Gigantic Jet is an electrical phenomenon from the upper atmosphere, a rare type of Transient Luminous Event (TLE) that starts as a blue jet from above the storm clouds (~ 20 km altitude) and becomes reddish, extending in some milliseconds to the upper limit of the mesosphere (~ 95 km altitude).

A warning was issued for parts of the Central Coast, Whitsundays, Central Highlands and Coalfield districts, including Rockhampton, Gladstone and Yeppoon, the Bureau of Meteorology said.
Weatherzone said over 180,000 lightning strikes were recorded within a 100km radius of Rockhampton, with over 5000 ground strikes.
"Northern lights danced across the entire northwestern Montana sky early this morning," reports Philip Granrud. "I photographed them with a wide angle lens on top of my car several miles outside of Kalispell."
"It was such a nice break from everything that's been going on in the world lately," he says.
This is the first geomagnetic storm of 2020. In fact, the last time storm levels reached G1 on NOAA Storm Scales was more than a year ago: March 16-17, 2019.
Channel 2 Action News viewer John Westbrook took pictures of a rainbow-colored cloud formation over Holly Springs in Floyd County.
Severe Weather Team 2 Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns explains how the amazing phenomenon, called a "circumhorizontal arc" or a "fire rainbow," happens.
"High clouds made of ice crystals are hit with the angle of the sun, creating the same effect as a prism," Burns said.
The result is a wispy, iridescent cloud formation.

Sunday morning in Sydney looked more like February than the middle of April, as residents woke up to roughly 30 centimetres of snow, being blown about by howling winds.

"I don't even know what to think," says Joseph Rudderham. "I figured we were all done with this, and I started parking trucks up, but now, I've got to bring them out again."

A gray whale washed ashore on the beach of the Sandlake Recreation Area north of Pacific City on April 18, 2020.
Deputies responded after the camp host to Sand Lake Recreation Area discovered the whale had washed ashore overnight.
Biologists from Oregon State University performed an autopsy on the male whale Saturday afternoon.
"By this morning, all victims were found dead. Their bodies were retrieved and laid in state at their homes," Chief of the South Solok District Police Adjunct Senior Commissioner Imam Yulisdianto stated.
The landslide struck at around 5:50 p.m. local time on Saturday while they were manually digging for gold at the mine, he noted.
According to the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), torrential rain fell in the city of Uvira and surrounding areas in South Kivu, from 16 to 17 April 2020.
Officials said the heavy rain caused the Mulongwe river to break its banks in Uvira city. The ensuing floods caused significant material damage. Theo Kassi, governor of the province reported that as of 17 April, at least 3,500 homes had been destroyed. MONUSCO said 15,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed, and 7 bridges damaged or have completely collapsed. Almost 78,000 people are reported to have been left without shelter. Roads have been blocked and drinking water supply cut.
Despite decades of doom-and-gloom prophecies, Greenland's Ice Sheet is currently GAINING monster amounts of "mass" — 27 gigatons over the past 5 days alone (April 14 - 18, 2020).
Crucial to the survival of a glacier is its surface mass balance (SMB) - the difference between accumulation and ablation (sublimation and melting). Changes in mass balance control a glacier's long-term behavior, and are its most sensitive climate indicators.
On the back of substantial SMB gains over the past few years, the Greenland ice sheet looks set to continue that trend in 2019-20. From April 14 through April 18, 2020, the world's largest island added a monster 27+ gigatons to its ice sheet. According to climate alarmists, this simply shouldn't be happening in a warming world. In fact, it might as well not be happening as developments like these NEVER receive MSM attention, meaning alarmists are NEVER privy to the full and unalarming picture...
