A 25-foot grey whale was found dead near Huntington Beach Pier, prompting an investigation. The Pacific Marine Mammal Center is conducting a necropsy to determine the cause of death. The adult female whale, weighing 60,000 pounds, has been cordoned off.

A 25-foot grey whale was found dead on the sand near Tower 7 at Huntington City Beach on Friday, drawing the attention of beachgoers and prompting an investigation into its cause of death. Grey whales are known for their extensive migrations along the Pacific Coast.

The adult female whale, weighing approximately 60,000 pounds, which is typical for the species, has been cordoned off by Huntington Beach Marine Safety while officials decide on the next steps. The Pacific Marine Mammal Center (PMMC) from Laguna Beach responded on Saturday morning and initiated a necropsy to determine the cause of death, according to PMMC CEO Glenn Gray.

The Huntington Beach Fire Department remained on-site Saturday, while city spokesperson Jennifer Carey confirmed that the whale would be buried on Sunday after receiving approval from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and PMMC.

MMMMMMM
Heavy rain, hailstorm and snowfall wreaked havoc in the high-altitude areas of the Dhauladhar hills on Friday evening. Reports confirmed that lightning struck a shepherds' camp near Manai, 20 km north of Baijnath, resulting in the death of around 100 sheep and goats. Fortunately, no human casualties have been reported. Four shepherds, who had taken shelter under a tree, narrowly escaped by jumping down the hillside.

Trilok Kapoor, former Chairman of the State Wool Federation and a leader of the Gaddi community, informed the media that the shepherds had sought cover in the dense forest due to the intense weather. The sudden lightning strike caused heavy loss of livestock, dealing a major blow to the Gaddi community.

In response to the tragedy, the Kangra administration dispatched a rescue team to the site. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu expressed deep sorrow over the incident. He directed Kangra Deputy Commissioner Hem Raj Bairwa to oversee rescue operations and ensure immediate relief to the affected shepherds.

The Chief Minister also instructed the Animal Husbandry Department to assess the livestock loss. Compensation will be provided according to the Himachal Pradesh Natural Calamities Relief Manual once the damage report is received.


Comment: The Free Press Journal reports:
As many as 11 buffaloes reportedly died after being struck by lightning in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district in the wee hours of Sunday.

According to information, the incident occurred in Dhekua village of Shivpuri around 2 am, when the 11 buffaloes of a farmer were in the cowshed.

The lightning struck during heavy rain and storm in several parts of Madhya Pradesh on Saturday. Due to heavy rain and storm in the district, a tree also fell on a mud house of Captain Singh Yadav in Manjari village of Badarwas tehsil.

© Virunga National ParkA dead hippo lies in the water due to anthrax killing the animals in Virunga National Park, Democratic Republic of Congo, in this undated handout picture released April 8, 2025.
At least 50 hippos and other large animals have been killed by anthrax poisoning in Africa's oldest national park, its director has said.

Photos shared by the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo show the motionless animals floating along the Ishasha River. Park officials say they first started appearing last week.

The exact cause of the poisoning is unknown but tests have confirmed the presence of anthrax.

Park director Emmanuel de Merode said work was under way to recover the animals and bury them to prevent further spread, but it was difficult because there were no excavators.

"It's difficult due to lack of access and logistics," he told Reuters news agency.

Climate scam: More non-existent UK weather stations discovered reporting invented data

weather station in Great Britain
© Met OfficeA weather station in Great Britain
Last month the average maximum temperature at Newton Rigg was 11.5°C, the lowest was 3°C, while 23mm of rain fell. Newton Rigg is near Penrith in Cumbria and in its historic database the UK Met Office claims it is an open site and is one of its 380 UK wide temperature measuring stations. This claim is also made in two Met Office lists of site class classification obtained under Freedom of Information (FOI) requests in 2023 and 2024. All of which is rather strange. Newton Rigg closed in 2021 and all the data being published as climate averages are estimated, i.e., invented. The historic database contains 37 stations and seven of the total, no less than 19%, are closed or do not exist. Invented figures are also being supplied for Lowestoft, Cwmystwyth, Nairn Druim, Eastbourne, Oxford and Paisley.

The Met Office claims that monthly data are available for a selection of long-running historic stations and series typically range from 50 to more than 100 years in length. Sunshine data are noted to use a Kipp and Zonen sensor in some sites, while all the others have data recorded by a Campbell-Stokes recorder. All the others, the Met Office omitted to make clear, except those where the figures have been invented for the non-existent stations.
