A derecho packing winds in excess of 75 mph moved across Wyoming and Colorado Saturday, damaging homes and knocking down trees and power lines.

The storms produced several hurricane-force wind gusts, including a 110 mph gust in Winter Park, Colorado, according to the National Weather Service. Winds up to 99 mph were reported in Great Divide, Colorado, and 81 mph in Rock Springs, Wyoming. A 78 mph wind gust was reported at Denver International Airport.

Enough significant wind gusts were recorded on Saturday that a record was set for most significant wind gusts in one calendar day.

The derecho, a strong line of thunderstorms that produces hundreds of miles of straight-line wind damage, developed in far eastern Utah Saturday morning, then raced northeastward across Colorado and Wyoming into the western Dakotas and western Nebraska during the afternoon and evening hours, a track of at least 750 miles in about 12 hours, according to Elizabeth Leitman, a meteorologist with NOAA's Storm Prediction Center.

The line of storms formed on the southern flank of a developing low pressure system over the northern Rockies and southwestern Canada.


Comment: Another rare derecho killed three and cut power to half a million people across Pennsylvania and New Jersey last Wednesday.

Decisions need to be made when there are not enough resources to go around through the shrinking supply chain. Labor shortages and unharvested crops mean out of season crops will not be available leading to a "hunger gap" of seasonal availability. Tunisia on par to smash record crop yields in 2020 with a history of asset bubbles.


Comment: The coronavirus crisis, in addition to earth changes affecting crop growth, and the losing value of currency which is set to get much worse in Western nations in particular, have made the production, availability, purchasing and distribution of food - a MAJOR global issue the likes of which we haven't seen in generations.

The US Gulf coast is bracing to be battered by a powerful tropical storm and tornados.

Rain pounded the region on Sunday ahead of the arrival of Tropical Storm Cristobal, which has already spawned a tornado in Florida and threatened more twisters along with high winds and storm surge.

Roads flooded in coastal Louisiana and Mississippi, and thousands were without power even before the storm made landfall.

Forecasters warned the storm would affect a wide area stretching roughly 180 miles (290 kilometres) east into Florida and would arrive late on Sunday, but they do not expect it to grow into a hurricane.

Wombat’s violent reign of terror on Dubbo family.
A family in NSW's Central West say they are lucky to be alive after they were viciously attacked by a "terminator-like" wombat.

Jeanette Ambrose, 78, lives in the bush near Dubbo and regularly interacts with and cares for native animals.

She has been living on the property, known as Daybreak Wildlife Sanctuary, for 40 years and during that time she hand-reared some of the wombats that played the character Fatso on the long-running series A Country Practice.

Jeanette is no stranger to the iconic Aussie marsupial, which is why she was delighted when her daughter Kim, who was in a cabin on the property, called her one morning to tell her there was a wombat wandering around.

Police said the Queensland man, aged between 50 and 60, was surfing off South Kingscliff Beach, north of the Salt Surf Life Saving Club.

Surf Life Saving NSW said the shark attacked the Gold Coast man and bit the back of his thigh after 10am. Nearby surfers rushed to the aid of the man. The shark reportedly circled the three men and rammed one of their boards.

The man died from his wounds at 10.40am.
