Oklahoma City Tornado

 

OKLAHOMA CITY — A violent storm formed over the prairie west of Oklahoma City late Friday afternoon, dropped a tornado in a suburb and rolled toward the state capital as viewers brave enough to remain above ground watched on statewide television.

Storm chasers with cameras in their car transmitted video showing a number of funnels dropping from the supercell thunderstorm as it passed south of El Reno and toward downtown Oklahoma City. Police urged motorists to leave the crosstown Interstate 40 and seek a safe place.

The Summer Monsoon looks set to gain a foothold on the Indian Subcontinent within as little as a few days. Monsoon onset would open the summer rainy season, beginning in southern and eastern parts of the Subcontinent. The Monsoon normally advances quickly into northern and western India during the first half of June before finally reaching most of Pakistan by mid-July.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) tracks the Monsoon advance, beginning in May, then follows its withdrawal from the Subcontinent late in the summer. The IMD have forecast an onset date of June 3 in the southwestern India state of Kerala. Normal onset date here is about June 1.

This volcano never ceases to amaze! Its been a very long time since the last video the Japanese agency put out in regards to this volcano.

At one point during 2011 , this volcano erupted 10 times in one day !

Things have quieted down a bit there, but now we see this... reminiscent of 2011's activity. Large static discharge lightning flashes, along with several lava bombs, and a LOT of ash fallout.
