Flood situation deteriorates in Assam, India - 423,000 people affected with 749 villages under water
According to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), three people were killed in rain and flood-related incidents in Golaghat, Dhemaji and Kamrup Metropolitan district on Wednesday.
The deluge, which had affected 2.5 lakh people in 11 districts on Wednesday, spread to six more districts on Thursday affecting 4.23 lakh people, it said.
The district which have been affected by floods are Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Biswanath, Darrang, Barpeta, Nalbari, Chirang, Golaghat, Majuli, Jorhat, Dibrugarh, Nagaon, Morigaon, Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon, Baksa and Sonitpur.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the flood, which resulted from days of downpour, also brought down nine houses.
"The incident resulted from narrow waterways; the victims were asleep when the rain started, but with the water soaking up the foundations of their buildings, the structures collapsed on them," Sani Bello, a relation of the victims, told NAN on Thursday.
I have never seen that number so high, and southern California is being hit by yet another new earthquake every few moments. Most of the earthquakes are happening out in the Ridgecrest area where we witnessed the magnitude 6.4 earthquake that hit on July 4th and the magnitude 7.1 earthquake that hit on July 5th.
But as you can see from Cal Tech's map, there has been a tremendous amount of seismic activity along the San Andreas fault as well. As I discussed the other day, the San Andreas fault is "locked and loaded" and it is way overdue for "the Big One".
Could it be possible that all of this earthquake activity is leading up to something really big?

The noise was heard around 10.30pm on Thursday last week in places including Epworth, Crowle and Gainsborough.
Some people who heard the noise initially wondered if it had been an explosion or an earthquake.
Some attributed it to a sonic boom - the noise an aircraft makes when it breaks the sound barrier - but the RAF confirmed none of its aircraft would have made the sound in the area at the time it was heard.
It happened on the same day that southern California was hit by a 6.4 magnitude earthquake, the biggest in 20 years, leading some people to believe there could be a connection.

Emergency crews were called to a home at Ancona Drive in Mill Park just after 6.30pm on Wednesday night, after reports of a dog attack.
Officers arrived to find the dog, believed to be an American Staffordshire terrier, still attacking the man in the backyard and so they fired a number of shots at the animal.
It's understood the victim had been using a wheelchair and crutches while he recovered from an injury, but was not in a wheelchair at the time of the attack.

Massive floods have inundated the streets of downtown New Orleans as heavy thunderstorms hit the region on Wednesday.
Local authorities declared a flash flood emergency and urged residents to stay off the roads and look for higher ground.
As torrential rains flooded New Orleans, citizens of the city took to their phone cameras to film the devastating effects of the floods.
What's worse, Brian Tischler told CTV News Edmonton "they were some of the best crops we have ever seen in a very long time."
It was all done in five to 10 minutes. The hail blitz also damaged Tischler's siding and dented his deck.
