Attention

Volcano erupts in Costa Rica, prompting park closure

Volcano erupts
The eruption Monday of Poás Volcano in Costa Rica has prompted officials to temporarily close the popular tourist attraction because of a "high probability" of more eruptions.

The dawn eruption, captured on video by the Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica (OVSICORI), sent a column of ash more than a mile above the 8,885-foot volcano.

Poás Volcano National Park, located 29 miles northwest of the Costa Rican capital of San Jose, remained closed Tuesday and a reopening date had not been announced at the time of this post.

Papua New Guinea's volatile Ulawun volcano erupted early on Tuesday, sending a column of red lava shooting up into the sky and forcing the evacuation of recently returned residents.

Mount Ulawun, situated on the remote Bismarck Archipelago chain, displaced between 7 000 and 13 000 people from their homes when it last erupted in June.

Seismic activity started at midday on Monday before the volcano erupted at about 04:30 on Tuesday, according to Rabaul Volcano Observatory assistant director Ima Itikarai.

"It was noiseless and in the dark just before dawn; the eruption was visible (with) a distinct shard (of) red incandescent glow shooting up less than 100m from the base," he told AFP.

A 3-year-old boy was killed Tuesday morning after being attacked by two family dogs at a home in Louisville's Newburg neighborhood, police say.

Officers responded to the 4800 block of Brenda Drive just after 9 a.m. Tuesday, according to Louisville Metro Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell.

The 3-year-old boy suffered fatal injuries in the attack, Mitchell said.

According to 911 audio, the child had reportedly fallen out of a window into his family's yard, where the family's two Rottweilers attacked the child.

The dogs were taken away by Louisville Metro Animal Services, Mitchell said. A spokesperson for the animal services agency confirmed the department had been on the scene and said animals involved in incidents such as this one are placed in quarantine.

Torrential rains have swept across the UK bringing floods, closing roads and railways, and leading to some places being evacuated.

Dozens of flood warnings had been issued and some areas in the Midlands, Wales and southern England were hit by a week's rain in just an hour.

On the Isle of Man, a major incident was declared as floodwaters trapped people in their homes.

Further heavy rain and high winds are expected on Thursday.

The Environment Agency issued dozens of flood warnings and alerts across England, while the Met Office issued a yellow warning for heavy rain that could cause power cuts, road closures and flooding.

The warning is in place until 20:00 BST across large parts of central and southern England, and Wales.

In Cornwall, floods caused by a coastal surge meant people were told to leave caravans and seaside properties in the morning and not to return until it is safe to do so.

Iceberg the size of London calves off Antarctica - Caused by a glacier EXPANDING, not melting

An iceberg the size of greater London (1,636 km2) has just snapped off the Amery ice shelf in east Antarctica. And while alarmists will be blindly clamoring to link the event to global warming, the facts tell an entirely different story.

Ice shelves are essentially floating extensions of glaciers that hold back the flow of ground ice.

When an iceberg breaks off an ice sheet it is known as 'calving'.

Calving is a form of ice ablation or ice disruption, and is caused by a glacier EXPANDING, not melting.

Kelly Brunt, a glaciologist with Nasa and the University of Maryland, explained "the process of formation was a bit like a fingernail growing too long and cracking off at the end."

Lilbourn, Missouri is currently hit by a swarm of earthquakes
An area of southeast Missouri experienced five earthquakes in less than hour Monday morning, experts say.

It started with a 2.6 magnitude temblor around 11:18 a.m. near Lilbourn, a small city just north of Missouri's boot heel, according to the United States Geological Survey. A mere three minutes later, a 1.1 magnitude quake rumbled nearby.

Just before 11:30 a.m., a 2.7 magnitude quake rattled southwest of Lilbourn followed by a 1.8 magnitude quake only five minutes later, the USGS says.

It would be 23 minutes before the next quake, another magnitude 2.7, shook an area just west of Lilbourn, the USGS says.

All five quakes happened within a 40-minute window.
