Earth Changes: Hurricane season set to break century old record
Latest earth changes within....
The feverish 2017 hurricane season doesn’t seem to be
letting up: on Monday, Tropical Storm Ophelia formed in the central
Atlantic and is expected to become a hurricane this week. While the
storm poses no threat to land, it could become the 10th consecutive
storm to grow to hurricane strength — a streak of intense systems that
will tie a record last set in the late 1800s. It comes in a season that
has already produced five major hurricanes, including three ferocious
Category 5 storms, and 15 named storms.
The amount of accumulated cyclone energy — a measure of the intensity and longevity of storms — is also 254 percent higher than average with seven weeks left in the season, said University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy. “We had 15 named storms last year, but things got named that weren’t really things people would remember,” he said. “There’s some heavy hitters this season.” READ MORE

Canary Islands on High Alert as Earthquake Swarm Strikes La Palma – 40 Quakes in 48 Hours
Fears of a volcano erupting on the Canary Islands has sparked panic
as the Spanish archipelago was hit by more than 40 earthquake tremors in
just 48 hours. La Palma was rocked by more than 40 seismic movements
of low magnitude and intensity between 1.5 and 2.7 on the Richter scale,
according to the data of the National Geographic Institute. The biggest
earthquake recorded at around 1pm on Saturday,
had a magnitude of 2.7 and took place in the area of the Natural Park Cumbre Vieja, 28 kilometres deep. The second largest quake, of 2.6, took place at 1.23pm on Sunday in the same area, while the third quake erupted at midnight on Monday, reaching a magnitude of 2.1, according to the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (Involcan). The earthquakes have sparked panic across the Canary Islands, with volcano experts pulled in to examine the unusual seismic activity. READ MORE
