Strong aftershocks rippled through Chile on Thursday after a magnitude 8.3 earthquake that killed at least ten people and slammed powerful waves into coastal towns, forcing more than a million people from their homes.
Residents sifted through the rubble of destroyed buildings in central Chile on Thursday after a magnitude 8.3 earthquake killed 11 people and sent powerful waves barreling into coastal areas, forcing more than 1 million people from their homes.

Aftershocks shook the South American country following Wednesday's quake, the strongest in the world this year and the biggest to hit Chile since 2010. But some residents expressed relief that the destruction had not been greater.

In the northern port city of Coquimbo, where waves of up to 4.5 meters (15 feet) slammed into the shore, large fishing boats washed up onto the streets and others splintered, littering the bay with debris.

"Everything is a mess. It was a disaster, a total loss. Bottles and glasses shattered and the pipes in the bathroom and kitchen burst," said restaurant owner Melisa Pinones in the inland city of Illapel, near the epicenter.

Question

Earthquake lights? Mysterious cloud filmed above Costa Rica

mysterious cloud over costa rica

On September 15, 2015 witness filmed a very strange cloud phenomenon above Costa Rica at about 3.00 pm local time. We may wonder whether this strange cloud is just a natural phenomenon or a so-called earthquake light or there's more than our eyes can see?

Earthquake lights are reported to appear while an earthquake is occurring, although there are reports of lights before or after earthquakes.

They are reported to have different shapes with a white to bluish hue, but occasionally they have been reported having a wider color spectrum.


Comment: There has been significant seismic activity this week, including the huge 8.3 magnitude earthquake which struck off Chile. Could this bizarre cloud formation be an 'earthquake light' or 'plasma discharge' of sorts?

In the chapter, Earth 'opening up', in Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection, Pierre Lescaudron discusses various factors pertaining to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, including the Earth's minute slowdown exerting mechanical stress on the crust and electromagnetism.
Precursors that indicate alerts of this potential rise also include increases in: low frequency electromagnetic emission, magnetic field anomalies, earthquake lights from ridges and mountain tops, temperature anomalies over wide areas and changes in plasma density of the ionosphere
As seismic and volcanic activity increases across the planet, such 'earthquake lights' and plasma discharges will likely become more common. For a recent probable plasma (not HAARP - see articles below) discharge activity, check out this youtube video (contains some strong language) published on June 12, 2015 which happened in Greenwood, Indiana USA.

A sudden storm has sprung a surprise on coastal areas of New South Wales, blanketing the area in huge hailstones.

The wintry weather returned around lunchtime on Thursday - just a day after the temperature hit the high 20s - when the Bureau of Meteorology warned of severe thunderstorms producing large hailstones, heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding, and damaging winds.

Soon, people from areas stretching from Coffs Harbour on the north coast through to Port Macquarie, Newcastle in the Hunter region and the central coast, posted pictures of the hailstones.

The storms appeared to pass almost as quickly as they appeared, though the bureau said at 12.25pm a more general warning remained in place for for the mid north coast and parts of the northern rivers and Hunter areas.

Shaking all over! Magnitude-4.8 earthquake detected in waters near Warrnambool, Australia

A magnitude-4.8 earthquake has been detected in waters off Victoria's south-west coast, Geoscience Australia says.

It happened about 150 kilometres from the town of Warrnambool at 12:45pm and was also felt on King Island in Bass Strait.

The Bureau of Meteorology said no tsunami warning had been issued while Geoscience Australia said there were no reports of damage.

Seismologist Hugh Glanville said it was unlikely the tremor was triggered by a powerful quake that hit Chile just hours earlier.

"There is always a remote possibility that big earthquakes could trigger off smaller earthquakes in other parts of the world," he said.

"If an earthquake was about to happen and then the shaking from a really big earthquake gave it a little push, that could push it over the edge, but it's really hard to determine.

Major flooding brought by torrential rain hit parts of Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, yesterday 16 September, 2015.

In a statement issued late yesterday, the government confirmed that 4 people have been killed in the floods and many left injured The situation is considered so dire that the government have requested all but essential workers to remain at home today, 17 September 2015.

Homeless

The government said that many have been left homeless by the flooding. The government said that Siaka Stevens stadium, Attouga stadium and the open field at ferry junction have been prepared as emergency settlements for those displaced by the floods.

The flooding has devastated several settlements around the capital. Flood water is said to be over 1 metre deep in many places. Many local observers in Freetown are saying this is some of the is the worst destruction and devastation they have seen in recent years.

One of the worst hit areas is Kroo Bay. Via his Twitter feed, Sierra Leone journalist, Umaru Fofana, said:
"Terrible what I just saw. Just emerged from Kroo Bay - Sierra Leone's largest slum - which is completely inundated".
The video below was posted on Facebook yesterday and is thought to be of the devastation brought by the flooding in Kroo Bay, Sierra Leone.

Drone film gives terrifying glimpse of growing sinkhole in northeast Russia

Northeast Russia's apocalyptic sinkhole that has swallowed up everything above it keeps growing bigger. A RUPTLY drone has provided a better picture of the scale of damage.

The city of Solikamsk was first hit by the disaster in November 2014. Then, it was a modest 30 meters (98 feet) wide in diameter. But it's since grown to a whopping 125 meters, causing increasing damage to its rural surroundings.

And the sinkhole shows no sign of a slowing appetite, as the collapsing soil keeps sucking up nearby houses. It is estimated to be about 75 meters deep, and can already be seen from space.

It's thought the gaping hole emerged following underground floods at Solikamsk-2's mine, owned by the world's number one potash producer, Uralkali.

The crater's origin is different from the natural phenomenon that is behind the craters in northern regions of Siberia, which have recently stunned scientists. Craters in permafrost regions are linked to the process of erosion and gas hydrates in the soil, which leads to underground explosions.

One person was killed while six others were injured on Wednesday afternoon when a lightning struck a hut in Banrangay Calicuang in Dingle town in Iloilo.

The lone fatality was identified as Jojo Arban of Lemery town in Iloilo who went to the farm to work as a laborer.

Wounded were Roland Tuazon, 34; Reyland Teñeso, 28; and Herminildo Tamayo, 55 all of Barangay Tanghawan in Dingle; Reymund Daraug, 22 of Barangay San Jose, Dingle; Ninoy Narciso, 25 of Daraug Street in Dingle and Danny Dusaran, 36 of Barotac Viejo town.

The victims took shelter in the middle of a farm to take shelter from the heavy rain about 3 p.m. Suddenly, they heard a loud explosion and were thrown out of the hut.

"We were having shelter at the hut when we heard a huge explosion and we felt our bodies were trembling and the hut was shaking," Tuazon said in Hiligaynon.

Arban, the lone fatality, fell in the canal.

​The survivors were confined at Iloilo Provincial Hospital in Pototan town. They complained of body aches and dizziness.

Half of ocean life has died out within the past 45 years says study

Overfishing and other similar threats have caused the number of fish and animals in the ocean to have halved since 1970 with conservation group WWF calling the situation 'critical'.

Not only fish are dying out: The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) study tracked the populations of some 1,234 species, such as seals, turtles, dolphins and sharks.

"There is a massive, massive decrease in species which are critical," said Marco Lambertini, director general of WWF International.

When it comes to dinner staples such as tuna or mackerel, populations have fallen by a shocking 75 percent since the seventies, according to a study by the WWF and the Zoological Society of London (ZSL).

Unfortunately all the threats are man-made. The study claims that the global fishing fleet is too big, and between $14bn and $35bn go into supporting it every year.

Comment: There may be more going on here than than just over-fishing and pollution. The Sixth Extinction and grander cosmic phenomenon need consideration as well.
