Shark attacks
A teen from Ohio had a terrifying encounter with a shark earlier this month while boogie boarding in South Carolina.

Reagan Readnour, 14, was on vacation in Hilton Head when she was bitten by a shark twice, the Island Packet reported.

The teen said that she was boogie boarding at the beach with her family when she felt something tug at her leg.

"I thought it was my brother messing with me when I felt something grab at my leg," Readonor told the Island Packet on Friday. "I felt a terrible sting and didn't know what it was."

Readonor only realized that she had been attacked after her brother saw blood.

Clearing up after intense hail hit Spain's city of Girona on Friday 30 June.
Torrential rain accompanied by huge amounts of hail hit the city of Girona in Spain's northeastern region of Catalonia, on Friday, June 30, 2017.

According to the Meteorological Service of Catalonia (SMC), in just 30 minutes the storm left Girona 53 liters per square meter as reported in El Periódico de Catalunya.

The Mayor of Girona, Marta Madrenas said that the city suffered "a very complicated, unusual situation, as never before had been seen in the city."

He indicated that although there were alerts for intense rainfall and to prepare for some flooding "the sanitation system was unable to absorb all water."


Comment: Some other severe hailstorms from around the world in recent months include: It is likely that atmospheric dust loading from increased comet and volcanic activity is contributing to these 'exceptional' or 'freak' hailstorms, the cooling effect of which causes ice crystals to form.

The tropical magnificent frigatebird made a rare appearance at Point Pelee, Ont. on Thursday afternoon.
Joan Walker was at her kitchen table talking to her mother when she shrieked at the rare sight of a massive tropical bird that has only been spotted a handful of times in Ontario.

The magnificent frigatebird, with its six-foot wide wing span, caught her eye because it was being harassed by a dozen or so gulls as it soared outside her home on Pelee Drive on Thursday afternoon.

She immediately jumped from her chair and ran next door to her family's nature store to tell her husband Mike Malone. He quickly snapped several photos to verify the sighting for the rest of the bird-watching world.

"Oh my God, it's a frigatebird," Walker recalled yelling into the phone. "I went running out of the house."

LIGHTNING
Russian authorities say a massive thunderstorm around Moscow has killed at least one person, injured several others and forced scores of planes to divert to other airports.

Weather experts are describing the storm as the biggest in decades, with one comparing it to the Biblical deluge.

The regional health department says a man was killed by lightning in Dmitrov, north of Moscow, and several others were injured by falling trees.

Two passenger jets were also hit by lightning as they approached Moscow but landed safely, suffering only minor damage, according to Interfax. About 40 planes had to be diverted.

People across the Omaha area called insurance agents, roofers and glass repair shops Friday after a hailstorm tore through the region Thursday night.

Rick Gobble spent his Friday morning doing what he called an "odd kind of spring cleaning": vacuuming glass shards from his car and sweeping the remnants of the back windshield from the street.

By the time he heard the "tapping, grainy sound" of hail Thursday night from inside his condo on the corner of Country Club Avenue and Colby Street, it likely already was too late to save his car from damage. Still, Gobble, 53, rushed to get the car into the garage.

When he got to the steps he hesitated, not wanting to run out into what he said looked like it was "raining billiard balls."

When he did step out into the storm, one of those hailstones ripped through his umbrella.

With drought over the Dakotas after a soggy start to the 2017 spring wheat planting season, the crop is in peril of above 70% losses, this was preceded by a 35% loss of winter wheat across the USA. Now Canada is forecasting lowered yields as well. You need to ask yourself where else it is happening planet wide also. These are the types of events that are related to grand solar minimum unstable growing patterns that occur every mini ice age. Prices will rise further from this point, and if the same pattern repeats next year, food prices will more than double.

Rome water fountains run dry as heat wave sparks 'exceptional' drought across Italy

Rome's traditional water fountains will be shut off for the first time in more than 140 years as a punishing heat wave continues to affect much of Italy.

The fountains - nicknamed 'nasoni,' or big noses for their long nozzles - are a source of relief for residents and tourists alike during the hot summer months, continuously dispensing water on piazzas and street corners.

The water, which is drawn from the volcanic Lake Bracciano to the north of the city, will be stopped Monday.

"We know perfectly well the inconvenience that this will cause, but it is due to the exceptional drought," Paolo Saccani, the head of the utility company that manages the fountains, wrote in a letter to Virginia Raggi, Rome's mayor.

Local authorities are alarmed by the falling level of the lake in recent months - but while the city has laid the blame for the measures on the heat wave, others have highlighted the city's poor plumbing and infrastructure.

There's a new island off the tip of Cape Point.
A new island has appeared off the coast in the US, near North Carolina's Cape Point, attracting adventurous tourists and photographers.

The mile-long sand bank first started appearing in the spring. "It was just a little bump in April," visitor Janice Regan told The Virginian Pilot. She and her grandson Caleb, 11, explored it looking for shells on Memorial Day.

Instagram user chadonka posted an aerial image of the new island, showing just how large the new addition is.
