Flash floods wash away cars in Turkish holiday resort of Bodrum

Flash floods wash away cars in Turkish holiday resort of Bodrum
For the second time in 10 days, flood water has surged through the streets of Bodrum. The Turkish city which is the gateway to nearby holiday resorts during the summer is currently a scene of flood damage.

Heavy rainfall swept cars down the streets and left them either submerged or stacked. The downpour was preceded by a waterspout, seen to form under a thunderstorm and drift towards the beach. The following rain went on into the night.

Bodrum Mayor Mehmet Kocadon emphasised that citizens were warned in advance of the heavy rain risk: "It was a very interesting situation. It was like a monsoon rain. ... There are a lot of floods. Bodrum centre, there is a great disaster around. Bodrum is currently experiencing a historical disaster."

Astrophysist Piers Corbyn of WeatherAction long range forecasters and David DuByne of ADAPT 2030 discuss what to expect moving deeper into the Grand Solar Minimum and how much Earth's temperatures will drop from this point forward.
  • Ice increasing off of Antarctica
  • Undersea volcanoes warming coastal ocean waters and the Arctic Circle
  • Earthquakes can be triggered by solar activity
  • Cosmic Ray effects on Earths clouds and atmosphere
  • Electric Geology
  • Pulse water under the ice 9 year cycles
  • Corbyn's work published in a peer-reviewed journal was in the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics (2001)

As much as 53 inches of snow has fallen on Mammoth Mountain, California

Another winter storm is making its way toward Lake Tahoe where nearly 2 feet (61 centimeters) of snow already has fallen at several ski resorts and more than 4 feet (1.2 meters) is reported further south in the highest elevations of the central Sierra along the California-Nevada line.

The National Weather Service says the most recent snowfall Thursday and early Friday totaled about 20 inches (45 cm) at Northstar, Squaw Valley and Mt. Rose on the highway connecting Reno to Lake Tahoe.

As much as 53 inches (134 centimeters) of snow was reported at Mammoth Mountain ski area three hours south of Tahoe.

Precipitation has been mostly in the form of rain in the valleys, including Reno where a record .61 inch of rain fell at the airport Thursday, breaking the old record of .32 set in 2000.


Comment: It looks very likely that the forecast made on the 29th of November for 5 feet of snow to have fallen over the area in the past 3 days (and before the weekend) will actually happen. Perhaps more tellingly this is also before meteorological winter officially starts on the 1st of December (Saturday).

As a series of rainstorms begins moving across the state, officials in areas recently scarred by devastating wildfires are on high alert for potential mudslides and flash flooding.

Riverside County ordered mandatory evacuations in several neighborhoods burned by the Holy fire, including Amorose, Alberhill, Glen Eden, Grace, Matri, Rice and parts of the Glen Ivy, Horsethief, Laguna, McVicker and Withrow neighborhoods.

51 whales dead in another New Zealand stranding - this time on the Chatham Islands

Pilot whales are buried after stranding on the Chatham Islands.

Pilot whales are buried after stranding on the Chatham Islands.
More than 50 pilot whales have died after beaching in New Zealand's Chatham Islands, only days after a massive stranding in the country's south.

As many as 90 of the stranding-prone species came ashore near the township of Owenga overnight, with about 40 refloating themselves, New Zealand's Department of Conservation said on Friday.

Only one of 51 remaining whales was alive by the time conservation staff arrived in the morning.

"There was no likelihood of being able to successfully save the remaining whale," said DOC's Chatham Islands operations manager, Dave Carlton.

"Sadly, the decision was made to euthanise. It was the most humane thing to do. This is always an awful decision to have to make."

Comment: This is the 3rd major mass stranding within a week in the Australasian region, the others being:

28 whales dead in 'inexplicable' beaching in Victoria, Australia

145 stranded pilot whales die on New Zealand beach

Record rainfall hits Turkish city of Edirne, one dead

Flash floods inundated the city late Tuesday and yesterday.

Flash floods inundated the city late Tuesday and yesterday.
The worst rainfall in decades hit Edirne, a Turkish city bordering Greece, late Tuesday, causing floods. An elderly man that went missing in the floods was found dead in floodwaters around his house.

Floodwaters engulfed the city late Tuesday and early yesterday, closing streets to traffic, while traffic on roads connecting Edirne to other cities were barely moving due to high water levels. Homes on the first floors of apartment buildings and the entrance of an emergency room of a hospital were among those sites flooded in the city. Workers struggled to evacuate floodwaters and clear debris yesterday while bulldozers were dispatched around the city to save people trapped in their houses engulfed by floodwaters.

Meteorology experts said it was the worst rainfall since 1953 in the city, citing Edirne received 128.5 kilos of rainwater per square meter in one day.

Wolves, extinct in Germany for most of the 1900s, have made a remarkable comeback since 2000, and their presence often pits farmers against animal rights activists

The controversy resurged this week when a 55-year-old man working at a cemetery in northern Germany told police he was attacked by a wolf.

The man was repairing a fence Tuesday at a cemetery in Steinfeld in the state of Lower Saxony when he felt something bite his hand, Deutsche Welle reported.

He turned and saw a wolf had grabbed his hand. In the distance, he saw three other wolves. He freed himself and shooed away the pack, according to a police statement.

Comment: See in addition these similar and frequently more gruesome reports of attacks from the last 7 years pointing to the fact that wolves appear to have become a greater threat to people in recent times:

They will not even discuss the possibility of cooling even though hundreds of solar researcher's state that we are heading into a cooler climate through 2035. So much bias that we cannot even discuss solutions to real problems even though NASA and the ESA state that the Earth is about to cool. A hard look into the science of grant money and dismissing of alternative idea of solar activity and effects on our planets climate.
