Tornado spotted over Lancashire

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

Recently UK weather has been threatening to give a few tornadoes, see below for the latest sighting.

“The Met Office has confirmed the weather in the Hutton area was “conducive to tornadoes” at the weekend although it had not received any reports of unusual weather conditions in the area.” Source

This coming only a few days after we had the most violent clap of thunder I have probably ever heard around here. The storm that was over our house eventually destroyed the home of an old lady a few miles down the road.

Explosion : gas low for cold week in UK

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

A Birmingham MP today warned of forced power cuts due to a recent explosion at a gas storage facility will leave supplies tight in the UK running into next week. With the recent cold snap forcast to run into next week we could be seeing the lights go out if we as a nation don’t turn off the heating when we don’t need it on.

“In the short term, however, the UK is on a knife edge in terms of gas supplies. An explosion at the country’s main storage field has left the UK with accessible supplies of just two days. If there is prolonged bad weather in the next month, the shortage of gas could lead to power cuts.” Source

Yellow snow in Russia

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

Could this be a possible sign of increased volcanic activity rather than some unreported massive leak from Russia’s energy industy? Certainly is an interesting sign if a volcano somewhere did cause this.

Why volcanoes again Mr Jordan? Well the climate as we know is driven by the sun, particles from volcanoes could cause global dimming, where by solar radiation is reflected away from the planets surface , which could over decades lead us to more normal winters and then abnormal winters and then another little ice age.

Freaked out after Gamma Ray Burst

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

A recent flalsh of energy from a distant star has lasted 700 seconds. Why do I write about this, well because of some strange coincidences recently. The sun hasn’t been very active recently, nothing higher than C-Class flares, but the geomagnetic field around the planet has been at unstable to stormy, with the KP index going red just a few days ago ….. so these events I wish to relate to the recent Gamma Burst.

Gives you a different perspective on the news all this kind of stuff does.

-10C Blast In UK; Coldest In Decades

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

Brrrrrr it’s cold, even in the Midlands, coldest day for 5 years in Brum today. I have a stinking head cold, have been ill for nearly a week now! The sun is peppered with sunspots. The lights went off in Canada, in a similar fashion to what happened there in 1989.

“Britain is bracing itself for more icy blasts and heavy snow with even colder conditions moving in. Workers have already been greeted with freezing and icy weather as they return to work after the Christmas break. More travel chaos is predicted as temperatures plunge to as low as -10C overnight.” Source

Meanwhile, apart from there being major snow problems in much of Europe as seen here, Italy is a worthy mention :

White Florence : first in 20 years

“Florence, Italy has awoken this morning to a covering of snow for the first time in 20 years. A heavy snowfall which fell throughout almost the entire night, has covered the city’s buildings and monuments with 10-12 cm of snow” Source

Superstorm 2005

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

Apart from a Tornado in Melborne and the recent surge in wind and rain around the world, Hurricane Wilma could collide with tropical storm Alpha, the first storm named on the greek alphabet. Let’s see how it plays out but the East Coast of the states may possibly be in for a rough one. Could the season draw to a close with such a super storm?

“Some locations in the highest elevations of West Virginia and across southern New York state and New England will receive in excess of a foot of snow … There also is the potential for extensive wind damage. Wind will gust to 70 mph” Source

Could the end of Wilma hit the UK or Spain over the weekend?

“I was looking at the pressure system charts and Wilma is edging up the coast of the U.S.A before crossing the atlantic heading towards spain area before edging north to southern Ireland and England on Saturday.” Source

70 MPH Winds Sweep Through Britain

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

It has been windy and continues to be:

“Flood warnings are in place across Britain after heavy rain and 70mph winds swept across the country. Homes and shops in Plymouth and Cornwall have been flooded and there are warnings of further bad weather. The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning in England and Wales.” Source

Wilma : Growing Concern Over Chemtrails

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

I’m not stating truth, just observation, so take this with the biggest vat of salt you can find! Wilma just became a Cat5 hurricane overnight. People close to hurricane Wilma’s track are reporting huge white trails left hanging in the sky.

Now could this be an atempt to steer a huricane as crazy as it sounds, it’s the first such storm where I have seen people reporting Chemtrails before a hurricane. Search around for “Wilma Chemtrails” and you’ll find discussion about it on the net, also some people are noting almost censorship of satelite images. There is an extreme POV that states that weather modification is a war between Russia, China, Japan and the USA … and yeah that is highly unlikely but is another crazy way of coming to terms with the fact that our climate is supposed to change and suprise us, look back at history and find evidence that global warming has always been around..

So yeah Chemtrails. Basically contrails are the trails left hanging in the sky from comercial jet flights, they usually don’t hang around all day, fact. What isn’t yet fact and is up for much debate and sounding as crazy as the whole UFO thing is something called chemtrails, which are sprays from jet flights that cause clouds to form. Chemtrails hang around all day and spread over the sky to form fluffy white sheets of cloud.

The US Govt. have an active weather modification programme underway, hollywood made a film about it that was shown in the UK only last night. The fear is that chemtrails induce all kinds of health issues when toxic metals used to form clouds drop to the ground, originally a technique used to stave off the oldest joke in the book : global warming.

Wilma : Most Intense Atlantic Storm Ever

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

She certainly poped up from nowhere, have been watching her since the weekend out of interest, up to cat5 now, faster than Katrina, and like Katrina my hit people dense areas as a cat3 storm.

“Wilma’s top sustained winds reached 175 mph early Wednesday in the most rapid strengthening ever recorded in a hurricane, said meteorologist Hugh Cobb of the National Hurricane Center in Miami. At the same time Tuesday, Wilma was only a tropical storm with winds of 70 mph.” Source

Ex-Hurricane Vince drops by Spain

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005

Spain saw the tail end of an atlantic storm recently. Vince managed to make his way from near Florida to Spain, just as Maria managed to make her force known in Norway. Either way two atlantic storms have hit Europe as Britain sees a painful reoccurance of localised flooding and traffic chaos.

“Tropical storm Vince became the first tropical cyclone on record to make landfall in Iberia on Tuesday, bringing heavy rain and winds to southern Spain and Portugal, meteorologists said.” Source
