Gemini, the two-headed snake, is already four weeks old and will, hopefully, be on display at The Pet Zone in Pittston should it live past six months.
A little over a month ago, a snake egg began hatching at The Pet Zone and two little heads popped out of the shell.

Bill Pambianco Sr. and his son, Bill Jr., thought it was twin snakes. But, it was something much different.

"There was two heads sticking out and we thought it was twins but, as it emerged a little more, we saw it had two heads," Bill Jr. said. "There was no inclination; it was just a random thing that happened. We did not know that it was going to be two-headed."

According to Bill Jr., manager of the Pet Zone and a reptile enthusiast, there is a 1 in 100,000 chance of a two-headed snake hatching.

Adapt 2030 Ice Age Report: 5X monthly rains and false wildfire narratives

Climate patterns are shifting across the globe with areas becoming wetter and others moving to drought. The NE USA is a region that got 5x more rainfall than usual in July 2018. Arctic temperatures are still well below normal with huge sea ice concentrations remaining and the California wildfires are now squarely on forestry mismanagement according to the US federal government.

Recently released video from Cal Fire shows the most intense tornado ever in California history that trapped and killed a firefighter in Redding last month.

37-year-old Jeremiah "Jeremy" Stoke was a longtime Redding Fire Department veteran. According to Cal fire, on July 26th, he was driving his truck in northwest Redding and helping evacuate residents from the Carr Fire when he got into trouble.

Stoke radioed out a mayday call, saying he was getting burned over. Then his transmissions abruptly stopped.

The fire tornado exploded in the middle of what was already a gigantic and devastating wildfire.

Strong and shallow M6.1 earthquake strikes Costa Rica

earthquake costa rica M6.1 August 18 2018
A strong and shallow earthquake registered by the USGS as M6.1 hit Costa Rica at 23:22 UTC (17:22 local time) on August 17, 2018. The agency is reporting a depth of 15.9 km (9.8 miles). EMSC is reporting M6.1 at a depth of 44 km (27.3 miles). This earthquake can have a low humanitarian impact based on the magnitude and the affected population and their vulnerability.

The epicenter was located 18.4 km (11.5 miles) W of San Vito (population 3 981), 47.2 km (29.3 miles) SSE of Buenos Aires (population 11 680), Costa Rica and 54.8 km (34.1 miles) W of Volcan (population 10 286), Panama.

There are about 880 000 people living within 100 km (62 miles) and 4 700 within 10 km.

Some 25 000 people are estimated to have felt strong shaking, 165 000 moderate, 2 052 000 light and 12 661 000 weak.

The USGS issued a green alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses. There is a low likelihood of casualties and damage.

Comment: Below are some of the most notable quakes in just the last two weeks or so; Alaska has seen its strongest quake ever recorded, there have been many quakes reaching magnitude 6, and in diverse locations, and there have been earthquake swarms - our planet really is rocking and rolling: Also check out SOTTs monthly documentary: SOTT Earth Changes Summary - July 2018: Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor Fireballs

Earthquake strikes north east of Raba, Indonesia on Friday (Aug 17).
A relatively deep offshore earthquake struck the Indonesian archipelago late on Friday (Aug 17), according to data from the US Geological Survey.

The magnitude-6.6 quake was located 153km north-east of Raba at a depth of 564.7km, the USGS said.

Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) said in a tweet there was no tsunami risk.

Netizens took to social media to share news about the earthquake, with some saying they had felt it in Bali, about 580 km from Raba.

The epicentre of Friday's quake was around 500km from the island of Lombok, where two deadly tremors - and dozens of aftershocks - wreaked widespread damage earlier in the month.


A magnitude-6.2 earthquake rocked Lombok on Aug 9, sparking panic after a powerful earthquake just four days earlier.

Indonesia sees frequent earthquakes as it is situated on the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Sabancaya volcano in Peru erupts putting nation's second-biggest city on alert

Sabancaya "came back to life" in 1986
Peru's Sabancaya volcano, which is located less than 50 miles from the country's second city, Arequipa, has begun erupting, sending a column of ash more than two miles into the air.

The latest phase of eruptive activity follows reports of explosions at the volcano averaging 23 per day between August 6 and 12, as well as earthquakes and high levels of toxic sulphur dioxide gas.


The Volcano Discovery website characterised the eruption as "intermittent" while the Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP) tweeted yesterday: "The ash from the Sabancaya was dispersed today towards the Northeast, East and Southeast of the volcano.

"The most important explosion of this day generated an erupting column of 3,500 metres from the base of the crater."

'Floating ball of fire' seen outside Essex, UK care home during thunderstorm

A smaller 'ball of fire' than this one - shot in Maastricht in the Netherlands - was seen in Great Wakering.
The cause of this rare meteorological phenomenon has remained unexplained for centuries

A 'floating ball of fire' has been spotted during a thunderstorm outside an Essex care home.

The strange meteorological phenomenon, known as ball lightning, was reported by residents in a Great Wakering care home during last Friday's thunderstorms (August 10).

Ball lightning is usually associated with thunderstorms but lasts considerably longer than a normal lightning bolt.

Tom Defty, forecaster at the Essex Weather Centre, explained how this was only the third report of ball lightning he has come across during 20 years on the job.

"Residents at this care home reported that an orb of fire was floating in the gardens of the home," he said.
