Curiosity continues to swirl among residents of Brighton and Lochbuie after a loud boom rocked several neighborhoods just northeast of Denver Monday night.

"One boom. "BOOM!" And then the vibration," one Lochbuie resident told CBS4 reporter Karen Morfitt.

"It stood out and definitely made me wonder what it was," said another resident.

Cecilia Ruybal thought crooks had targeted her home, possibly crashing into her garage.

Rare pink auroras sparked by spotless Sun's solar wind

On Nov. 22nd, the face of the sun was unblemished by sunspots, and NOAA classified solar activity as "very low." Nevertheless, the skies above Tromsø, Norway, exploded with a remarkable outburst of pink auroras. "Suddenly, the whole valley turned white (with a hint of pink)," says Frank Meissner, who witnessed and photographed the display. "It was over after about 20 seconds."

How bright was it? "The brightness of the auroras may be compared to the car lights in the background of my photo," points out Meissner.

Great Sitkin volcano alert level raised to yellow in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska

An increase in seismic activity and degassing prompted the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) to raise the alert level of the volcano to yellow today:

"Recent observations of a robust steam plume and a period of gradually increasing seismicity over several months indicate that Great Sitkin Volcano has become restless and is exhibiting behavior that is above background levels. AVO is thus raising the aviation color code and volcano alert level to YELLOW/ADVISORY.

"Photographs of the volcano taken by local observers on Sunday, November 19 show a light-colored vapor plume rising about 300 m (1,000 ft) above the vent area and extending about 15-20 km (9 - 12 mi) to the south. Nothing unusual was observed in seismic or infrasound data around the time the photographs were taken and nothing noteworthy has been observed in satellite data since the emissions were observed.

Popocatepetl Volcano erupts in Mexico, the largest since 2013

A cloud of smoke, ash and steam rose to around 5,900 feet over Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano following November 23's eruption, the largest since 2013, El Universal reported.

Mexico's National Center for Prevention of Disasters (CENAPRED) warned residents in Central Mexico not to approach the volcano's crater and of the potential for volcanic ash to fall to the southeast of Popocatepetl.

Eruptions in 2013 from Popocatepetl, Mexico's most active volcano, caused airlines to temporarily cancel flights to and from Mexico City due to the threat from volcanic ash.

35 people injured, 600+ homes damaged as tornado rips through Sidoarja, Indonesia

Indonesia tornado
An apparent tornado hit a densely populated area of Indonesia Wednesday injuring dozens of people and damaging hundreds of homes.

According to local officials, the tornado carved a five minute long path of destruction through Tambakrejo Village in the Sidoarja regency of the country, home to nearly 2 million people.

Videos posted to social media show the twister ripping apart buildings in the area, tossing pices of them into the air with ease.

"Tornadoes are rare, but not unheard of, in wet tropical climates such as in Indonesia, said Donegan. "This tornado appeared to be of the weaker variety, but since it struck a densely populated area, it impacted a large number of people."

Indonesian disaster agency official Dwidjo Prawito told Reuters that at least 35 people were injured and more than 600 homes were damaged by the twister.


Comment: Last month three waterspouts were spotted in the waters off Thousand Islands regency, a phenomenon rarely seen in the tropics, the National Mitigation Agency said.

In a tragic incident a 90-year-old woman died in stray dog attack at Keshavaswamypet in Ongole town of Prakasham district. Penigalla Venkayamma (90) was living in her old tile house though her son lives in the town.

Venkayamma was keen on staying in her home that was built by her husband Appaiah. Though her son Koteswar Rao lives in Kummaripalem in Ongole town, she remained in the house as she was sentimentally attached to it. She even turned down the requests of his son and even came back to the old house when he took her to his house.

Koteswar Rao used to take her lunch every day in the afternoon. On Wednesday when he came along with the lunch box, he found his mother dead with injuries on her face, hands and legs. He alerted the neighbours and inquired if they identified anything suspicious. However, they did not approached police to lodge a complaint.

Rare November tornado touches down in Pittsburgh

A tornado touched ground in the Pittsburgh area over the weekend and no one knew until now.

The local National Weather Service reported Monday that an EF1 tornado - with peak winds of 90 mph - struck Plum and Murrysville early Sunday morning for about four minutes along Saltsburg Road, tearing shingles from roofs, snapping tree trunks and flipping a car.

It was the second tornado to hit the region this November alone; another touched ground in Columbiana County, Ohio on Nov. 5. Before this year, there had been only five November tornadoes in the area since 1950, said NWS meteorologist Matthew Kramar.

"This is a rare event for November, and even rarer because it happened after midnight," Mr. Kramar said. "Typically it happens during the day because you need intense thunderstorms to fuel them."

The weather service, which typically examines damage firsthand after thunderstorms with high winds, received reports of damage in Murrysville Sunday. Mr. Kramar observed a flipped car and tree damage outside of a retirement community off of Saltsburg in Plum, substantial tree damage further east at Clover Commons and "considerable" tree damage near Sardis Road in Murrysville. "Just about every evergreen in a 100-yard swath was damaged. The storm cut a track right through those trees," Mr. Kramar said.

Some other rare tornadoes have formed around the planet in recent times including countries such as 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.

Bye-bye Great Bear: Body count is mounting for Yellowstone grizzly bears after US government strips endangered species protection

yellowstone grizzly
With the recent cold snap, some Yellowstone grizzly bears are slowing down - but it will still be another week or more before they are snug in dens and out of harms' way for the winter. In a disturbing trend, this year the bear body count continues to mount at a time when the population has been, by weight of evidence, declining. This problem will likely worsen with the federal government's decision last spring to strip endangered species protections from Yellowstone's grizzly bears and give management authority to the states ("delist").

Here, as elsewhere in the lower-48 states, government scientists have found that most grizzly bears die from human causes. This year is no exception. Only three of the 51 recorded grizzly bear deaths may be from natural causes.

And the rate of killing is shocking - one bear approximately every two days since hunting season began in October. Never have so many bear deaths been investigated for possible foul play in one year - 26 bears and counting, more than half of all known deaths.
