MDOT closed Highway 57 south of Vancleave due to flooding at Quave Road last week. More roads flooded and the rivers are rising as a result of heavy rains that fell Thursday, June 29, 2017.
Heavy rain that moved through Thursday evening left yards and streets flooded as the saturated ground could not hold more water.

Waters receded after the rain moved out, but people were reporting on social media that some houses were taking on water, pools were overflowing and streets were impassable.

The good news is the heavy rains are not expected to continue through the holiday weekend, according to the weather service forecast. Although afternoon rain showers are always a possibility during this time of year.

Two persons died and one sustained injuries when a wild elephant went on a rampage at Konamali village in Cooch Behar on Monday morning. "Two people were attacked by a wild elephant. They both died," said Cooch Behar SP Anup Jaiswal. The deceased have been identified as Upen Burman (66) and Mahindranath Rai (73). Sources in the police said both were on way to their fields when they were attacked by the elephant. "Burman was the first one to be attacked, when he tried to chase the elephant. He died on the spot. Then the elephant attacked Rai. Like Burman, he too was flung in the air and died at the spot," said a source.

Another person, Sanjay Rai, who was present nearby, had a narrow escape as the elephant got distracted by the sound of another animal and moved away, he added. "Soon after, villagers, police personnel and forest officials rushed to the spot. The injured person was taken to Cooch Behar MJN Hospital. He is stated to be stable." The elephant was heading towards the jungles of Alipurduar, said eyewitnesses.

Comment: 108 fatalities due to elephant attacks in just one state of India over a year does seem extremely high given the fact that some other sources claim that elephants kill a total of around 500 or 600 people annually across the world.

A flooded street in Brandenburg on Thursday.
Heavy rain has meant that Berlin firefighters battled flooded streets and cellars throughout the night on Thursday and into Friday morning. Fire services were still in action on Friday morning, working hard to pump water out of cellars and away from streets after hours of uninterrupted rain on Thursday. On Friday morning 600 professional firefighters were still deployed. They had been supported by around 550 volunteers on Thursday evening.

The rain started shortly after midday on Thursday and still hadn't stopped by the evening. Much of the inner city had been brought to a standstill late on Thursday, with water levels often reaching up to knee height. Throughout Thursday and Friday people uploaded eye-watering footage of the flooding to social media. On Friday morning one commuter filmed a man swimming along the street in a central neighbourhood of the capital.

Two pit bulls killed a man delivering newspapers in Kalksteenfontein.
A 57-year-old Cape Flats man has been killed in a savage attack by two pit bulls.

Ironically, the victim was delivering newspapers, which had a front page story about a pit bull attack in another neighbourhood last week.

Police and the Cape of Good Hope SPCA were called to Uintjie Street in Kalksteenfontein just after 11am on Thursday where they found the bloody body of the man.

Chunks of flesh of the man's neck and arm were ripped off, and one of his ears were missing.

Neighbours say the man, only identified as Willie from Bonteheuwel, had been delivering the Athlone News when the dogs attacked him.

A new report and video out from NASA about the upcoming "solar minimum", they phrased it so that there is no mention of the "grand solar minimum" which will send Earth's weather patterns out of sync, so I tried my best to fill in the missing pieces of the cosmic ray increases, strength of the next solar cycle, weather changes and electrical changes in our atmosphere, the electric universe and the cause - effect relation ship of it all. Mostly the crop loss aspect which is encountered by every society during a grand solar minimum.

Heavy rain brings flash floods and havoc to Mexico City

Mexico City floods


Transportation infrastructure hard hit as up to 70 millimeters recorded in Mexico City


The rainy season is in full swing once again in Mexico City where a deluge caused havoc yesterday. Heavy rains lashed the city beginning in the late afternoon, causing flash flooding that stranded motorists in their submerged vehicles, forced the closure of key transportation infrastructure and flooded people's homes. Up to 70 millimeters of rain fell on some parts of the city.

The boroughs of Miguel Hidalgo and Azcapotzalco were the worst hit although the deluge also affected other boroughs and the wider metropolitan area. There have been no reports of fatalities.

Last night Mexico City Mayor Miguel Ángel Mancera stated that 2,000 government workers on 20 teams were working to restore affected roads in the capital. Flooding was particularly severe on the city's most famous boulevard Paseo de la Reforma and important ring road Circuito Interior, with some vehicles completely submerged by the rapidly accumulating waters.
