Cherry harvest in Spanish Calderechas Valley severely hit by April frosts - up to 90% lost

frost damage
The cherry production in the Calderechas Valley has been reduced as a result of the severe frosts of the month of April. "The losses in some places amount to around 90% of the production. In a normal year, around 200,000 kilos are harvested, but this year, the total figure will barely exceed the 60,000 kilos," said Eduardo Hernando, technical director of the Calderechas Valley Guarantee Mark.

Despite the lower volume, the price is not expected to increase. The region's lower areas have been the most hit by the frosts of the past few months, and in the high areas, the producers will be able to pick cherries until mid-August.

The heat of recent days hasn't been too much of a concern for the entrepreneurs, as the high temperatures haven't taken a toll on the harvest and the quality of the cherries hasn't been affected.

Possible sinkhole swallows several trucks in Florida near Orlando Airport

Officials are investigating if the trucks fell into a sinkhole or if the fracture in the ground was caused by something else.

Officials are investigating if the trucks fell into a sinkhole or if the fracture in the ground was caused by something else.
Several large trucks ended up swallowed inside what officials believe may be a sinkhole in central Florida early Wednesday.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office said the hole opened up around 1 a.m. on private property along Boggy Creek Road, located near Orlando International Airport.

Deputies arriving at the scene discovered "a large fracture in the ground between two lakes that had collapsed" that is estimated to be at least 30-feet wide.

The Orange County Fire Rescue said on Twitter that several trucks had been swallowed.

An incredible timelapse of satellite footage shows two of Earth's greatest phenomenons, a category-4 hurricane and a solar eclipse, moving across our planet at the same time.

Satellite cameras tracked the magnificent total solar eclipse as it passed over Argentina and Chile on July 2, while also catching a major hurricane as it percolated in the Pacific Ocean.

Photo taken by cellphone on July 3, 2019 shows the tornado in Kaiyuan City, northeast China's Liaoning Province. Six people died and over 190 others were injured.
A rare tornado that hit Kaiyuan, Tieling in Northeast China's Liaoning Province on Wednesday afternoon has killed 6 and injured 120 as of press time.

An industrial zone in the Tiexi district of Kaiyuan was the most severely-hit, with private vehicles upturned and windows in residential compounds shattered. Power in some areas of Tiexi district was also cut by the extreme weather, The Beijing News reported.

Search and rescue work has begun after the local emergency management department received a report that some were stuck under the ruins of factory buildings, the Beijing News said.

Multiple trees were uprooted at a highway in the city, Liaoning local media reported.

Ambulances, firefighters and police have been also dispatched.



Comment: Other rare, unseasonal and very large tornadoes have formed around the planet in recent times including: Study: Tornado outbreaks are increasing - but scientists don't understand why. A coauthor of this paper states "What's pushing this rise in extreme outbreaks is far from obvious in the present state of climate science."

A couple of years ago other climate scientists were saying hurricane Harvey "should serve as a warning", as they continue to push the man-made climate change/global warming lie. They are not considering the importance of atmospheric dust loading and the winning Electric Universe model in their research.

Such information and much more, are explained in the book Earth Changes and the Human Cosmic Connection by Pierre Lescaudron and Laura Knight-Jadczyk.
The accumulation of cometary dust in the Earth's atmosphere plays an important role in the increase of tornadoes, cyclones, hurricanes and their associated rainfalls, snowfalls and lightning. To understand this mechanism we must first take into account the electric nature of hurricanes, tornadoes and cyclones, which are actually manifestations of the same electric phenomenon at different scales or levels of power.

Snow and cold cause problems in Northwest Norway.

2 July 2019 - The mountain passes over Sognefjellet and Strynefjellet are closed until Wednesday due to snow and cold.

We do not want tourists with a motorhome to remain up there late at night, says traffic operator Morten Hansen in the Road Traffic Center to Bergens Tidende. Hansen adds that the roads are not salted in July.

Old Strynefjellsvegen in Oppland, county road 258, is closed due to difficult driving conditions.

County Road 55 over Sognefjellet will be closed Tuesday night, but the Norwegian Public Roads Administration warns that the road can be closed at short notice if necessary.

Hailstorms hit Rhône valley in France resulting in 30-40% fewer apricots

APRICOTS
Hail storms in the Rhône area in France have caused significant damage to apricots. This is according to Theo Kampschoer of Kampexport. This company has a branch in La Grande Motte, France.

"We had a lot of bad weather about ten days ago. I heard of a walnut farmer in the area who had thousands of his trees blown over. They were thick, 40-year-old trees," Theo says.

"You should see what is happening with the apricots. In the Rhône valley, you can write off 30-40% of the apricot harvest. And that is a large area. About half of the Bergeron apricots are grown there."

One person has been killed as a huge volcanic eruption rocked the small Italian island of Stromboli, near Sicily, sending tourists fleeing in fear for their lives.

Columns of black smoke continue to billow from the volcano in the wake of the sudden activity, which alarmed some island visitors so much that they fled into the sea, according to Italy's ANSA news agency.

Eyewitnesses in nearby Sicily, as well as on the mainland, have been posting photos and videos of the eruption and aftermath on Twitter.
