A breathtaking tornado was captured on video and in photos by onlookers in Romania on Tuesday. One video, which was shot by an intrepid man at around 6 p.m. local time and briefly streamed live on Facebook, showed the monster twister churning up dust clouds as it tore through the plains in southeastern Calarasi County, in the Muntenia region -- about 51 miles due east of Bucharest, Romania's capital.

Other videos and photos depicted the towering tornado from various vantage points.

According to local Romanian media Libertatea, the tornado caused seven injuries and damage to some agricultural vehicles and rural facilities. The wounded were passengers aboard a bus that was carrying 39 people and was lifted by the wind and thrown 10 meters into a nearby field, according to the report. Photos taken at the scene showed the green passenger bus lying on its side in the field with its windshield shattered and blown out.

Another report from local media indicated that several houses sustained damage from the tornado.

Ice Age Farmer Report: Burger King launches transhumanist meat - Lord Birkenhead smiles

Bleeding meatless burger
Bleeding meatless burger
Burger King announces they will be taking Impossible's Bleeding Burger, the recently-FDA-approved GMO lab-grown meat backed by Bill Gates, into franchises nationwide, in what is a very clear step away from classical farming and ranching and towards a technocratic, transhumanist future. This future has been publicly written of (and is being built) by "elites" -- among them, Lord Birkenhead, about whom we speak today -- as a bid to retain control as modern agriculture meets its imminent demise due to entirely natural cycles of climate.

High snowfall totals have been recorded in the Rockies as a late-season storm moves through the region, sparking travel advisories and warnings.

The region is no stranger to late-season snow events.

"It's fairly common to get snow this late in the season for parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.

Denver has had measurable snowfall after April 20 in 2016, 2017, 2018 and now in 2019, too," AccuWeather Meteorologist Steve Travis said.

In Denver, the average day for the last snow is April 27, but there has been measurable snow in the area as late as June 1.

Heavy snowfall totals have accumulated over the previous three days with the highest totals recorded in Montana. As of Tuesday morning, 29 inches of snow were recorded in Highwood, Montana, and 18 inches were recorded in Monarch, Montana, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

Mozambique - Tropical Cyclone Kenneth leaves 38 dead and 20,000 displaced

flood
Tropical Cyclone Kenneth has continued to batter parts of Mozambique with heavy rain after the storm made landfall in the north of the country on 25 April, 2019, causing severe flooding. River levels are extremely high and the flood situation is likely to worsen over the coming days, according to reports.

Pemba, the capital of Cabo Delgado Province on Mozambique's northeastern coast, recorded 300mm of rain in 24 hours to 28 April. The UN says the town has seen over 540mm of rain since Kenneth made landfall.

Mozambique's National Disaster Management Institute (INGC) said at least 38 people have now died as a result of TC Kenneth. Four people died when Tropical Cyclone Kenneth passed over the Comoros Islands on 24 April, 2019.

Thousands of Canadians have been evacuated from their homes as a result of severe flooding and rising water levels, while thousands more are working to stem the flow of water.

Across the provinces of Quebec, Ontario, and New Brunswick, thawing snow and heavy rain have led to record-high water levels in some places. Thousands of volunteers and residents, as well as the military, have been working to save homes.

The Canadian Armed Forces has deployed troops to help flood-hit regions across all three provinces. More members of the military are involved in fighting flooding in eastern Canada right now than in combat zones overseas.

"We don't have any limit. It's all based on the situation. If more are needed, we will always make more troops available," Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan said.

Authorities have asked homeowners in many of the at-risk areas to evacuate while the roads are still usable.


Comment: Meanwhile in Alberta and Saskatchewan a weekend snowstorm closed highways with drifts of over two feet.
