www.examiner.com/article/waterspout-reaches-land-to-become-duluth-minn-s-first-tornado-on-recordWaterspout reaches land to become Duluth, Minnesota's FIRST TORNADO TOUCHDOWN ON RECORD. A waterspout developed at approximately 11 a.m. CDT Thursday, two miles offshore from Duluth's airport over Superior Bay. The waterspout then turned into a tornado as it tracked briefly onshore. The tornado then went back into the bay as a waterspout before briefly turning into a tornado for a second time as it came onshore at Barker's Island, where it finally dissipated around 11:20 a.m. CDT. The tornado was rated an EF-0 on the enhanced fujita scale, with winds from 65 to 85 mph. No damage was reported. Nonetheless, the tornado is the first confirmed on record to touchdown in Duluth. There hasn't been a tornado in the city limits in recorded history. "There was one outside of city limits back in 1986." The NWS says it appears the waterspout-turned-tornado developed near an inflection point along the leading edge of a strong surge of northeast winds and or small scale frontal boundary, which were enhanced by the very warm Lake Superior water temperatures. www.examiner.com/article/lightning-strike-creates-25-foot-trench-to-massachusetts-homeLightning strike creates 25-foot trench, damage to Massachusetts home - Strong to severe thunderstorms that hit parts of Massachusetts on Friday produced a lightning strike that created a 25-foot trench to a Foxboro home, leaving a elderly woman hospitalized. Firefighters said around 4 p.m. EDT, lightning hit a tree and it imploded, which sent chunks of wood that ripped down parts of a large fence and impaled a portion of the deck. The lightning strike then traveled across the yard while digging up a trench to the house, blasting apart the wood stairs and blowing off the gutters around the home. The 74-year-old homeowner was rushed to a local hospital with chest pains, shortly after the incident. She is being monitored at a hospital, but her family said she should be okay. No fire was reported but there was a heavy smell of smoke following the lightning strike. At least one other home was struck by lightning as the storms moved through the area. (slideshow)

poleshift.ning.com/profiles/blogs/metro-manila-sinking-expert-saysMetro Manila Sinking, Expert Says Residents affected by floodings, ride on a boat as they survey their houses in Camp Lagoon in Baguio, Trinidad province, north of Manila on August 15, 2012, as tropical Storm Kai-tak hit the northeast of the main island of Luzon before dawn. Metro Manila Sinking, Expert Says Aug 16, 2012 All of the metropolitan area of Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is sinking, an expert warned on Thursday. “The entire Metro Manila is sinking. And we said you’ll have to consider that it’s sinking and not slowly, it’s sinking at several centimeters per year,” Fernando Siringan of University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute told a Senate committee hearing, according to the Philippine Star. Siringan said the sinking is caused in part by “global warming,” which causes the sea level to rise by nearly one centimeter per year. His comments come after weeks of rains caused by tropical storms drenched Manila, causing floods and other disasters that killed 109 people, AFP reported.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dzbx7nDrVg&feature=player_embeddedAugust 10, 2012: Louisiana officials are investigating whether an underground salt cavern may be responsible for a large sinkhole that has swallowed 100-foot-tall cypress trees and prompted evacuations in a southern Louisiana bayou. Measurements taken Monday showed the sinkhole measures 324 feet in diameter and is 50 feet deep, but in one corner it goes down 422 feet, said John Boudreaux, director of the Office of Homeland Security in Assumption Parish, about 30 miles south of Baton Rouge. The sinkhole appeared August 3, more than two months after local residents started noticing bubbles in the water. The bubbles grew in number and frequency, and in some spots they made the bayou look like a boiling crawfish pot. Read More: earthfrenzyradio.com/earth-changes/massive-louisiana-sinkhole-widening

skywatch-media.com/2012/08/mysterious-louisiana-sinkhole-raises.htmlMysterious Louisiana Sinkhole Raises Concerns of Explosions and Radiation A nearly 400-foot deep sinkhole in Louisiana has swallowed all of the trees in its area and enacted a mandatory evacuation order for about 150 residences for fear of potential radiation and explosions. The 400-square-foot gaping hole is in Assumption Parish, La., about 50 miles south of Baton Rouge. The sinkhole sits in the middle of a heavily wooded space where it has consumed all of the soaring cypress trees that had been there. Flyover photos show some of the treetops still visible through the mud. Authorities enacted a mandatory evacuation for between 100 and150 homes in the area, but most people have chosen to stay, according to the Mayor's Office of Emergency Preparedness. If any of the dangers seem to become more imminent, the order will be escalated to a forced evacuation. While officials are not certain what caused the massive sinkhole, they believe it may be have ben caused by a nearby salt cavern owned by the Texas Brine Company. After being used for nearly 30 years, the cavern was plugged in 2011 and officials believe the integrity of the cavern may have somehow been compromised, leading to the sinkhole. [Slideshow: Massive sinkholes wreak havoc around the world] On Thursday, Louisiana's Department of Natural Resources required that Texas Brine drill a well to investigate the salt cavern as soon as possible, obtain samples from the cavern and provide daily reports on their findings. It could take up to 10 days to set up the drilling process, even with an expedited process. "We have to arrange for the driller. We have to pick a location. We have to be very careful to not be in a point that's too close to the sinkhole because of the weight of the rig," Texas Brine Company spokesman Sonny Cranch told ABCNews.com today. "We don't want to aggravate the situation." The sinkhole is on the outside edge of the salt dome where this particular brine well is located. "There are some indications that it very well may have been connected, but there's just indications," Cranch said. "There's nothing concrete that has connected the sinkhole to the cavern." There was bubbling in the water and the sinkhole is near areas where there has been exploration for oil and gas in the past, which would make the presence of low levels of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) possible. The state's Department of Environmental Quality said water samples from the sinkhole showed oil and diesel on its surface, but initial readings did not detect radiation. In the days after the sinkhole opened up on Aug. 3, nearby Highway 70 was closed down because officials discovered that the sinkhole caused a 36-inch natural gas pipeline to bend and feared the possibility of an explosion, according to ABC News' Baton Rouge affiliate WBRZ. "That's why the mandatory evacuation is going to stay on, because there is a risk for explosion," John Boudreaux of from Assumption Parish Emergency Preparedness said at a meeting with residents on Tuesday, WBRZ reported. "We are determined to do everything we can to find the answer," president of Texas Brine Mark Cartwright told the residents. Some community members were visibly frustrated with the situation and lack of answers. "You can give us a straight answer because that's all we want," one woman said at the meeting. "We want to know when we can come home and be safe. Because you all go home after a days work. You're safe, but we're not." Gov. Bobby Jindal issued a declaration of emergency allowing the Governor's Office of Homeland Security to assist in the efforts if necessary. "This is extremely serious and it's been going on for too long to still be at this point," Kim Torres, spokeswoman for the Office of Emergency Preparedness, told ABCNews.com today. "The people are very aware of how serious this is." Attachments:
