Bad weather of biblical proportions struck the Azerbaijani capital of Baku on Sunday as heavy rains flooded the city center while a mud volcano violently erupted on its outskirts, producing a pillar of fire and smoke.

Baku's mud volcano Othman-Bozdag on Sunday sent flames and smoke as high as 200-300 meters in two consecutive bursts. A statement by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources said the rare event was still in full swing.

Cracks, some as deep as 40 meters, have also appeared in the area surrounding the volcano, the ministry warned. Luckily, no settlements are located in the immediate vicinity of the volcano.

Chad Hicks, the town administrator for Caswell Beach, said the small beach town on Oak Island is doing pretty well — at least compared to some of its neighboring towns — in the wake of Hurricane Florence.

"If it wasn't for all the limbs and siding down, it would look almost normal," he said, estimating around 50 people weathered the storm out there.

The golf course on the town's side of the island, around 30 minutes south of Wilmington, probably had the most severe damage, losing a lot of its trees and flooding, he added.

One thing that did stand out to residents, however, was the whale that washed ashore after the storm.

Visitors to a beach in the Royal National Park, north of Wollongong, have been told to steer clear of the water.

A dead whale floating close to Wattamolla beach has increased shark activity in the area, forcing the closure of the popular swimming spot amid safety fears.

An alert on the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) website has urged visitors not to swim, snorkel or scuba dive at the beach "due to a decaying whale carcass and shark activity that is currently in the immediate area".

Penalties apply, the NPWS has warned.

A new variety of green crabs is characterized by its aggressiveness.

Crab-mutants threaten the populations of blue and sand mussels and destroy algae on the rocky coast of Maine, US.

Green crabs have inhabited the northern United States since the late 19th century but have recently interbred with other species of crabs that come from the coast of Nova Scotia in Canada. A new subspecies poses a threat to local inhabitants, LiveScience reported.

US fire crews dealing with the clean-up operation after hurricane floodwaters receded made an unexpected discovery: dead fish spread across the highway.

The flooding from the deadly hurricane pushed the fish from their natural habitat and scattered them along an interstate highway, the Penderlea Fire Department posted on Facebook on Saturday.

"Well, we can add 'washing fish off of the interstate' to the long list of interesting things firefighters get to experience!" it said.

Here in physical reality, the Earth is cooling, and the signs are ubiquitous: Obscene amounts of summer snow in Alberta, and inbound in Iceland. Early frosts returning to the US corn belt. The southern hemisphere as well. Physical reality reigns supreme over the diktat of the global warming alarmists -- although they will try to censor the truth as long as possible -- but we must prepare for the cooler times ahead.
