oSOTT Earth Changes Video Summary - April 2015: Extreme Weather and Planetary Upheaval
Raging
wildfires in Siberia destroyed thousands of homes and injured hundreds
of people. Late in the month, on the anniversary of the world's worst
nuclear accident, wildfires broke out within the Chernobyl plant
exclusion zone in northern Ukraine. Both the Middle East and China
experienced their "worst sandstorms in years", while huge dust storms
also brought chaos to parts of both the American and Russian West. There
were devastating landslides in Indonesia and Afghanistan, and a
slow-moving 'horizontal landslide' in a Siberian town... which was also
the setting last month for another bizarre 'exploding crater-hole'.
Settlements
in the 'driest place on Earth', Atacama Desert in Chile, were washed
away after being inundated for the second month in a row. Severe
flooding also hit drought-plagued Sao Paulo for the 4th time in 6
months, while melting snowpack combined with torrential rain to inundate
parts of the US South and eastern Kazakhstan. Inches - and sometimes
feet - of hail turned streets into rivers in the US, India, and
Australia, where a "once-in-a-decade" storm battered the capital Sydney.
The US Midwest saw multiple violent tornado outbreaks, while powerful
tornadoes devastated communities in India and Brazil.
But none of
this rocking and rolling was as destructive as the strongest earthquake
to hit the Himalayas in over 80 years. The 7.9M quake pretty much
destroyed Nepal, set off avalanches that buried Mount Everest's base
camp, and killed people in northern India, Bangladesh, and Tibet. The
quake's death toll could reach 10,000 people, and has left millions more
homeless. The most spectacular event of the month occurred in southern
Chile, where Calbuco volcano exploded to life after being dormant for 40
years, spewing lava and ash thousands of feet into the air...
