A surveillance video has caught a freak moment of a truck turning into a fireball as it gets hit by a lighting while on a road in Canada. Watch this and other shocking videos of recent devastating lighting strikes.

Comment: Despite the fact that a couple of the videos above are probably fakes, it's undeniable that lightning is striking closer to home. For an explanation of this phenomenon, and its place within the plethora of other unusual phenomena being observed within, on, and above the planet, see Pierre Lescaudron's book, Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection, published by Red Pill Press.

When this happens to your truck, you know you're having a really bad day.
A driver doing some errands had a nasty surprise Saturday morning when a sinkhole suddenly opened up beneath the truck he was driving.

The man, an off-duty police officer, had just picked up some garden furniture from an outlet in a office complex on Ambler Dr. As he was making his way out of the parking lot, he drove through what appeared to be a small puddle.

It turned out to be something much worse.

As he drove over it, the ground beneath his wheels gave way, tipping the truck into a five-foot-deep sinkhole that rapidly started filling with water.

The driver managed to get himself out of the truck and nobody was injured.

Police, fire crews and tow trucks were called to try to pull the stricken vehicle out of the hole.

Firefighters on the scene said that a water pipe beneath the surface appeared to have ruptured and caused the sinkhole to form.

They see the snow as "an anomaly" rather than as the beginning of a new Ice Age.

Chile, 06-06-2014: The snow that fell on Route 90 at the entrance of Pichilemu during the afternoon on Friday was "unusual," said La Primera Compañía de Bomberos (the First Fire Company) on its Twitter account

The phenomenon not only surprised the transiting area, but also the Chilean Meteorological Office who listed the snowstorm as an "anomaly".

According to meteorologist Patricio Silva "we had expected snowfall above 1,000 meters, but not in the coastal zone".

'Unheard of in this area' - Volcano-like eruption in Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh triggers panic

Image
A "volcano-like eruption" in Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh triggered panic among the people of the area. Reports said that flames and a hot liquid stream were seen spewing out of a hill 100 m from Gadiyada village. The village is over 200 km from Shimla. State geologists confirmed that the eruption is a 'small magmatic activity'. After the report, a team of Geological Survey of India (GSI) reached the site on Thursday.

Fearing that a bigger eruption could damage their agricultural land and houses, residents of around half a dozen villages in the vicinity of the eruption are anxiously awaiting the final report of GSI team. "Gases and liquids are being emitted from holes in a 10 feet area around the hill where the volcanic activity took place," said Ved Prakash, president of Drang panchayat. He said the eruption, unheard of in this area, caused panic among villagers.


Comment: This seems a bit odd - what exactly is a 'small magmatic activity'? Hopefully, we will find more out about this so-called 'activity'. In the meantime, here is a list of active, dormant, and extinct volcanoes in India.


This is the first time such a volcanic activity has been witnessed in the state. Chief parliamentary secretary Jagjivan Pal in whose Sulah assembly constituency the area falls visited the spot on Tuesday. He said the flames and the hot liquid emanating from the hill had created panic. "Underground temperature in the area has increased manifold and people say that a steel electricity pole had become red hot a couple of days back," he added. Pal said a sulphur-like material and black stone is flowing out from the perimeter of the hill.

Peru's most active volcano is likely to continue its eruptive activity next week with ash emissions and occasional eruptions, government officials have said.The ongoing process of the Ubinos volcano, in south-eastern region of Moquegua, is characterized by major plume of ashes as well as by volcanic gases and explosive activity. The above former activity is expected to generate harmful effects on farming and livestock raising activities in the area, the country's Geological, Mining and Metallurgical Institute (Ingemmet) said.

Likewise, the Peruvian agency announced an overall decrease in the volcano's daily seismic energy and a sharp decline in the number of explosions, lowering from more than 40 to 1 or 2 a day.

Alerts were raised for southern and north-eastern China Saturday after the death toll reached 27 with two missing from this week's heavy rains.

Ten people died in the southern province of Guizhou and nine in the south-western city of Chongqing. Neighboring Sichuan province and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region suffered three deaths each.

The National Meteorological Center warned students taking college entrance exams to leave home early to make sure they arrive on time, as up to 80 millimeters of rain was expected over the weekend in certain regions.

Hail, floods and landslides wreaked havoc across southern areas. The weather bureau also expanded its warnings to include northern provinces of Liaoning and Jilin, as well as the Inner Mongolia autonomous region.

SOTT Exclusive: NASA blowing meteor smoke as noctilucent clouds intensify

NASA is blowing more 'meteor-smoke' in our eyes regarding the year's first (northern hemisphere) appearances of noctilucent clouds (NLCs) on May 24th. NASA outlet spaceweather.com claims:
Seeded by meteor smoke and boosted by the climate-change gas methane, noctilucent clouds have been spreading beyond the Arctic.

June 6th, 2014: Electric-blue NLCs over Bangor, Northern Ireland
Rising methane from below, the alleged exclusive result of human industrial activity, is NOT responsible for noctilucent clouds. Increasing atmospheric methane levels are primarily due to methane being released from deep under the oceans.

Increased NLCs are a 'canary in a coal mine' alright, but not in the way Official Science would have us believe.

Question

Scientists in Australia tagged a healthy 9-foot great white shark as part of program to track these animals. Four months later they found the tracking device washed up on a beach. Something - something really big - had eaten this apex predator. But what creature could dine on such ferocious prey?

The recovered tracking device showed a rapid temperature rise and a sudden 1,900-foot-deep plunge. It stayed there for many days, moving around and occasionally ascending to go down again until it finally reached the shore.

That's all the information that scientists gathered from the tracking device.
