A nine-year-old girl was mauled to death by two shepherd dogs on her way to school in northern China last week, according to Chinese news reports.

The girl, identified only as Ling Ling, was attacked while walking alone on a small rural path between a cornfield and woodland in Quyang county, Hebei province, last Thursday, Shanghai-based news site Thepaper.cn reported on Tuesday.

She cried out as the dogs lunged for her neck and passing pupils ran to the school for help, the Yanzhou Metropolis Daily reported.

Ling Ling's older sister came running and tried to drive the dogs off with rocks but failed and went home to get their parents, the newspaper report said.

The parents drove the animals away but the girl later died of her wounds in hospital.

"Both dogs were big. They jumped on and bit the girl's neck. Her neck was almost severed and her head had wounds, too," the newspaper quoted a villager as saying. "It's so horrific."

'Stay put,' officials warn: Winter storms slam US as 50 million people travel for Thanksgiving

Two powerful winter storms hammered the West Coast and Midwest on Wednesday, shutting down highways and snarling travel plans on one of the nation's busiest travel days.

Weather watches, warnings and alerts were posted across much of the western half of the nation after a storm that had been a "bomb cyclone" marched westward from the California coast, AccuWeather reported.

Hundreds of stranded cars were removed from Interstate 5 headed north from California into Oregon in the aftermath of the storm that dumped snow and created whiteout conditions on both sides of the California-Oregon border.

As the skies cleared Wednesday, drivers reported being stuck for 17 or more hours in blizzard conditions and some spent the night in their vehicles.

Farther south, winter storm warnings were in effect for the mountains near Los Angeles into early Friday with 6 to 12 inches of snow forecast for most mountains, except 12 to 24 inches for the San Gabriels, the National Weather Service in Los Angeles warned.

"Expect significant travel delays and road closures with dangerous winter driving conditions," the weather service said.

Lightning has killed 49 herds of cattle in a kraal of 90 animals in Ndiki area of Limulunga district in Western province.

This happened around 16 hours yesterday, lightning struck a kraal housing cattle belonging to Malebekwa Mbulai (91).

Mr. Mbulai, who was emotional charged said he wondered how lightning struck the animals that were under a tree which was however not affected at all.

He said the incident was strange considering the fact that the meat did not turn dark as usually is the case in lightning incidents.

The 91-year-old man said almost all the animals that died were oxen, which are used for transportation and ploughing.

A jet passes snow-covered cars parked at Denver International Airport on November 26, 2019 in Denver, Colorado. Flights were delayed and rescheduled due to a winter storm that dropped nearly a foot of snow in the city.

Heavy snow and wind shut down highways Tuesday in Colorado and Wyoming, closed schools in Nebraska and forced more than 1,000 travelers to sleep overnight in Denver's airport after hundreds of flights were canceled just as Thanksgiving travel moved into high gear.

The storm was heading to South Dakota, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, while a "bomb cyclone" weather phenomenon began toppling trees, knocking out power and dumping snow as it barreled into California and Oregon — making for a double whammy of early wintry weather.

Authorities on both sides of the California-Oregon border reported numerous crashes and closed roads. The National Weather Service urged people to wait to travel for the holiday until the weather improves.

At Denver International Airport, about 10 inches (25 centimeters) of snow mixed with winds that limited visibility prompted the cancellation of about 30 percent of the airport's average daily 1,600 flights.

FRIGID cold spreads across northeast Russia, down to -54 °C reported in Verhojansk!

An intense Arctic outbreak has developed over parts of Russia lately. During the mid/late November temperatures usually already drop below -25 to -30 °C, but NE parts of Russia have now slipped even more - below -50 °C in the last days! Although such temperatures are nothing off the charts in the region, getting below -50 °C at the end of November is rather extreme even there! While it was still 'only' around -35 °C last week!

The pattern supporting such evolution is led by disturbance of the polar circulation, allowing outbreaks of frigid cold airmass to spread south into Russia. As it happened this time, extremely cold airmass spread into parts of north and northeast Russia. Many areas are experiencing below normal temperatures as 850 mbar temperatures are even below -30 °C, supporting daytime maximum values not higher than -25 °C and mornings below -50 °C!

Bear-hunting hounds attack hikers and pup in Green Mountain National Forest, Vermont

Two hikers and their dog were attacked by several bear hunting dogs last month.

On Saturday, Oct. 19, around mid-day, a pack of bear hunting dogs attacked two hikers and their puppy on the Catamount Trail in the Green Mountain National Forest near the Ripton-Goshen border.

Former Ripton resident Meryl Siegman, 65, and her husband, Ron Scapp, 64, who have been hiking in the area for more than 30 years, had completed roughly one-quarter of their intended walk when they heard barking, they told the Independent.

"Almost instantaneously we were swarmed by five dogs," Siegman said.

Scapp described them as "big hound dogs, in the 60- to 80-pound range, wearing GPS collars."
The couple had been aware that it was hunting season.

"We're always running into hunters on the trail and we've encountered people with hunting dogs before," Scapp said. "Usually they're on a scent trail. But these dogs attacked immediately."

A 6.0-magnitude tremor rattled the Greek holiday island of Crete this morning and was felt on the southern mainland, a day after tremors were felt across south-eastern Europe

A powerful undersea earthquake has rattled Greece's holiday island of Crete and was felt in the southern mainland.

The 6.0-magnitude tremor this morning left the 'whole island shaking' and houses trembling 'dramatically', witnesses said.

Experts said there were 10million people living in areas where the quake was felt, but there were no initial reports of damage.

'It was a major earthquake, the whole island shook but fortunately so far no damage has been reported,' Crete regional governor Stavros Arnaoutakis told state TV.

One witness at Efthymi in Crete said: 'It went on for a long time. I was outside and I could here the rails on the balconies creaking.'

'Strongest I have ever felt. House shook dramatically, scary ... felt that it wouldn't stop. A very long few seconds!' said another, 30 miles from the epicentre.
