Really gusty winds in Leeds now not at home so can't check the speed but its really strong at times guessing 45mph plus

Old Paul on look north said no chance of a white Christmas ( then he joked about been wrong sometimes)

Just had a blizzard downpour in Morley near Leeds icy rain covered the cars with strong gusts of wind to go with it! Just in time for rush hour

Looks quite a Bliazzard outside in Morley near Leeds looks like Heavy Sleet and Snow mixed in very happy!

Heavy Hail storm and showers in Leeds temp around 5.5C feels bitter for the first time in a while!

Important Update : The IGP informed that the feeling percibed by the people was like the one of 2007 and damage is reported in Palpa,Ica. Hernan Tavara…… pointed that the sectors of Ica,Nazca and Palpa in the center-south were the most shaked. The earthquake make landslides in the coast, power outages, and problems with the cellphone service. ….. Local authorities informed that most of the houses have cracks and that there were sea level changes. The sea withdraw 10 meters from the coast of San Andres.

Lighting in (Morley) Leeds in the distance about 10 minutes ago, light rain at the moment all seems quieter now!

5.4 Aftershock hits Van-Turkey

A magnitude 7.6 earthquake hit 35 km northeast of the Turkish city of Van on Sunday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. The earthquake at 1041 GMT was 94.5 km deep, it said. Van is close to the Iranian border. Last year, Israel offered to send aid to Turkey after a strong earthquake killed 41 villagers in the eastern part of the country, local officials said, as rescuers worked to free survivors trapped under the rubble. The quake woke residents from their sleep when it struck at 4:32 AM local time, centred on the sparsely populated area of Basyurt in Elazig province. The quake had a magnitude of 6.0 and was followed by 30 minor aftershocks. "There was a lot of fear and panic among the people. It lasted about a minute. We felt it very strongly and everyone tried to get out onto the street," Nursel Sengezer, a Dogan News Agency correspondent in Elazig, told broadcaster CNN Turk. Turkey is criss-crossed with faultlines and frequently suffers earthquakes. A large earthquake measuring 7.4 killed some 18,000 people in August 1999.

Heavy band just in Morley near Leeds never seen rain mixed with hail like it!!

Getting Really gusty in Morley near Leeds now!!

It's only a question of when now not IF!

Fantastic video

Day before yesterday, 180 quakes. Yesterday, 263. So far today, 63, and a total of 8336 since the 19th of July 2011

Seems the comet is attracting the flares ? This would confirm that this thing has a strong gravitational pull maybe ???

Hi all sorry to spoil the thread but I'm heading over to Cuba on friday for a two week break will this hurricane effect me? Thanks in advance

What kind of Eruption would occur if Katla did decide to blow? and would it have an effect on the Climate air travel ?

Damage in Virginia

Effects of solar flares arriving on Earth WASHINGTON — The impact of a series of eruptions on the sun began arriving at Earth on Friday and could affect some communications for a day or so. Operators of electrical grids are working to avoid outages, but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says some satellite communications and Global Positioning Systems could face problems. Three solar flares erupted on the sun starting Tuesday, and the strongest electromagnetic shocks were being felt Friday by the ACE spacecraft, a satellite that measures radiation bursts a few minutes before they strike Earth, said Joseph Kunches, a scientist at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center in Colorado. Tom Bogdan, director of the center, said the sun is going from a quiet period into a busier cycle for solar flares and an increase in the number of such blasts is expected over the next three to five years. Solar flares send out bursts of electromagnetic energy that strike the Earth's magnetic field. The most common impacts for the average person are the glowing auroras around the north and south poles, and the researchers said those could be visible this weekend. The magnetic blasts, which Bogdan likened to a tsunami in space, can also affect electronic communications and electrical systems. A 1989 solar flare knocked out the electrical systems in Quebec, Canada, but the current solar storm is not expected to be that powerful. On a scale of 1 to 5, he said, it is probably a 2 or 3. But more significant solar storms are expected in the next few years, he said. The most powerful known solar storm occurred in 1859, Bogdan said. There were not as many vulnerable electrical items then, but it did knock out telegraph services, even burning down some telegraph stations, he said. Other serious solar blasts occurred in 1921 and 1940, he noted, and Kunches recalled one on Halloween in 2003.

M6-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: Earth orbiting satellites have just detected a significant M6-class solar flare. The source appears to be sunspot 1261. Increased energetic proton fluxes are possible in the vicinity of Earth. Stay tuned for updates. http://spaceweather.com/
