Environment Canada confirms three tornadoes touched down during a stormy afternoon across southern Saskatchewan on Friday.

The first was a waterspout tornado over Old Wives Lake near Moose Jaw around 1 p.m.

"Sometimes you can get a special type of tornado that forms over water but in this case, I think it was probably just a tornado that just happened to go over the water," meteorologist Dan Fulton said Saturday morning.

Two more tornadoes touched down near Rockglen. One was northwest of town near 4 p.m. for an unknown length of time, the other was south of the community around 4:30 p.m., lasting for about five minutes.

Hailstorms and strong winds damage crops in Emilia Romagna and Marche, Italy

fruit
The bad weather on 9th July 2019 greatly affected Emilia Romagna and, in particular, a hailstorm lasting only slightly over a minute affected both the countryside and hills in the Cesena area.

As explained by producer Gianni Biguzzi "the event didn't last long but stones were as big as cherries. We still haven't fully assessed the damaged, but cracks are visible on Gea nectarines."

The Rimini area faced much worse, as hailstones that exceeded 5 cm fell in Bellaria - Igea Marina, San Mauro Pascoli, an area where there are a lot of vegetable crops.

The shaking won't stop: There have been more than 10,000 earthquakes in California and Nevada in the last 7 days

California earthquakes
The ground is constantly shaking in southern California right now, and this has many concerned that another large earthquake may be coming. I have been keeping my eye on Cal Tech's recent earthquake map, and as I write this article it says that there have been 10,053 earthquakes in California and Nevada over the past 7 days.

I have never seen that number so high, and southern California is being hit by yet another new earthquake every few moments. Most of the earthquakes are happening out in the Ridgecrest area where we witnessed the magnitude 6.4 earthquake that hit on July 4th and the magnitude 7.1 earthquake that hit on July 5th.


But as you can see from Cal Tech's map, there has been a tremendous amount of seismic activity along the San Andreas fault as well. As I discussed the other day, the San Andreas fault is "locked and loaded" and it is way overdue for "the Big One".

Could it be possible that all of this earthquake activity is leading up to something really big?

And it isn't just earthquakes that we need to be concerned about. According to Fox News, "geologists are nervously eyeing eight nearby volcanoes"...
