Over 800 earthquakes have now been recorded at Yellowstone supervolcano over the last two weeks, with the ongoing swarm taking place on the western edge of the National Park. But there is virtually no risk of the volcano erupting, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) currently lists the volcano alert level as normal and the aviation color, which lists the potential risk to fights, is at green.

The current earthquake swarm began on June 12. A week later, the USGS put out a statement to say that 464 earthquakes had been recorded, with the largest being magnitude 4.4 "This is the highest number of earthquakes at Yellowstone within a single week in the past five years," it said.

At the time, a spokesperson for the USGS told Newsweek appeared to be "slowly winding down," adding that "no other geological activity has been detected." However, in a newly released statement about the ongoing swarm, seismologists from the University of Utah said 878 events have now been recorded at Yellowstone National Park.

Series of over 40 earthquakes registered north of Iceland

Iceland Monitor
Tue, 27 Jun 2017 13:35 UTC

There were over 40 earthquakes at Kolbeinseyjahryggur north of Iceland yesterday.

There has been a series of earthquakes 230 km north of Iceland since last night. There have been over 40 small earthquakes and two have been measured over 4 on the Richter scale.

"There are no sings of an eruption. The series of earthquakes seems to be connected to the tectonic plates," says Einar Hjörleifsson from Iceland Met Office. The earthquakes originate on the borders of the American and the Eurasian tectonic plates.

"Kolbeinseyjarhryggur [where the earthquakes originate] is located where two tectonic plates meet. Series of earthquakes aren't unusual, though they were many and some of them large all at the same time."

An emergency operation is under way to restore the collapsed road.

A big sinkhole swallowed a road in Ulsan early Sunday. There were no reports of injuries or major property damage.

The sinkhole was reported about 30 minutes past midnight, according to Ulsan police and fire authorities. The hole was six meters wide and two meters deep.

An emergency operation is under way to restore the site. Ulsan officials said water leaking from a buried sewer pipe had washed away underground soil.

A woman was left brain dead after being attacked by two dogs near Bozeman on Saturday morning.

Gallatin County Sheriff Brian Gootkin said the attack happened around 8 a.m. Saturday at 5499 Love Lane. Two dogs were involved, one of them a pit bull, he said.

The victim, 65-year-old Melissa Barnes, was initially attacked by the pit bull, Gootkin said, and the second dog followed suit. Barnes was flown to a Billings hospital for treatment and declared brain dead on Sunday, the sheriff said.

Both dogs were euthanized voluntarily by their owners, Gootkin said. The dogs, neither of which had up-to-date vaccinations, were then taken to the Montana Department of Livestock's Veterinary Diagnostic Lab in Bozeman to be tested for rabies.

A pack of stray dogs mauled a 7-year-old boy in Shamirpet on Monday. The boy succumbed to the injuries later in the day. The incident happened as the child's father and some locals were offering Id prayers at a mosque.

The boy, Mohammed Farooq, accompanied his father to a mosque. After being inside for a while, he came out to play when he was attacked by a pack of dogs, Sub-Inspector M. Jagender, said. The boy could not be rescued from the dogs immediately as the adults were inside the mosque and unaware of the incident outside. Later, when the badly injured boy was noticed, the locals rushed him to a private hospital and later to Niloufer Hospital in the city. The child died while being treated.

"At least five dogs attacked the boy and tore him apart. He had suffered grievous injuries," the police official said. A case was registered under Section 174 of CrPC.

Two tornadoes and a 75-mph microburst were in New Jersey this week, the National Weather Service has confirmed

Those bursts of high-speed winds that knocked over trees were as bad as you thought. In fact, two of them were actually tornadoes.

Two tornadoes and a 75-mph microburst were in New Jersey this week, the National Weather Service has confirmed. Both left destruction in their paths.

The weather service said the first tornado was the one seen in the now widely circulated video taken by Brett M. Dzadik at a Home Depot in Howell. That tornado touched down at 7:21 a.m., had wind speeds of up to 75 mph and a path of about 40 yards wide for about a half-mile, the service said.

The second tornado touched down at 7:27 a.m. and also had maximum winds of 75 mph, the weather service said. That tornado caused the damage seen at Oak Glen Park, also in Howell, and traveled about three-tenths of a mile with a path about 25 yards wide, the service said.

Comment: On average the Garden State has two tornadoes annually in the past 20 years, said Sarah Johnson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Mt. Holly office.

Hurricane Dora on Monday became the first official storm of the 2017 hurricane season, which started in mid-May and runs through the end of November. Dora is swirling southwest of Mexico in the Pacific Ocean.

The National Hurricane Center said Dora became the first hurricane of the 2017 season when it formed early Monday, and is expected to produce heavy rains and potentially life-threatening conditions.

The NHC said Hurricane Dora, which has maximum sustained winds of 90 mph, is about 225 miles southwest of Puerto Vallarta.

The NHC said in its Monday afternoon advisory that the storm system is moving west-northwest -- further out into the Pacific Ocean -- at a speed of 13 mph.

The report added that rainstorms killed three people and injured 47.

Disaster management committee spokesman Keo Vy said more than 130 people died and nearly 300 were injured in accidents caused by natural disasters across the country last year.
