🇺🇸 Illinois tornado rated EF4 — one of the most destructive‼️

🌪According to experts, the tornado that struck the city of Marion (Illinois) on the evening of May 16 has been classified as EF4 — the second-highest level on the Enhanced Fujita scale. Wind speeds within the funnel reached 190 mph (approximately 305 km/h).

🆘 An EF4 tornado is an extremely rare and dangerous event, causing serious concern among meteorologists and emergency response services. A tornado of this strength can level houses, uproot trees, flip vehicles, and cause catastrophic damage along its path.

⚠️ This is already the second EF4-rated tornado of the year, highlighting the unusual intensity and danger of the current season. And as experts note, it is far from over.

🇨🇴 Strong Earthquake Triggers Landslide in Risaralda, Colombia

⛰ On Saturday, May 17, 2025, a strong earthquake struck between the villages of El Nivel and La Ceja in the La Morelia sector of Marsella municipality, Risaralda Department, Colombia. The tremor caused a massive landslide that completely blocked the La Nona River, prompting authorities to declare the highest level of alert and initiate immediate evacuations.

The blockage of the river raises concerns about a potential sudden release of water, threatening downstream areas including Caracas, Beltrán, Sonora, and Palermo sectors. The Marsella Risk Management Committee has ordered the evacuation of residents in these high-risk zones to prevent possible casualties.

This incident underscores the vulnerability of the region to seismic activity and the importance of preparedness and rapid response to natural disasters.

🇸🇰 Snow and Fog Blanket Vrátna Chleb, Slovakia, in Mid-May

❄️ On May 19, the mountain area of Vrátna Chleb in Slovakia experienced snowfall and thick fog, creating an atmosphere more typical of winter than of spring in May. Local residents and tourists were surprised by these weather conditions, which are usually seen in January.

According to local media, the snow cover in some places reached several centimeters, and temperatures remained low, creating unusual and beautiful landscapes. This anomaly has become a topic of discussion among meteorologists and nature enthusiasts.

‼️🌍These weather anomalies highlight the urgent need to unite the full scientific potential and efforts of the scientific elite to find the true causes of such sharp climate changes and to develop effective ways to address global problems. More and more scientists and experts are coming to understand that carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere are not the sole or primary cause of these sudden climate shifts. This opens new horizons for research and the search for comprehensive solutions aimed at preserving our planet.

(May 19, 2025)

😉 Around 21:00 UT, a beautiful filament eruption was observed in the northeastern region of the Sun. This resulted in a coronal mass ejection (CME) that is primarily directed north of Earth.

🟡 According to experts, the eruption produced a decent-sized partial halo CME, but its trajectory indicates no impact on our planet.

😊 This event highlights ongoing solar activity but poses no threat to Earth.

🇻🇳 Vietnam: Rare Deep-Sea Fish Sighting Sparks Earthquake Fears 🌊🐟

⚠️ТOn May 18, 2025, a rare two-meter-long oarfish (*Cá Mái Chèo*) was discovered on Vinh Hy Beach in Ninh Thuan Province, Vietnam. The event quickly spread across social media, raising concerns among local residents.

In many Asian cultures, the oarfish is traditionally seen as a harbinger of natural disasters. In Japanese mythology 🐉, it is called the “fish at the end of the world” — believed to surface before earthquakes or tsunamis to warn of impending catastrophe.

🔁 Similar cases over the past year:
– 🇲🇽 *February 2025, Mexico:* An oarfish was found on the coast, followed by an earthquake in the region days later.
– 🇺🇸 *August 2024, California:* Just two days before a 4.4-magnitude earthquake struck Los Angeles, a similar fish was spotted near the shore.
– 🇯🇵 *2011, Japan:* Before the devastating Tohoku earthquake, around 20 oarfish were reportedly found washed ashore.

While scientific research has yet to confirm a direct link between oarfish sightings and seismic activity, ‼️ these events continue to stir public concern and fascination.
