Extreme weather update - 0609/2015

Sub-Tropical Storm Ana Forms Off Carolina Coast



Friday, May 8, 2015, 9:17 AM - Subtropical storm Ana developed Thursday night about 265 km south-southeast of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Ana is the first storm of the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season and it's a month ahead of schedule.

The storm sustained winds of up to 25 mph and is moving at a rate of 2 mph. Ana is expected to strengthen but may weaken before it hits the Eastern Seaboard.

A tropical storm watch was issued for the coast from Edisto Beach, S.C., to Cape Lookout, N.C.



On Friday, it brought heavy bands of rain to the eastern Carolinas.

"We have had tropical storms and hurricanes in May before – including a Category 3 storm in 1951, which was named Able," said Weather Network meteorologist Dr. Doug Gillham.

The last time a subtropical storm developed in the Atlantic in May was in 2007. That storm was named Andrea.

"There remains a lot of uncertainty whether or not this could find it's way into Atlantic Canada. Some residual effects could have a notable impact including an enhancement of moisture over Atlantic Canada," said Weather Network meteorologist Brett Soderholm.

Large volcanic eruptions in 1 day! Sakurajima Volcano in Japan






11 separate large blasts occurred at Sakurajima Volcano on mainland South Japan in just one days time.

Over 30 minutes of eruptions compiled from the day. 7 daytime eruptions, and 4 eruptions after dark. Then the feed was CUT by the Japanese webcam host! 


This is like 2011 all over again, multiple large eruptions at Sakurajima means pressure is building in the region. Sakurajima is like a pressure gauge on the Pacific plate, when we see Sakurajima show major activity, we can expect large earthquake activity to follow in nearby adjacent areas just to the North and just to the South of this location in Japan.

These 11 eruptions were recorded via video capture from the streaming webcams provided by the University of Tokyo, and the JSA.

You can watch (record) your own videos of this volcano using the webcams on http://www.volcanodiscovery.com 


11 eruptions japan 1 day may 8 2015

This new volcanic activity comes on the heels of multiple large earthquakes in the West Pacific, the announcement that a dormant volcano near Tokyo (silent for 800 years) is coming to life, and with a new Eruption in the Philippines. 
All this happened after deep movement in the Asthenosphere below the West Pacific.

Studies (and tests in the field) have been done which prove Asthenosphere movement (deep below the plate) causes shallow movement upon the plate above.

When the deep movement occurs, it displaces a larger region above the epicenter, the magma chambers located between the Asthenosphere, and the crust are also displaced, which then produces earthquake + volcano activity.

Community Reopens after Emergency-Level Flooding Prompts Hundreds to Evacuate in Nebraska

Authorities have reopened DeWitt, Nebraska, Friday morning after severe flooding struck the southeastern portion of the state and prompted Gov. Pete Ricketts to declare a state of emergency.

The Lincoln Journal-Star reports that officials also reopened Nebraska 103 Friday morning, providing main-street access to the town of 500.


Thursday night the entire town evacuated as nearly a foot of rain submerged roads, cars and homes. Residents crowded into nearby schools for shelter overnight, and are now being allowed back in to assess damage to their homes, along with electricians evaluating possible damage to power lines. ....




















One man was killed and more than 30 people injured when a tornado and violent storms hit northern Germany, ripping tiles off roofs, downing trees and overturning cars, emergency services said Wednesday.
