A seagull found sick at Huntington State Beach on Thursday, Oct. 10, recovers at the Wetlands and Wildlife Center. The gull was one of 12 found at the beach
A handful of wildlife experts and volunteers responded to a call from a woman walking on the beach, who first saw the numerous dead and dying gulls at around 11 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 10, said Lisa Peronne, wildlife manager at the Huntington Beach-based rehabilitation nonprofit.
When Peronne and her team arrived, she said they found 12 beached Western Gulls on the high tide line mixed up with seaweed. Upon inspecting the birds, eight were dead and the other four were clinging to life, she said.
"When we found them," Peronne said, "we had to pick up each bird to see if they were dead or alive"

White smoke plumes above Metis Shoal observed this week.
White smoke plumes above Metis Shoal observed this week.
The eruption at Matis Shoal, a submarine volcano around halfway between the islands of Kao and Late in Tonga, was first noticed on Tuesday when a pilot with the Real Tonga airline flew over the area and alerted ground control to white columns of steam rising to about 5000 metres elevation.
GeoNet and the Wellington Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre, a department of Metservice, have been monitoring the situation, but say there is currently no risk to flights in the area.
According to the USDA, only 15 percent of all U.S. corn and only 14 percent of all U.S. soybeans had been harvested as of October 6th...

And while vegetation in khasyreis, basins of drained Arctic lakes, is less of a surprise, researchers discovered 'bursts of life' next to a residential settlement where permafrost ice veins were broken when people dug sand pits.

Comment: While it is being documented that permafrost is thawing and methane has been observed bubbling up through a Siberian lake, in the Antarctic summer's have been so cold that it's killing off even the moss, so clearly this isn't global warming but our Earth evidently is changing:

Holl Belle posted the video to her Facebook page, saying it was like something out of a movie.
"Oh my God, look at them all," she says in the video as what appears to be bird carcasses littered around the entrance to the Hall of Fame building.
In the video, Belle speaks with a woman who says she works at the building. She says the birds had been slamming into the building for about an hour.
Comment: Evidently this wasn't a wrong turn that these birds took, they were slamming into the building for "about an hour". Although the reason behind this mass mortality is yet to be discerned, a clue may lie in similar incidents, such as in June this year in Canada, birds were found to be found behaving equally strangely, with investigators concluding it was related to exhaustion and starvation due to the unusually cold weather: High bird deaths likely due to cold weather and starvation in Campbellton, Canada
"We've been having a problem where little birds would fly into our window, into our cars," Anderson said. "Even if the vehicles were parked they'd fly into them, and they'd fly into our fence.See also:

The birds may have encountered bad weather during their migration, causing them to expend their energy reserves. The birds may also have reached their destination only to find a lack of food, which could be the result of cool temperatures.

Tornado damage, Arles
A tornado has torn through the southern French town of Arles, ripping off roofs and throwing caravans onto their sides.
The swaths of destruction on Tuesday left several people injured and forced 60 people to evacuate from a nearby campsite.
Arles, in the Bouches du Rhone, was one area placed on an orange weather alert by Meteo France on Monday, warning residents of the imminent danger of severe storms.

Strong fires spread in different parts of Lebanon forcing some residents to flee their homes in middle of the night as the flames reached residential areas in villages south of Beirut in October 2019.
A heat wave in the region coupled with strong winds intensified the fires that began a day earlier in mostly pine forests around the country and three provinces in neighboring Syria. There were no reports of fatalities from the fires — among the worst to hit Lebanon in years.
Fire crews were overwhelmed by the flames in the Mount Lebanon region early Tuesday, forcing the Interior Ministry to send riot police with engines equipped with water cannons to help. Two small aircraft were sent from the nearby Mediterranean island of Cyprus to help put out the flames.
Heavy rainfall and flooding in the Morogoro region from 12 October, 2019, has left at least 11 people dead.
Local media, quoting police sources, said that the victims include 5 pupils from Nyashiro primary school who were swept away by flood water from Mvuha river in Kibogwa ward. Six other victims were killed by flash floods in different parts of the region.
