"We warned at the start of ZetaTalk, in 1995, that unpredictable weather extremes, switching about from drought to deluge, would occur and increase on a lineal basis up until the pole shift. Where this occurred steadily, it has only recently become undeniable. ZetaTalk, and only ZetaTalk, warned of these weather changes, at that early date. Our early warnings spoke to the issue of global heating from the core outward, hardly Global Warming, a surface or atmospheric issue, but caused by consternation in the core. Affected by the approach of Planet X, which was by then starting to zoom rapidly toward the inner solar system for its periodic passage, the core was churning, melting the permafrost and glaciers and riling up volcanoes. When the passage did not occur as expected in 2003 because Planet X had stalled in the inner solar system, we explained the increasing weather irregularities in the context of the global wobble that had ensued - weather wobbles where the Earth is suddenly forced under air masses, churning them. This evolved by 2005 into a looping jet stream, loops breaking away and turning like a tornado to affect the air masses underneath. Meanwhile, on Planet Earth, droughts had become more intractable and deluges positively frightening, temperature swings bringing snow in summer in the tropics and searing heat in Arctic regions, with the violence of storms increasing in number and ferocity."

First nor'easter of the season hits Northeast, leaving more than 587 000 customers without power, U.S.

A rapidly intensifying coastal storm affecting parts of the Northeast U.S. since October 25, 2021, brought strong winds and flooding rains, from New Jersey into most of southern New England. This is the first nor'easter of the season, with the worst effects forecast to hit New England late October 26 through October 27.

Parts of New Jersey received up to 125 mm (5 inches) of rain by 11:00 LT on October 26. Central Park in New York City received 68.58 mm (2.7 inches) of rain by 13:00 LT while Islip on Long Island received 66.04 mm (2.6 inches).

Strong winds brought by the storm left more than 29 000 customers without power in Massachusetts by 23:59 LT on October 26 (03:59 UTC, October 27).

As the storm continued intensifying, the number of customers without power in Massachusetts rose to 189 000 by 08:25 UTC (up from 150 000 at 08:00 UTC), 21 620 in Maine, and 9 030 in New Hampshire.

The number rose to more than 587 000 by 16:00 UTC -- 492 000 in Massachusetts, 82 000 in Rhode Island, and 13 000 in Connecticut.

The Nor'easter responsible for producing flash flooding and powerful winds across much of the Northeast will begin to wane in strength and impact today as the surface low moves out into the North Atlantic, NWS forecaster Kebede noted at 07:00 UTC today. 

Additional rainfall amounts will be marginal, but winds will remain strong until this evening when the surface pressure gradient weakens. Wind advisories, high wind warnings and flood watches remain in effect for parts of southern New England.

Autumn-like temperatures will return to the East Coast for the next several days in the wake of the departing Nor'easter as well as the arrival of high pressure over the Ohio Valley and eventually the Northeast.

A severe storm stalled over NW Italy on October 4, 2021, dumping record-breaking rain and causing floods and landslides. In addition, the storm produced more than half a million lightning strikes within 48 hours.

The day started with 496 mm (19.5 inches) of rain in just 6 hours registered in Cairo Montenotte, Province of Savona, Liguria, breaking the country's 6-hour rainfall record of 472 mm (18.6 inches) set in 2011.¹

In just 12 hours, the same storm system dropped 740.6 mm (29.1 inches) of rain in Rossiglione, 13 km (22 miles) E of Cairo Montenotte, in the Province of Genova, Liguria, setting a new European 12-hour rainfall record.

That's more than half of the average rainfall the region gets in a year -- 1 270 mm (50 inches).

Agenzia Regionale Protezione Ambiente Ligure (ARPAL) reported 1-hour rainfall totals of 145.2 mm (5.7 inches) in Cairo Montenotte, 178.2 mm (7 inches) in Urbe and 181 mm (7.1 inches) in Vicomorasso - a new national record. Furthermore, figures from ARPAL show the station at Rossiglione recorded more than 900 mm (35.4 inches) of rain in 24 hours.²

All that rain caused numerous rivers to overflow and produced traffic-disrupting landslides.

While authorities said they responded to many calls for help, including rescue operations, there are no reports of casualties.

Flash floods hit Marseille after 2 months' worth of rain overnight, France

Flash floods hit parts of the city of Marseille in southern France on October 4, 2021, after 173 mm (6.8 inches) of rainfall fell overnight, with most of it in the space of 2 hours. The amount represents 2 months' worth of the city's average October rainfall. Travel was disrupted in the region and a number of train services were suspended.

Meteo France warned of the risk of significant flooding along the banks of Huveaune River, which runs through Marseille, and urged locals to be vigilant as storms were expected to last into the night.

Some of the residents living on the banks of the river in the Saint-Loup district were evacuated ahead of the storms.

The worst affected were parts of eastern Marseille, including the areas of Valmante, Les Olives, La Valentine and La Pomme.

Marseille Mayor Benoit Payan ordered residents to stay at home, amid concerns that further rainfall may intensify flooding.

Heavy rains also hit central parts of the country on October 3, with 150 and 300 mm (5.9 - 11.8 inches) of rain in 24 hours over Cevennes, and up to 458.5 mm (18 inches) in Villefort, Lozere -- representing about 3 to 4 months of rain.

Torrential downpours hit parts of southern Spain on September 23, 2021, causing severe flash flooding in the province of Huelva.

The floods inundated homes and swept away vehicles in the cities of Huelva and Lepe, and caused more than 600 emergency interventions.

According to the Andalusian Meteorological Agency, parts of the province received as much as 100 mm (4 inches) of rain in a 12-hour period on September 23.

The Parana River, the second-longest river in South America after the Amazon, is about to dry out, leaving millions in fear

The water levels of the Paraná river, the second-longest in South America after the Amazon, are at their lowest since 1944.

The river is key to commercial shipping and fishing but also provides 40 million people with drinking water.

A drought in the region means water levels have dipped so low that fishers’ livelihoods are at risk.

The Paraná is 4,880km (3,032 miles) long and flows south from south-east Brazil through Paraguay and Argentina.

It merges with the Paraguay and Uruguay rivers to form the Río de la Plata Basin.

“The Paraná is the largest, most biodiverse and the most important socio-productive wetland in Argentina,” explains geologist Carlos Ramonell.

Southern Brazil, where the Paraná’s source is located, has seen three years of below-average rainfalls.

The level of the river is so low that cargo ships have to reduce the amount of grains that are loaded for export.

The Paraguay river is also running very low

As a result, the Paraná’s flow rate has dropped from an average of 17,000 cubic meters a second to just 6,200.

The low water levels are causing problems for energy production with the hydroelectric plant that spans the Parana river between Argentina and Paraguay running at only 50%.

On Wednesday, Brazil’s Vice-President Hamilton Mourão warned that the drought could also lead to energy rationing in Brazil.

It is also hampering the transport of goods with ships not able to load up fully in case they run aground.

The Paraná is a key waterway for the transport of grains and the situation is forcing exporters to consider using land routes.

Forecasters say the drought could last until 2022. [BBC]

Ida Turns New York Area Into Disaster Area With Catastrophic Flooding

The New York City metropolitan area was struck by sudden disaster on Wednesday night as the remnants of Hurricane Ida flooded subways, roads, and homes across the city and beyond. Intense flooding inundated many areas of the city, Long Island, and across the Hudson in New Jersey. Governor Kathy Hochul has declared a state of emergency and has asked for federal help for what appears to be the worst natural disaster to strike the city since 2012’s Superstorm Sandy. Below are updates from the storm.

Subway passengers fled trains, stuck in system

Six trains were stuck in floodwaters and their passengers had to be evacuated, according to New York Post reporter David Meyer, citing the MTA. The Metro-North and Long Island Railroad are “totally offline.”

On CNN, straphangers described being stuck far from home in the Times Square station with no other means home after the city ordered all non-emergency vehicles off the roads until 5 a.m.

Governor Hochul declares a state of emergency

Hochul, in only her eight day in office, appeared on CNN shortly before midnight, saying that Ida’s path through New York was devastating “far more than anyone expected.” Shortly after the appearance, she declared a state of emergency, urging New Yorkers to “stay off the roads and avoid all unnecessary travel.” A travel ban in New York City is also in effect until 5 a.m.

All subway service was temporarily suspended

New York City breaks a rainfall record for the second time in less than two weeks

On August 22, Tropical Depression Henri dumped 1.94 inches on Central Park between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m., breaking the record for the most rain in an hour in New York City. Ida bested that record just 11 days later, dropping three inches of rain between 8:51 and 9:51 p.m. on Wednesday night. The intense downpour caused flooding throughout the city, as well as the first flash-flood emergency ever to be issued in New York City

The Weather Service reports rainfall totals of up to 4.5 to 7 inches in some areas, and more rain is expected. Earlier in the night, the Weather Service issued a tornado warning in some neighborhoods in the Bronx after radar determined a tornado had formed.

New Jersey declares a state of emergency

Just after 10 p.m., Governor Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency

In Newark, parts of Liberty Airport flooded after 3.24 inches of rain was recorded between 8 and 9 p.m. Many areas of New Jersey have reported flooding, including Elizabeth, Jersey City, Passaic, North Plainfield, Short Hills. A bayou boat was deployed in Lambertville

It Just Rained on Greenland's Summit For The First Time in Recorded History

It has just rained at the summit of Greenland's ice sheet for the first time in recorded history, in yet another worrying milestone in our ecological unravelling.

Like much of the Northern Hemisphere, Greenland's been experiencing a massive heatwave with temperatures at the glacier's summit rising above freezing for the third time in less than a decade. On 14 August 2021, at a place normally far too frigid for water to fall as a liquid, the National Snow and Ice Data Center's (NSIDC) Summit Station recorded several hours of rain.

"There is no previous report of rainfall at this location, which reaches 3,216 meters (10,551 feet) in elevation," NSIDC reported, noting the amount of ice lost in one day was seven times more than the daily average for this time of year.

Massive wildfire near Jerusalem forces residents to evacuate

08.15.21,++

Firefighters working to contain blaze but say it is advancing quickly amid strong winds, causing a massive black cloud to completely block out sun near the capital

https://www.ynetnews.com/article/sjmk7i8ek?fbclid=IwAR3LSwnHh13CfG-...

An abnormally massive wildfire near Jerusalem on Sunday forced residents in several small outlying communities to evacuate.

Some homes in the communities of Kiryat Ye’arim and Sho’eva were evacuated as all residents in Ramat Raziel were ordered to leave immediately.

Firefighters were trying to contain the blaze but said it was advancing quickly amid strong winds, causing a massive black cloud that blocked out the sun near the capital.

Teams were also working to fend off the flames from the nearby Eitanim Psychiatric Facility.
Ten firefighting planes scrambled to aid in the efforts to extinguish the fire on top of reservist firefighters that were called to the scene.
"We are quickly working together with security and rescue services to control the flame," said the head of the Mateh Yehuda Regional Council Niv Vizel. "Council officials are at the scene and are in contact with local communities. We urge all residents and visitors to comply with police so we can get the situation under control as soon as possible."

The Jerusalem area has been a hotspot for wildfires over the past months due to tinder-like summer conditions.
Two weeks ago, a wildfire nearly reached a local mall and gas station, forcing Highway 1 to be closed off for nearly two hours.
