Eight houses are on the edge of a 20-feet hole as the ground collapsed just in front of them.

The dangerous landslide that even destroyed the wall of containment has occurred on November 9, 2015, at night and hasn't been secured yet.

Luckily, only two families were sleeping in their homes since the state agency for emergency management and administration of disasters ( Aemead) had given orders of eviction last Monday.

This ground instability isn't new. These houses are suffering for more than one year from cracks and land movements.

But it is only on November 6, 2015 that the sidewalks began to collapse and the streets to crack.

And here a first video of this terrifying geological event:

Man bitten on arm by alligator in Tavares
A man was taken to the hospital Wednesday after being bitten by an alligator in Lake County, fire officials said.

William Bechard, 68, was bitten on the arm. He was taken to Florida Hospital Waterman and released Wednesday night.

Bechard was attacked while pulling weeds outside his home, which is on a canal on Lynn Circle in Tavares.

Bechard said he is shaken up by the incident, but won't let that stop him from going near the water.

"I was pulling out the weeds and all I (felt) was pressure. No splash, no nothing, and I got up like this and it splashed right here," he said.

A video posted on YouTube shows a fire racing up a hill, turning it from pale yellow to charred black in a matter of seconds. The unbelievable speedy blaze put 30 to 50 homes in danger and triggered evacuation warnings.

Around 30 acres of land were affected by the fire, but luckily no one was injured and neither did any homes burn down in Dead Horse Hill in Casper, Wyoming.

"Oh my God. It's so scary. It's crazy!" you can hear someone say on the clip.

Comment: All over the world we are witnessing extensive wildfires, which in some regions have been described as "unprecedented". The National Interagency Fire Center has described the 2015 wildfire season in the United States as a record breaker.

A record 52 percent of the U.S. Forest Service's budget was dedicated to fighting wildfires this year, compared to 16 percent in 1995. Two massive wildfires that burned up parts of Northern California did nearly $2 billion in damage according to one insurance company.

Could some of these wildfires have been fueled from outgassing, then possibly 'sparked' by an increase in atmospheric electric discharge events, such as lightning strikes and other 'cosmic' ignition sources? See also:

The Arctic is unaware of global warming: Sea ice and snow cover reaches highest extent of the last eleven years

sea ice chart
© dmi.dkThe DMI chart for sea ice extent (30% and more) shows that it is now (7 November 2015 – black line) considerably more than at any time for the date over the past 11 years.
With an ice extent of 8 million square kilometers at the start of November, the Arctic has reached the highest sea ice extent of the last eleven years. A chart (above) from the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) clearly shows the highest extent for sea ice cover with 30% or more ice on 7 November 2015.

This chart comes as no surprise for those who have been monitoring the weather and ice developments in the North Atlantic and Greenland.

The net growth of the Greenland ice sheet, which surely is a surprise for many, saw an increase in October of approximately 200 km³ (200 billion cubic meters) since September 1, 2015, i.e. in just 2 months:

Newcastle sinkhole

Residents have been left horrified after a 20ft sinkhole suddenly opened up on a housing estate built over an abandoned colliery.

The huge crater appeared above old mine workings at Craster Square in the Coxlodge area of Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, just before 11am today.

Dramatic pictures show the sheer size of the deep hole, which stretches the width of the road, and how it has left one lone car stranded on a driveway.

John Kerry: Master of global warming propaganda

John Kerry
John Kerry would probably enjoy hearing that he is a master of propaganda meaning master of the big lie. Joseph Goebbels was born in 1897 and died in 1945. Goebbels was Hitler's Minister of Propaganda and one of the most important and influential people in Nazi Germany. Kerry works for President Obama and it seem like these teams of men have enjoyed lying to people. Goebbels met a nasty end, poisoning his six children, his wife and then himself.

If you tell a lie, tell a big one. The essence of propaganda consists
in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in
the end they succumb to it utterly and can never again escape from it. --Joseph Goebbels

Secretary of State John Kerry says that global warming skeptics should be disqualified from "high public office." French mathematicians, on the other hand, blast the 'absurd, costly & pointless crusade' against global warming. "The figures that are being released are biased and dishonest," says damning paper drawn up by a society of French mathematicians. "(This) crusade is absurd." "You would probably have to go quite a long way back in human...history to find [such a] mad obsession," according to a translated summary of the document released in September by the Paris-based Société de Calcul Mathématique SA.

Whale washes up at Warrnambool beach
The carcass of a young humpback whale has washed up at Levy's Point.

Two Warrnambool residents walking their dog made the discovery on Tuesday evening and reported it to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning on Wednesday afternoon.

Their father, who contacted The Standard, said the whale washed up at the eastern end of the beach, near the rocks.

"It's in a reasonable condition at the moment and is washed fairly high on the sand," he said.

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning confirmed the reports on Wednesday night.

Mystery purple slime coats Norway fjord

Purple Slime
© Roger Larsen/University in TromsøThe slime has been described as "a plague" by local fishermen.
A mysterious purple slime has emerged off the coast of northern Norway, coating millions of cubic meters of a picturesque fjord with a strange mucoid, margarine-like substance.

"We have not been able to find out what this really is, other than that we are talking about large amounts of jellyfish," Roger Larsen, associate professor at the University in Tromsø, told state news broadcaster NRK on Sunday.

"The images we are picking up from the echo sounders and other equipment are totally atypical.

We have tried to gather information to find the answers, but I am absolutely sure that this is something we've never seen before."

Larsen, who has been surveying the emergence of the slime since fishermen first began reporting it in late August, said that the substance had collected in a 200m wide belt around the Lyngen Fjord.

"We are talking about millions of cubic metres," he said.

Black bear pounced on Stas Nagornov as he returned home from the shop in the centre of Amgu village.

His friend Nikita Nikonov said: 'He caught up with Stas first. The bear threw him to the ground, began to trample him, bite him. He grabbed his head, then shoulder and back. I watched - and ran at the bear. I didn't think about myself or what would happen. I just wanted to save my friend.'

Stas, 8, said: 'Nikita ran and saved me. He hit the bear's head with a stone.' This made the bear turn his attention to Nikita, gnawing and clawing him instead.
