Typhoon warnings have been issued for most of Taiwan as Typhoon Matmo (Philippines name: Henry) bears down on the island. Matmo is the third typhoon to threaten the western Pacific Basin in less than three weeks.
Typhoon Matmo is the first typhoon to make landfall in Taiwan this year. As of Tuesday morning (U.S. time), the center of Matmo was about 150 miles south-southeast of Taipei, which is on the far northern part of Taiwan. Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau (CWB) has issued a typhoon warning for the entire main island of Taiwan and the offshore islands of Ludao and Lanyu, southeast of Taiwan.

Taiwan authorities ordered all schools and businesses closed on its east coast Tuesday night, according to Bloomberg.com. The National Fire Agency says 8,000 military personnel have been readied for any needed typhoon-related rescue effort.

Thousands of dead fish wash up on Manresa Beach in Aptos, California

Thousands of dead gray and white fish washed up on the sand of Manresa State Beach in Aptos Friday morning, according to NBC affiliate KSBW.

Monterey Bay marine biologist Giancarlo Thomae told KSBW he thinks the fish died from asphyxia after the fish swam too close to shore.

"When too many are packed inshore, they deplete the oxygen. That is why the Santa Cruz harbor aerates the upper harbor," Thomae said to KSBW.

But a NOAA biologist told KSBW the fish may have been trapped in squid boat nets and dumped by the crew.


Comment: Yet more spurious 'explanations' by ''experts' for this event, while ignoring the larger context of the increase in reports of unusual mass animal deaths that have occurred across the globe in recent years.

Fisherman Caught Rare Blue-Colored Red King Crab in Alaska
A rare blue-colored red king crab was part of a fisherman's catch earlier this month in Nome, Alaska.

KNOM reports Frank McFarland found the blue crab in his pot when fishing on July Fourth off Nome. The blue crab is being kept alive at the Norton Sound Seafood Center until McFarland can have it mounted.

A rare blue-colored red king crab was part of a fisherman's catch earlier this month in Nome, Alaska.
The rare crab has become a rock star of sorts, with people showing up at the center to have their photos taken with it.

Scott Kent, with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in Nome, says he has no idea why the red king crab is blue, but suspects it's just a mutation.

Kent says a blue crab "turns up once in a blue moon."

Residents wade through floods as they go back to their home in suburban Quezon city, north of Manila, Philippines. Typhoon Rammasun killed at least 94 people, forced 530,000 to flee their homes and destroyed 7,000 homes.
The strongest typhoon to hit southern China in four decades has killed at least 16 people in the region after leaving scores dead in the Philippines.

Strong winds and rain from Super Typhoon Rammasun hit dozens of southern coastal cities in the provinces of Guangdong and Hainan and the region of Guangxi, affecting more than 3 million people, the Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported Saturday.

Witness to this natural anomaly were residents of the Urals, where over the last hundred years snow in the middle of the summer has happened only three times. Yesterday, I showed you a video of the Chelyabinsk region where it snowed, which was captured on video recorder car. Today I want to show you some of the most interesting pictures of how it was and how Chelyabinsk was covered with snow in the middle of summer.

Ping pong ball-sized hailstorm hit Ust-Kamenogorsk city in eastern Kazakhstan on July 15, Tengrinews reports citing Yk-news.kz.

People were looking for shelters to hide from the hailstones the size of a quail eggs.

"We built a homemade greenhouse from our old windows, but hailstorm destroyed it," a resident of Mirniy village said looking slightly shocked, "The garden was covered with a 5 cm layer of ice. All our seedling died."

The emergency services are estimating the damage caused by hail that lasted for 7 minutes. The department received around 50 calls during these 7 minutes. People were mostly complaining about damaged cars, metal bodies and windows of more than 30 vehicles were damaged. Several trees fell that day, but fortunately no one was hurt.

Gas-charged earthquakes linked to mysterious Louisiana sinkhole

A giant sinkhole formed overnight in southeast Louisiana on Aug. 3, 2012, swallowing cypress trees. The Bayou Corne sinkhole is now more than 215,000 square feet (20,000 square meters) and about 330 feet (100 m) deep. (Photo taken Aug. 12, 2012)
Surges of gas-charged fluid may have explosively generated the earthquakes preceding a giant sinkhole in Louisiana, researchers say.

These findings could lead to a better understanding of how pressurized fluids can trigger earthquakes and tremors, scientists added.
"Four fracking wastewater wells near Oklahoma City have caused hundreds of earthquakes since 2008, a new study finds."

Fracking connection to Oklahoma City earthquakes
On Aug. 3, 2012, a giant sinkhole formed overnight near Bayou Corne in southeast Louisiana, prompting a declaration of emergency from state officials and evacuation of nearby residents. The sinkhole - filled with a slurry of water, debris and crude oil - swallowed cypress trees, and recent estimates suggest it is now more than 215,000 square feet (20,000 square meters) and about 330 feet (100 m) deep.
