Unfortunately, Hurricane Florence is developing according to the same scenario that Unknowncountry has been warning about since the publication of Whitley Strieber and Art Bell’s book Superstorm in 1999. Katrina, Sandy, Harvey and now Florence have all come into contact with unusually warm inshore waters, causing them to strengthen dangerously as they moved onshore. Addiing to this problem, the storms have been slow moving due to the general decline in air circulation and the weight of the water vapor in these very large cloud masses.

Three Cape Verde hurricanes have formed at the same time in the south central Atlantic while a fourth storm in the Pacific in threatening Hawaii with it’s second hurricane of the season. At the same time, a new tropical depression is forming south of Florida. As the oceans warm, generalized outbreaks such as this will become the new normal, and coastal areas from Florida to Newfoundland will experience high-category named storms on a regular basis. In additon, warming Pacific waters will enable storms that form off the Baja Peninsula to move up into southern California waters within a few years.

This is the same effect that has been present in the Gulf of Mexico since the early part of this century.

A 12-year-old girl has taken a picture of what appears to be the infamous Loch Ness Monster. On holiday with her parents at the Scottish loch, Charlotte Robinson spotted something popping up out of the water about fifty feet away, and managed to capture a photograph of the creature when it resurfaced for a second look.

It was black – I just don’t know how far it was out of the water. I’m not good at judging distances. But after about a minute it disappeared and then came back up again in a different place."
