A landslide destroyed a road in northern Norway

The instability near Alta continues, as a second landslide takes out a road. The area is sealed off pending an investigation.

The shocking images and video of Wednesday's landslide in northern Norway made headlines around the world. Eight houses were taken into the sea by the powerful landslide measuring 650 metres wide, a few miles west of Alta. Thankfully, no-one was killed or injured.

A second landslide

Now, the nearby road has collapsed in a second significant movement of the earth. Local police said the landslide was "significant". It is estimated at 30-40 metres high and about 50 metres in diameter.

There was no traffic on the road, the old E6, as it has been closed since Wednesday's landslide. However, the police confirmed that no houses, buildings or people were involved in this latest landslide.

Nevertheless, the images will cause concern for those living nearby or in other vulnerable areas across northern Norway.

Tens of thousands without power after rare derecho hits Wyoming and Colorado

Tree damage in Evergreen from Saturday’s derecho

A derecho packing winds in excess of 75 mph moved across Wyoming and Colorado Saturday, damaging homes and knocking down trees and power lines.

The storms produced several hurricane-force wind gusts, including a 110 mph gust in Winter Park, Colorado, according to the National Weather Service. Winds up to 99 mph were reported in Great Divide, Colorado, and 81 mph in Rock Springs, Wyoming. A 78 mph wind gust was reported at Denver International Airport.

Enough significant wind gusts were recorded on Saturday that a record was set for most significant wind gusts in one calendar day.

The derecho, a strong line of thunderstorms that produces hundreds of miles of straight-line wind damage, developed in far eastern Utah Saturday morning, then raced northeastward across Colorado and Wyoming into the western Dakotas and western Nebraska during the afternoon and evening hours, a track of at least 750 miles in about 12 hours, according to Elizabeth Leitman, a meteorologist with NOAA's Storm Prediction Center.

The line of storms formed on the southern flank of a developing low pressure system over the northern Rockies and southwestern Canada.

Comment: Another rare derecho killed three and cut power to half a million people across Pennsylvania and New Jersey last Wednesday.

Adapt 2030 Ice Age Report: Who gets what when supply chains breakdown

Decisions need to be made when there are not enough resources to go around through the shrinking supply chain. Labor shortages and unharvested crops mean out of season crops will not be available leading to a "hunger gap" of seasonal availability. Tunisia on par to smash record crop yields in 2020 with a history of asset bubbles.

Comment: The coronavirus crisis, in addition to earth changes affecting crop growth, and the losing value of currency which is set to get much worse in Western nations in particular, have made the production, availability, purchasing and distribution of food - a MAJOR global issue the likes of which we haven't seen in generations.

Storm Cristobal: Tornado hits Florida as US Gulf Coast braces for battering from tropical rains

The storm has already wreaked havoc in Mexico

The US Gulf coast is bracing to be battered by a powerful tropical storm and tornados.

Rain pounded the region on Sunday ahead of the arrival of Tropical Storm Cristobal, which has already spawned a tornado in Florida and threatened more twisters along with high winds and storm surge.

Roads flooded in coastal Louisiana and Mississippi, and thousands were without power even before the storm made landfall.

Forecasters warned the storm would affect a wide area stretching roughly 180 miles (290 kilometres) east into Florida and would arrive late on Sunday, but they do not expect it to grow into a hurricane.
