A man who was struck by lightning while working on a roof Thursday afternoon in eastern Kansas City has died, a relative told The Star.

Leonel Sanchez, 23, and another man fell from a roof at a residence near 49th Street and Raymond Avenue. They were taken to a hospital.

Another roofer called Sanchez's cousin, Martin Contreras, and the cousin's girlfriend, Lizeth Garcia, to tell them that Sanchez was dead, Garcia said in a phone interview on Friday.

Sanchez had been in the U.S. for about seven months and was planning to return to his hometown of Tierra Nueva in central Mexico, Garcia said. He lived and worked with Contreras in Springdale, Ark., before relocating to Kansas City to work with some other cousins.

Rare high-elevation tornado forms near Weston Pass Fire, Colorado

Doubly rare event only sixth tornado recorded in Park County

A tornado has touched down at the edge of a high-elevation wildfire in Colorado, a doubly rare event that apparently caused no damage and had little effect on the fire.

The National Weather Service says the twister touched down at about 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Park County south of Fairplay, a central Colorado town about 10,000 feet above sea level.

National Weather Service meteorologist Russell Danielson says the tornado appeared to be near or on the edge of a wildfire that has burned about 17 square miles.

Danielson says tornadoes are rare at that elevation and rare at any wildfire.


Comment: Other rare or unseasonal tornadoes have formed around the planet in recent times including countries such as Germany, Austria, South Africa, Turkey, Netherlands, Mexico, United States, Russia and China.

Study: Tornado outbreaks are increasing - but scientists don't understand why. A coauthor of this paper states "What's pushing this rise in extreme outbreaks is far from obvious in the present state of climate science."

Recently other climate scientists were saying hurricane Harvey "should serve as a warning", as they continue to push the man-made climate change/global warming lie. They are not considering the importance of atmospheric dust loading and the winning Electric Universe model in their research. Such information and much more, are explained in the book Earth Changes and the Human Cosmic Connection by Pierre Lescaudron and Laura Knight-Jadczyk.
The accumulation of cometary dust in the Earth's atmosphere plays an important role in the increase of tornadoes, cyclones, hurricanes and their associated rainfalls, snowfalls and lightning. To understand this mechanism we must first take into account the electric nature of hurricanes, tornadoes and cyclones, which are actually manifestations of the same electric phenomenon at different scales or levels of power.
Increasing cometary and volcanic dust loading of the atmosphere (one indicator is the intensification of noctilucent clouds we are witnessing) is accentuating electric charge build-up, whereby we can expect to observe more extreme weather and planetary upheaval as well as awesome light shows and other related mysterious phenomena.

Auto exhaust from a car park biases Scottish high temperature - Met Office denies record

From Mike Bastasch at The Daily caller and the "told you so, again, and again" department
U.K. meteorologists won't be declaring a June 28 temperature reading as the hottest recorded in Scotland since the early 20th century after discovering a car parked near the weather station may have contaminated the data.

The city of Motherwell, southeast of Glasgow, recorded a record-high temperature of 91.8 degrees on June 28, according to Met Office figures, breaking the previous record of 91.2 degrees set in Greycrook in August 2003.

The record temperature reading even found its way into the Washington Post. The Post's Capital Weather Gang included Motherwell's heat in a round-up of record-high temperatures around the world.
"No single record, in isolation, can be attributed to global warming," the Post reported, trying to link summer weather to global warming. "But collectively, these heat records are consistent with the kind of extremes we expect to see an increase in a warming world."

Comment: This isn't the first time "record-breaking" announcements had to be withdrawn

A Durham fire official said a man was hit by lightning Thursday evening.

A call came in at 6:36 p.m. saying that a 74-year-old man was hit by lightning at the Fairfield Rec Center on Rosemont Parkway.

An employee at the club said the lightning hit the tree and then the man, who was trying to get into the rec center and had an umbrella up.. The fire official also said that the man was under a tree when the lightning hit.

"We heard a loud boom and we heard people hollering and crying," said swim club manager Maurice Thorpe. "The lightning struck, split the tree, came down hit the top of the umbrella and hit him in the right hand."

An intense heat wave is shattering temperature records in Iran and the Caucasus nations of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia, causing power shortages that are adding to discomfort in the region.

Weather experts on July 6 said the heat wave is the result of a high-pressure dome or heat dome that formed over the Eurasian region and reaches as far north as southern Russia, where temperatures hit a record high for June on June 28.

In the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, temperatures soared to a record of 41 degrees Celsius on July 4, contributing to unhealthy air pollution levels reported by the National Environmental Agency.

Earlier in the week, on July 1, temperatures hit a record 43 degrees in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku, prompting heavy use of air-conditioning that the government said caused an explosion at a hydroelectric power plant and a nationwide power outage.

The Spring Fire burning in southern Colorado continued to explode in size as acreage reached 94,125 as of Wednesday morning, according to fire officials. This makes it the third largest wildfire in state history after the Hayman Fire in 2002 and the West Fork Fire complex (technically three separate fires that merged) in 2013.

986 people are fighting the fire, which is 5 percent contained. Crews are dealing with hot, dry and windy weather conditions.

A tweet posted by officials posted Monday night said that 104 homes have been destroyed by the fire and 61 are intact.

A baby whale was found dead by residents in the seawaters off a village in Bacacay town, Albay province Tuesday.

Nonie Enolva, spokesperson of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in Bicol, said the female Bryde's whale calf was found off Barangay Namanday. It was 4.2 meters long and weighed about 700 kilos.

Enolva said the cause of death, based on a necropsy conducted by the BFAR, was "starvation secondary to drowning."
