The death toll in Sujela has risen to 13, with eight bodies recovered, according to PM News Nigeria, following a weekend of heavy flooding.

Eight members of the one family were suspected to have been killed in the disaster, reported Premium Times.

With laws mandated by elected officials but not supported by the populace of Australia for the wind power program which has seen 15% rises in kwH pricing over the last 12 months, what happens when food prices rise 30-50% over the next 12 months? The Australian economy is already on contraction, and when electricity prices rise further and everyone in the country pays more food, which part of the economy will be asking for bail outs first? There is no way people cannot eat. Individuals will find other ways to save more money for rising food costs, which means reducing spending. Look for Australia to be one of the first casualties in the G-20 as a result of grand solar minimum economic losses.

Firefighters battle a wildfire as it threatens to jump a street near Oroville, Calif., on Saturday, July 8, 2017.

Wildfires barreled across the baking landscape of the western U.S. and Canada, destroying a smattering of homes, forcing thousands to flee and temporarily trapping children and counselors at a California campground.

Here's a look at the wildfires blackening the West.

CALIFORNIA

Two major wildfires in California have sent nearly 8,000 people fleeing to safety.

About 4,000 people evacuated and another 7,400 were told to prepare to leave their homes as fire swept through grassy foothills in the Sierra Nevada, about 60 miles north of Sacramento, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said Sunday.

Record rainfall in Paris as summer storms hit France

Mon, 10 Jul 2017 11:35 UTC

A two-hour storm unleashed 54mm (2.1in) of rain on Sunday night in Paris, the equivalent of 27 days of rainfall.

Weather services say 49.2mm fell in one hour, the French capital's heaviest July deluge on record.

Flooding closed 20 metro stations and three were still shut as commuters made their way to work on Monday morning.

Parts of Switzerland were hit by violent winds and hail storms that also caused flooding at the weekend.

Heavy rain began in Paris at 21:00 (19:00 GMT) on Sunday night and Méteo France said the amount that fell was higher than the previous record of 47.4mm set on 2 July 1995. Rain continued to fall heavily on Monday in Paris.

Some areas of the west and around Paris had seen more than a month's average rainfall between Sunday afternoon and 08:00 on Monday, it said.

Earth's temperature cools during June with blockchain smart contracts a solution to crop failures

Dr Roy Spencer has released the June 2017 UAH satellite temperature set, but it shows a 0.23C drop from May 2017 temperatures. This is incredibly strange as the Northern Hemisphere is heading into summer and S. Hemisphere isn't into winter yet, yet record cold sweeps the continents of the southern part of our world. Also a new report out detailing the effects of solar forcing as we enter the grand solar minimum, and its a drop of temperature, TSI, all spectral wavelengths of light and record increases of galactic cosmic rays that will bring the thousand year storm as the common occurrence. I hope you are mentally prepared.

Incredibly the coldest temperature ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere was July 05, 2017 at Summit Station on GREENLAND. Additionally the mass surface ice budget is blowing away all records from the 1981-2010 averages. This was not predicted in the IPCC climate models, but all we still get are stories of microbes being unearthed in melting permafrost that will wipe out humanity. If this were true then the Nomoli figures from Sierra Leone could never have been created 17,000 years ago as it was warmer then and there would have been more microbes released from the permafrost.

June crop losses you are not hearing about

There are so many crop losses happening globally, but the media focuses for less than a millisecond and back on to the next propaganda story. This is a list of losses I have been watching over the last month, Georgia peach crop loss, S.E. USA peach crop loss, fruit losses in USA and Europe, chickpea crop in Canada, frozen corn on the stalks in late June in the Dakotas, frost, hail, wind and drought seem to be the common theme globally this year. Asia and Australia are experiencing losses as well. Watch your food price skyrocket by the end of 2017, and the media will still be asking why instead of covering the effects of the intensifying grand solar minimum.

Rare hailstorm hits the town of Nyahururu, Kenya

Kenyans on Tuesday evening took to social media to celebrate a rare case of snow falling in the East African country.

Photos and videos shared on social media showed whitish substance on the streets of the town of Nyahururu located in the country's Laikipia County.

The Kenyan Meteorological Agency, however, clarified and explained that the incident was a case of rare hail storm and not snow. ''For it to snow temperatures are usually below 0°C," they explained.

The event in Nyahururu is a hail storm. Such storms occurs when there is abrupt convection and rain clouds form too fast.

Sinkhole swallows bus after deluge in Veracruz, Mexico

Transit bus lies in a sinkhole in Veracruz

A massive sinkhole swallowed a public transit bus during heavy rains this morning in the city of Veracruz.

No one was hurt when the bus fell into the big hole while it was parked at the roadside in the Oasis residential area. Four nearby houses were evacuated initially and at least 20 more since because the rain hadn't stopped and the sinkhole was getting larger, said Civil Protection officials.

One said that 125 millimeters of rain fell between 8:00am and 1:00pm today.

Residents of at least 10 other houses in other parts of the city were also evacuated for fear they would collapse due to sinkholes.
