Earth Changes
The blast was registered in June 2015 after a huge cloud of plasma released from the Sun struck the Earth at a speed of some 2.5 million kph.
The report in Physical Review Letters states that the impact of the solar storm caused the Earth's magnetic shield to compress, leading to massive geomagnetic atmospheric anomalies. Storm effects included aurora borealis and radio signal interruptions across several continents.
The animal attacked someone outside Sterling Court on Alabaster Way in Deltona about 2:30 p.m., according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
The person attacked couldn't break free of the squirrel and went inside with the animal. That's when it went wild and started attacking others inside an activity room.
"It's jumping on people and biting them and scratching them, so we need help," a worker told a 911 dispatcher.
Another person is heard in the background saying, "I feel lightheaded! I don't feel good!"
Mariappan of Ganapathypatti village near Kovilpatti was herding his goats when heavy rain lashed the area.
Mariappan and his goats died on the spot when lightning struck them.
This is the second death due to lightning in the region after the northeast monsoon set in a few days ago.
According to a private news channel, a wolf injured three people including a child who succumbed to his injuries on the way to hospital, while two others were under treatment.
Thirty people have been injured in attacks by wild animals in Bara tehsil during the last six months.
The area people said several requests had been made to the political administration to stop these attacks by these wild animals, but no action had been taken as yet.
They have demanded of the administration to start a campaign to save the people from wild animals.
The quake's epicenter was located 63 kilometers southeast of Don Marcelino, Davao Occidental. The quake struck at 11:21 p.m.
The quake, which was tectonic in origin, struck at a depth of 10 kilometers.
The quake is not expected to cause serious damage to properties. No aftershocks are likewise expected.
The quake was a "major" event centered in the capital and central Chile, the country's emergency office Onemi is cited by Reuters as saying.
However, Chile's navy said the earthquake doesn't meet the criteria to pose a tsunami threat.
The epicenter of the 6.4 magnitude quake was located 175 kilometers south of Santiago at a depth of 80 kilometers, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre said.
The US Geological Survey put the quake's magnitude at 6.3, reporting that it hit 41 miles from Santiago at a depth of 116 kilometers.
A violent storm swept over the area, according to local media reports, and in its wake came a perfectly-formed waterspout. The term refers to small, weak tornadoes that form over water, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather phenomenon provided a dazzling sight before dissipating as it ran into land, causing no damages, according to local media.
Reports began coming in about 2:30 p.m. of a cloud of rolling dust approaching the southern border of the Phoenix metro area.
The National Weather Service tweeted that the dust was being kicked up by a thunderstorm that could bring dust, heavy rain and small hail to some portions of the Valley. The weather was expected to stick around through rush hour and into the evening.
The rare geological phenomenon has unexpectedly emerged from the deep Earth interior.
The mud crater has suddenly appeared this week in a field in Santa Vittoria, Matenano, Italy, and has been bubbling mud since then.
The crater is spitting clay material out of the ground.
The mud volcano is now being surveyed by officials who study the possible threats of such a weird phenomenon on the nearby residents.
A look at how snow in Siberia affects the U.S. and why it's looking like the eastern and central United States will have a cold, snowy winter.
Siberia is known to be one of the coldest places on the planet, but exactly how cold and snowy it gets each year has big ramifications elsewhere on the globe.
In North America, a more snow-covered Russia means that colder air will have an easier time harvesting in Siberia and departing for our continent's heartland. Early in the calendar year, the air coming from Siberia can be cold enough to bring snow to even more southern reaches of the United States if the pattern sets up correctly.
The Extent of Snow Cover
Snow is covering the ground across most of Russia, including all of Siberia - likely the greatest extent of snow cover since 1998. Below is the current snow cover in northern Asia as of Oct. 31.
Some locations, including Sakha in east-central Russia, are seeing their snowiest winter on record, with most of the snow season yet to come. Nearly 10 feet of snow fell in some places in Siberia in just three days, according to the Government of Sakha.
