A man who was struck by lightning while working on a roof Thursday afternoon in eastern Kansas City has died, a relative told The Star.

Leonel Sanchez, 23, and another man fell from a roof at a residence near 49th Street and Raymond Avenue. They were taken to a hospital.

Another roofer called Sanchez's cousin, Martin Contreras, and the cousin's girlfriend, Lizeth Garcia, to tell them that Sanchez was dead, Garcia said in a phone interview on Friday.

Sanchez had been in the U.S. for about seven months and was planning to return to his hometown of Tierra Nueva in central Mexico, Garcia said. He lived and worked with Contreras in Springdale, Ark., before relocating to Kansas City to work with some other cousins.

Doubly rare event only sixth tornado recorded in Park County

A tornado has touched down at the edge of a high-elevation wildfire in Colorado, a doubly rare event that apparently caused no damage and had little effect on the fire.

The National Weather Service says the twister touched down at about 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Park County south of Fairplay, a central Colorado town about 10,000 feet above sea level.

National Weather Service meteorologist Russell Danielson says the tornado appeared to be near or on the edge of a wildfire that has burned about 17 square miles.

Danielson says tornadoes are rare at that elevation and rare at any wildfire.


Comment: Other rare or unseasonal tornadoes have formed around the planet in recent times including countries such as Germany, Austria, South Africa, Turkey, Netherlands, Mexico, United States, Russia and China.

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."

Recently 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.
Increasing cometary and volcanic dust loading of the atmosphere (one indicator is the intensification of noctilucent clouds we are witnessing) is accentuating electric charge build-up, whereby we can expect to observe more extreme weather and planetary upheaval as well as awesome light shows and other related mysterious phenomena.

An employee at the club said the lightning hit the tree and then the man, who was trying to get into the rec center and had an umbrella up.. The fire official also said that the man was under a tree when the lightning hit.

A Florida woman captured video of a rare sight off the state's coast -- twin waterspouts swirling side by side in the water.

Stephanie Morgan English captured video Tuesday showing a waterspout pulling water high up into the air off Dekle Beach in Taylor County.

The video shows a second waterspout form to the side of the first.

"So cool!" English exclaims in the video.

Four people, including a 4-year-old girl, were struck by lightning in two separate Fourth of July gatherings for fireworks on Wednesday, authorities said.

The young girl and an 18-year-old man were first hit by a bolt of lightning as people gathered to watch a fireworks show at Robertson Field in Sheridan, Illinois, about 65 miles southwest of Chicago. Sheridan's fire chief, Kurt Tirevold, told WLS-TV that both victims were critically injured, with the girl receiving a direct hit and the teen suffering a ground shock.

A physician and two off-duty firefighters performed CPR on the girl before emergency responders arrived. They likely saved the girl's life, Tirevold said.

Witnesses told the station that even at several yards away, they felt the lightning strike, which scattered tree bark throughout the field.

A lightning strike on Lake Mahopac sent four boaters to the hospital Wednesday afternoon.

The lightning strike occurred around 3:30 p.m. when a storm suddenly moved over the lake. Two men and two women who were on an approximately 20-foot pleasure boat in the lake did not come to shore as the storm intensified.

The lightning did not directly hit the boat, which did not appear damaged, said Mahopac fire Chief Bill Nikisher. It's more likely that the lightning struck the water near the boat, he said.

"They were out there and they said (the boat) stopped working after they got hit. One of the people said they felt tingling in their legs," said Nikisher.

Hail the size of chicken eggs destroys vineyard in minutes in Limoux, France

For the second consecutive year, vineyards in Limoux, Aude, have been hit hard by hail.

On Tuesday of this week, hailstones the "size of chicken's eggs" fell in Limoux, lamented Guillaume Brunet, winemaker at Gardie.

Showers of hail devastated the whole vineyard in a few minutes, and the loss is huge.

"Last year, we lost 80% of the harvest because of a frost, and this year, again, we lose 100% from the hail," said Pierre Tichadou, winegrower.

Comment: Even though many farmers in France attempt to protect their crop from hail damage with nets and controversial hail guns, the ferocity and frequency of these storms is rising so even they are unprepared. Increasingly they also need to be aware of erratic frosts, epic floods, heatwaves, microbursts, the list goes on. The future for farming is looking bleak indeed:


Similar has been occurring all over the world - Italy:

A motorist removes the snow from his car on the Swaarmoed Pass, 10 km outside Ceres in Western Province Cape, South Africa, on July 3, 2018.
What can be described as a once in a century snow fall event with record cold swept across southern Africa over the last four days, leaving record snow and snow accumulation in areas of South Africa that have never recorded snowfall over the last 150 years. Additionally record cold records smashed through Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, all the way to 20 degrees S Latitude. Climate cycles shifted so we take a look at the ancient Kalahari megalithic cities and worlds largest canal system left by a previous civilisation some 30,000 years ago in the same areas.
