A Swedish city is battling a merciless enemy, rats 'the size of cats', prompting authorities to call on residents to keep doors and windows closed and pre-schoolchildren inside during breaks.

"There aren't the normal rats you see in the forest. They're as big as cats," Benny Sagmo from the planning office of Sundsvall city in northern Sweden, explained to the national TT news agency.

The rats have already spread out towards a residential area, according to Sagmo. "If we don't put a stop to it, they can get bigger and bigger...Those who live there can't even have their front doors or balcony doors open. I've told pest control that we're going all in!" he added.

Flooding sweeps vehicles away
Heavy rain has caused flooding in the states of Tamaulipas, Aguascalientes and Guanajuato in Mexico over the last few days. The deaths of at least 7 people have been blamed on the flooding and severe weather.

Rain associated with a tropical disturbance over the western Gulf of Mexico affected areas of north-eastern Mexico and parts of Texas where as many as 350 people have been rescued from flooded homes and vehicles.

In Tamaulipas state, local media said that 4 people have died as a result of flooding since 20 June. Three of the victims died in separate incidents in Reynosa and one in Matamoros.

The state government said it is delivering aid and relief supplies to affected communities. Local weather observers reported that over a 72 hour period to 21 June, Reynosa recorded 245 mm of rain, Matamoros 180 mm, and Díaz Ordaz 170 mm.

Eruptions just keep going in lower Puna, where more than 500 homes have been destroyed.
Hawaii County authorities say the number of homes confirmed destroyed in ongoing eruptions is now at 614.

Coverage of the Kilauea eruption threatening Puna subdivisions.

The new figure comes amid ongoing eruptions on the Big Island, which have forced thousands from their homes.

Lava fountains from fissure no. 8 continue to feed a channelized flow headed toward the sea, while at least two other fissures are also active.

Comment: The relentless activity seen at Kilauea since it began erupting in May is reflected in the overall increase in seismic and volcanic activity all around the world: For more on the changes occurring on our planet, check out SOTTs' monthly documentary: SOTT Earth Changes Summary - May 2018: Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor Fireballs

Hot foot food
Obligated by synchronicities, Christian delves into the dark agenda behind consumers' shifting perception of 'food' and social engineering involved. As winter slams the Southern Hemisphere, there are echoes of the "freak, unprecedented" failing infrastructure, crops, and loss of life. Crop losses continue globally, and an Italian Meteorologist warns that we may be entering a Mini Ice Age. All of this is, in fact, part of a larger plan - using food scarcity to bring about total control. You can be a part of their plan, or you can make your own plan -- start growing your own food today.

The latest Cyclone Mekunu has turned parts of of the arid Rub’ al-Khali desert, also known as the Empty Quarter, into water lakes, in a rare phenomenon that has not happened in nearly 20 years.
Lakes are now forming in the Rub-al- Khali the largest sand desert on Earth and among the driest places as well. This refilling of long past dried lakes basins and dunes will provide enough food for camel and goat herders for two years with fresh fodder. On Mars the largest dust storm ever recorded is covering the entire planet, its now a 20 day dust storm that is intensifying in our Electric Universe. Strange timing as all of the planets in our solar system will be on one side of the Sun in July and the first week of August 2018.

Hordes of mosquitoes are laying siege to Russia's Voronezh region with many people too scared to go outside amid reports of domestic animal deaths. Authorities are struggling to stop the bloodsucking insects as numbers grow.

Hot weather and record-breaking floods have created ideal conditions for mosquitoes, helping to multiply their population to overwhelming numbers. The insect invasion has affected at least six areas in the Voronezh region.

People are suffering from itchy bites and swelling and say that it's "impossible" to leave their homes. Children are refusing to go to school as they are immediately "eaten alive" by the insects. Even at home people find scant refuge, as the tiny menaces manage to crawl through any crack they can find. Outside is far worse, as roads cannot even be seen through mosquito hordes, according to local media.

Comment: While some creatures numbers appear to be collapsing, other, less loveable creatures seem to be seeing a resurgence:

Butterfly numbers in the UK are in decline

Butterfly numbers in the UK are in decline, and yet again it seems agriculture is to blame. Since 1990, butterfly numbers have declined by 27 per cent in farmland and by 58 per cent in woods, the government report found. The Common Blue (pictured) is one in decline
Butterfly numbers in the UK are in decline due to poor land management, a new report has warned.

Since 1990, butterfly numbers have dropped by 27 per cent in farmland and by 58 per cent in woods, the government study found.

In response to the report, charities have claimed that reform is needed to the country's farming laws in order to protect the environment in the wake of Brexit.

They say the latest figures offer more evidence to support expert predictions of an 'ecological Armageddon'.

The dog that attacked a woman in Calvert County, Maryland, was said to be a Dogo Argentino. Dogs of this breed (shown above in a stock image) can weigh around 100 pounds.
A 28-year-old Maryland woman has died after police said her fiance's dog attacked her Thursday morning.

Jenna Rae Sutphin of Huntingtown, Maryland, was pronounced dead around 5 p.m., Maryland State Police confirmed.

A driver traveling along Maryland Route 4 in Calvert County called 911 around 7 a.m. after seeing an animal attacking something, but couldn't give more details, said Elena Russo of the Maryland State Police.

When the trooper arrived at the overgrown area near the highway, which is adjacent to Sutphin's home, the dog was actively attacking her, police said.

Sources who responded to the scene said that Sutphin was bitten in the back of the head and neck. She was sent to a local hospital and then life-flighted to Medstar Washington Hospital Center. She died Thursday night.

A minke whale is measured near Tiverton, N.S., in February.
The Marine Animal Response Society is seeking help to track down three dead minke whales floating off the coast of northern New Brunswick.

Tonya Wimmer, a marine biologist at Dalhousie University and the director of Marine Animal Response Society, said photos in recent weeks show three dead in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

She said the reports of the dead whales between the Gaspé Peninsula and northern tip of New Brunswick started in early June.

The charitable organization dedicated to marine animal conservation hopes people will report sightings of the dead whales so they can be tracked and brought to shore. That could help determine how they died.
