Snow covers a dock in Villa La Angostura in southern Argentina, Monday, July 17, 2017. The National Meteorological Service says that the cold front comes all the way from the South Pole.

Officials say cold weather and freezing temperatures from a polar wave have killed two people in Argentina.

The victims are a 54-year-old homeless man in the seaside resort city of Mar del Plata and a 41-year-old man living in a shack in Santa Fe province. Officials said Monday that both died of hypothermia.

The National Meteorological Service says the cold front comes all the way from the South Pole and is hitting Argentina's center and northern regions particularly hard. Temperatures in those areas have reached as low as 19.4 Fahrenheit (-7 Celsius).

An absolute record of -13.7 Fahrenheit (-25.4 Celsius) was also registered in the Patagonian ski resort of Bariloche.

Flights were delayed or canceled there as the airport was temporarily closed due to weather conditions.

Comment: In neighboring Chile 280,000 people lost power this week as extremely cold weather there brought snow to Santiago for the first time in 20 years.

Earthquake data is provided by the U.S. Geological Survey.

A massive 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck between Russia and Alaska Monday evening, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The earthquake occurred at 7:34 p.m. EDT approximately 124 miles east-southeast of Nikol'skoye, Russia, off the coast of Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, at a depth of 7.3 miles.

This quake was followed by several aftershocks, some of which were greater than 5.0 magnitude.

A tsunami of 0.3 feet (3.6 inches) above the tide level was observed on Shemya Island, Alaska, in the Aleutian Islands. However, the tsunami threat has now passed, and the previously issued tsunami advisory for the Aleutian Islands is no longer in effect.

Originally, the USGS estimated the earthquake as a 7.4 magnitude but quickly revised it to 7.7.

This is currently the second strongest earthquake of 2017. A 7.9 magnitude quake in Papua New Guinea on Jan. 22 was the strongest so far this year.

Temperature trend stalls, clouds and volcanic particulate overwhelm new climate model

The new Community Earth System Model (CESM) put out such un-believable results in global weather pattern changes affecting crops and rainfall, where in quotes 'Things went wrong" as a description to what was produced as a result. The model was scrapped until "fixes" are added. I want to see the results as I think the particulate forcing that shocked the modelers was how quickly this will occur and what implications it has for crop yields globally based on volcanic dust and more clouds because of a 19% increase over the next solar cycle. Is this why they took it off line?

Firenado filmed swirling over wildfire near Amarillo, Texas

A firenado was caught on camera swirling flames high up into the sky at the edge of a raging wildfire in Texas.

The firenado - aka a fire tornado or fire whirl - was recorded Thursday at the edge of a wildlife in Amarillo, Texas.

Experts said the phenomenon is caused when strong winds pass through large fires. A pair of YouTubers showed how firenados are formed by using a circle of fans to create an artificial fire whirl and filming it in slow motion.

Thursday's wildlife took place in a grassy farmland area with a low population and few structures in danger from the flames. The fire, located near Rick Husband Airport, was brought under control Thursday with no injuries or lost structures reported.

Meanwhile, the US Geological Survey (USGS) reported that a 6.2-magnitude tremor struck 183 kilometers (113 miles) south-east of Nikolskoye, Kamchatka region at a depth of 7.9 kilometers (4.9 miles).

Dog attacks have increased by 57% in Australia since 2003

Dog attacks in Australia are increasing, with more than 2000 people seriously injured every year.

The sharp rise in dog attacks is leaving children with horrific facial injuries and comes despite crackdowns on dangerous breeds. New research reveals that since 2003 the rate of dog attacks has increased by 57 per cent.

The Menzies Institute for Medical Research at the University of Tasmania found dog attacks hospitalised 31,218 people in 12 years with children injured at twice the rate of adults.

"Legislation has been introduced to restrict ownership of dangerous breeds in Australia yet rates of dog bites have increased," Associate Professor Leigh Blizzard said.

Prof Blizzard warned underreporting masked the true extent of the problem.

"People are trying to avoid being investigated because their beloved pooch has bitten the baby," he said. NSW had the lowest rates of dog attacks.

Two vehicles were swept away in the Midah Ria flat landslip in Taman Midah, Cheras.

A major landslide occurred at the Midah Ria Flats in Taman Midah, Cheras here this morning, leading to the collapse of a section of the parking area.

Two cars parked in the lot plunged along with other debris and landed in a monsoon drain about 100 metres away.

No one was hurt in the landslide.

The Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department was alerted to the incident by a distress call at 6:45am.

Its senior officer Shaharudin Abdul Wahid said that the landslide may have been caused by excessive underground water flow.
