Marapi Mountain in West Sumatra
Marapi Mount in West Sumatra erupted again today (4/6). Until this afternoon, the mountain situated in Agam Regency has erupted three times.

Bukittinggi Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Agency (PVMBG) observer Bujang said that the first eruption occurred at 10:10 in the morning by spewing 300-400 meters high of volcanic ashes. "It was followed by the next eruption at 10:22 in the morning with 600 to 700 meters high of volcanic ashes," Bujang added on Sunday (4/6).

The third eruption took place at 10.46 with volcanic ashes up to 400 meters. Bujang explained that the biggest eruption was the second taking place at 10:22 AM. He added that seismic reading was detected during the eruption. The amplitude of the seismic waves was 6 milimiters with 22 to 35 seconds of earthquake duration.

The status of hazard of Marapi was issued from Agustus 2011 through PVMBG recommendation letter number 1385/45/BGL.V/2011 on 3 August 2011 on the increase of Gunung Marapi status from (level I) to alert (level II). Until now, the status has not been revoked.

No More Lake in Costa Rica's Poas Volcano's Crater

Poas crater

Poas volcano crater
The lake of the Poas volcano has completely disappeared due to the intense activity that the colossus has maintained since April.

There's just a little water in the northern sector and the rest is gone because of the heat produced by the magmatic body.

Another change is that at the central part of the crater there are fumaroles that used to be on the bottom, making the degassing even more remarkable.

This Friday the cameras became active at 1 pm and showed that there was an eruption. It lasted until 7 pm with the emission of ash, water vapor and white gases. The ash column reached 1,000 meters high.

It was expected that the volcanic material would be moved westward, falling in the Central Valley and highlands of Guanacaste.

A tornado touches down near Three Hills on June 2, 2017.
Residents of a central Alberta town got a front-row seat to a spectacular spring tornado Friday afternoon. The twister touched down a little after 5 p.m. in a field a few kilometres northeast of the town of Three Hills, kicking up a large amount of dirt and dust as it bore its way east.

Incredible time-lapse footage of the twister was uploaded to YouTube by user Vance Neudorf.

Resident Dodi Brauen was watching the storm clouds from her front porch when the tornado started to take shape. "It started to rain, a little bit, and then I said 'oh, that looks like a funnel cloud.'" she said. "It looked like it was drawing the dust up." Watching from her home on the east outskirts of town, she said the tornado seemed to bypass her house before continuing on east.

With President Trumps pull out from the socialist re-distribution of wealth United Nations program the Paris Climate Accord / treaty, we can now get back to real science and looking at the facts that throughout history the Earths temperatures have always risen and fallen over multi century time frames, no CO2 needed. With the new grand solar minimum intensifying, I have put out a timeline for the amplification effects and we need a plan in place now to tell the planet what is unfolding and implement solutions to do so.This where President Trump / The Donald can excel. The time for change is now.
