Science media now showing changes in Earth's atmosphere are connected and cyclical, especially that more and more reports out are focused on extreme floods. This is the drip feed to tell you that the intensification of the Grand Solar Minimum will continue. Rare tornadoes in three parts of the world in the same week, five foot hail in Mexico, massive floods in Mali desert west Africa and flood maps being changes in cities across the planet to look at the once in a 500 year flood for insurers.

The Climate Revolution is a 'Must Read' for understanding our Sun driven climate as we progress deeper into the new Eddy Grand Solar Minimum. Weather extremes leading to Global food scarcity and high food prices are here now, and this book describes the expected changes, how to survive & thrive during future challenging times with practical preparations.

Tornado hits Kaiyuan City, China

A rare tornado that hit Kaiyuan, Tieling in Northeast China's Liaoning Province on Wednesday afternoon has killed 6 and injured 120 as of press time.

An industrial zone in the Tiexi district of Kaiyuan was the most severely-hit, with private vehicles upturned and windows in residential compounds shattered. Power in some areas of Tiexi district was also cut by the extreme weather, The Beijing News reported.

Search and rescue work has begun after the local emergency management department received a report that some were stuck under the ruins of factory buildings, the Beijing News said.

Multiple trees were uprooted at a highway in the city, Liaoning local media reported.

Ambulances, firefighters and police have been also dispatched.



Comment: Other rare, unseasonal and very large tornadoes have formed around the planet in recent times including: Study: Tornado outbreaks are increasing - but scientists don't understand why. A coauthor of this paper states "What's pushing this rise in extreme outbreaks is far from obvious in the present state of climate science."

A couple of years ago other climate scientists were saying hurricane Harvey "should serve as a warning", as they continue to push the man-made climate change/global warming lie. They are not considering the importance of atmospheric dust loading and the winning Electric Universe model in their research.

Such information and much more, are explained in the book Earth Changes and the Human Cosmic Connection by Pierre Lescaudron and Laura Knight-Jadczyk.
The accumulation of cometary dust in the Earth's atmosphere plays an important role in the increase of tornadoes, cyclones, hurricanes and their associated rainfalls, snowfalls and lightning. To understand this mechanism we must first take into account the electric nature of hurricanes, tornadoes and cyclones, which are actually manifestations of the same electric phenomenon at different scales or levels of power.

APRICOTS
Hail storms in the Rhône area in France have caused significant damage to apricots. This is according to Theo Kampschoer of Kampexport. This company has a branch in La Grande Motte, France.

"We had a lot of bad weather about ten days ago. I heard of a walnut farmer in the area who had thousands of his trees blown over. They were thick, 40-year-old trees," Theo says.

"You should see what is happening with the apricots. In the Rhône valley, you can write off 30-40% of the apricot harvest. And that is a large area. About half of the Bergeron apricots are grown there."

Shocking new photos have revealed the devastating aftermath of a cold-season tornado that ripped through a Victoria town on Saturday.

The Bureau of Meteorology confirmed the damage was brought on by a winter tornado, also known as a 'coldie', caused by cold fronts coming from the Southern Ocean.

The windstorms differ from normal tornadoes because they are less intense, usually move at 50 to 80kmh and only last ten to 30 minutes.

Saturday's coldie measured at least EF2 intensity on the Enhance Fujita scale - meaning it caused 'considerable damage' and saw wind gusts in excess of 200km/h.

The storm tore through Axe Creek residents Wayne and Rachel Eve's property, leaving behind only a pile of debris where their home once stood.

'A house was flattened, big trees were snapped in half and debris flung in multiple directions. We're glad everyone is safe,' the Bureau of Meteorology said in a statement on Tuesday.

While Australia usually experiences around 30 to 50 tornadoes per year in remote areas, the BoM said it was 'unusual' to see such a strong tornado hit at this time of year.
