Philippines: Tropical storm Nalgae claims lives of 98, president to conduct an aerial inspection 

<p>Official tally in the Philippines showed that landslides and flooding killed at least 67 people on Friday. Southern part of the country has been lashed due to storm.</p>

<p>The village of Kusiong accounted for many of the 50 deaths in the area around Datu Odin Sinsuat town, after heavy overnight rain unleashed floods mixed with mud, rocks and fallen trees that buried the community, the area's civil defence office said in a statement.</p>

Eleven people remain missing and 31 were injured, according to official figures.</p>

<p>Tropical Storm Nalgae caused heavy rains which in turn led to flash floods that swamped nine mostly rural towns around Cotabato. It is a city of 300,000 people on Mindanao island. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Naguib Sinarimbo, the spokesman and civil defence chief for the regional government, tol AFP that many residents were caught by surprise as floodwaters rose rapidly before dawn. Sinamaribo said that Teams in rubber boats rescued residents.</p>

Hurricane Ian, which gained the extremely dangerous Category 4 status, is nearing landfall along southwest Florida, with the top winds attaining the speed of 155 mph, just shy of the 'most dangerous' Category 5 status, the regional weather centre said on Wednesday morning. According to reports, catastrophic winds and rain lashed the state's heavily populated Gulf Coast, with the Naples to Sarasota region at "highest risk" of a devastating storm surge. “Conditions rapidly deteriorating along the southwest Florida coast,” the National Hurricane Center in Miami said Wednesday morning. It warned that the hurricane could push as much as 12 feet of ocean water ashore in Florida, and urged people to evacuate the danger zone. Earlier, US Air Force's hurricane 'hunters' said that Ian intensified over Gulf of Mexico's warm waters after pummeling Cuba on Tuesday and bringing down the country’s electricity grid.

<p>For sheltering dogs in harsh conditions, three mushers, who were taking part in this year’s Iditarod Trail Sled Dog race, have been punished, said a report. &nbsp;</p>

<p>In the last stretch of the race, a fierce winter storm was witnessed, which forced six mushers to quit the same day. &nbsp;</p>

<p>In a storm with strong winds, Michelle Phillips of Canada, Mille Porsild of Denmark and Riley Dyche of Fairbanks have been penalised for taking dogs inside shelter cabins instead of leaving them outside, the Anchorage Daily News reported on Friday. &nbsp;</p>

For sheltering dogs in harsh conditions, three mushers, who were taking part in this year’s Iditarod Trail Sled Dog race, have been punished, said a report. In the last stretch of the race, a fierce winter storm was witnessed, which forced six mushers to quit the same day.

For sheltering dogs in harsh conditions, three mushers, who were taking part in this year’s Iditarod Trail Sled Dog race, have been punished, said a report. In the last stretch of the race, a fierce winter storm was witnessed, which forced six mushers to quit the same day. In a storm with strong winds, Michelle Phillips of Canada, Mille Porsild of Denmark and Riley Dyche of Fairbanks have been penalised for taking dogs inside shelter cabins instead of leaving them outside, the Anchorage Daily News reported on Friday.

Race marshal Mark Nordman decided to punish the mushers. He claimed the indoor rest for the dogs had amounted to a competitive advantage over other teams that trailed them into Nome. “No doubt that Michelle and Mille did the right thing for their dogs. But it also affected the competition for racers going forward,” Nordman said.

'Iditarod Trail Sled Dog' race: 3 mushers shelter canines in winter storm, get penalised  

<p>At least seven people were killed, including two children, in Iowa on Saturday as communities across the state were battered by what authorities said appeared to be tornadoes.</p>

<p>Six of the deaths occurred in Madison County, and a seventh was reported southeast of Chariton, a city in Lucas County, officials said.</p>

<p>In Madison County, four adults were injured, including three who were in serious condition and one who had life-threatening injuries, said Diogenes Ayala, director of the Madison County Emergency Management Agency.</p>

<p>“The best thing the community can do is just to not go to these areas,” Ayala said at a news conference late Saturday. “Let people that are living there — let them clean up. Give them some space. This is pretty devastating for our community.”</p>

<p>Ayala said that people should call authorities if they know someone who is missing.</p>

<p>The deaths in Madison County — including two children under age 5 — occurred at different locations. Ayala did not disclose more details about the deaths because some victims’ families had yet to be notified.</p>

<p>Ayala estimated that 25 to 30 homes had been destroyed but said a fuller assessment would come in the morning.</p>

<p>The National Weather Service said that a preliminary examination of photos and videos from around Winterset, a city in Madison County, suggested damage from a tornado with wind speeds of more than 135 mph.</p>

<p>The agency’s survey teams will further investigate the damage Sunday, officials said.</p>

<p>Video posted on social media and recorded south of Winterset showed the aftermath of the severe weather: piles of debris, smoke and a car flipped upside down.</p>

<p>Officials in Lucas County did not release details about the death there, also because family members had not been notified. Another person was seriously injured, a few had minor injuries, and four to six homes in the rural area were “majorly impacted,” Mike Lamb, emergency management coordinator for Lucas County, said late Saturday.</p>

<p>Tornadoes are “fairly common” in Iowa, Lamb said. “It’s not an uncommon occurrence,” he added. “But tornadoes of these magnitudes that cause damage are rare, or rarer.”</p>

<p>Several homes in Norwalk, about 10 miles south of Des Moines, were damaged along with the city’s public works site and some local businesses, said Shelby Hisel, a city spokesperson.</p>

<p>As of late Saturday, no injuries had been reported in Norwalk. Hisel was not sure whether the damage was the result of a tornado or another extreme weather event, such as high winds, and said the city would assess the damage in the morning.</p>

<p>The Des Moines International Airport was evacuated for more than 20 minutes as a precaution in response to a tornado warning, causing flight delays, said Kayla Kovarna, an airport spokesperson.</p>

The United Kingdom has been hit by the third storm in a week. After storm Eunice and Dudley, storm Franklin has caused heavy rain and severe flooding in northern Ireland.

<p>As the current situation in Britain is worsening with snow and biting temperatures, a 'rare' red warning could be used by the Met department to make people aware. Storm Dudley has already made landfall and storm Eunice is expected to bring in even stronger winds of 100mph.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the reports by The Mirror, a met office red warning is defined as: “Dangerous weather is expected and, if you haven’t already done so, you should take action now to keep yourself and others safe from the impact of the severe weather."</p>

<p>It further notes that "it is very likely that there will be a risk to life, with substantial disruption to travel, energy supplies and possibly widespread damage to property and infrastructure. You should avoid travelling, where possible, and follow the advice of the emergency services and local authorities.”</p>

'Pepperoni' storms topping Jupiter? NASA's latest video goes viral, watch here

Cyclone storm Batsirai has made landfall on Madagascar's eastern coast leaving behind a trail of destruction.

Cyclone Batsirai hits Madagascar's eastern coast leaving behind a trail of destruction

<p>A tenacious winter storm that has already canceled flights, closed schools and created slick roadways across the South and the Midwest on Friday dumped snow, sleet and ice upon the Northeast.</p>

<p>Heavy snow was projected in northern parts of New York and New England, with ice the primary concern farther south, said Rich Otto, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s prediction center.</p>

<p>The weather service said Friday that between 4 and 8 inches of snow had accumulated so far in pockets of New York state. Its office in Albany, New York, said early Friday morning that the city had started to see some sleet and freezing rain, and advised people to avoid driving if they could.</p>

<p>Buffalo and northern Vermont could see snow accumulation of up to 14 inches, according to the weather service, with 6 to 12 inches expected across central North Hampshire.</p>

<p>New York City was unlikely to see snow, Otto said, but may receive some ice mixed with rain. “It looks like they’ll be spared the worst of it,” he said.</p>

<p>Up to an inch of sleet was expected to accumulate in parts of northern Connecticut, southeastern Massachusetts and northern Rhode Island, while Portland, Maine, could receive up to 2 inches. In the Boston area and across southern New England, rain will turn into freezing rain, and then sleet, resulting in icy road conditions, the weather service said early Friday.</p>

<p>Continuing cold temperatures over the coming days were expected to keep the roads icy. More than 2,900 flights into, out of and within the United States had been canceled Friday, with the highest number of cancellations at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, Boston Logan International Airport and LaGuardia Airport in New York, according to Flight Aware.</p>

<p>“That sleet is going to be a bit more difficult to clean up because we’re not going to get much help from warm temperatures,” said Sarah Thunberg, a meteorologist with the weather service in Portland.</p>

<p>The winter storm warnings this week have affected more than 54 million people across the country, the weather service said. By Friday morning, the storm had knocked out power to more than 300,000 homes and businesses, primarily in Tennessee and Ohio.</p>

<p>In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott called the storm “one of the most significant icing events that we’ve had in the state of Texas in at least several decades.” As of Friday morning, 3 to 5 inches of snow had fallen on some areas north and west of Fort Worth, Texas, and roads in Central and North Texas were “very hazardous,” according to the weather service. “Avoid travel if at all possible.”</p>

<p>The arrival of single-digit temperatures, snow and sleet in North Texas came nearly a year after an eight-day freeze caused widespread power outages, plunging the state into darkness and claiming the lives of more than 240 people.</p>

<p>One person was killed in a tornado near Sawyerville, Alabama, south of Tuscaloosa, according to Russell Weeden, director of emergency management for Hale County. He told local reporters that eight people had been injured, including three critically.</p>

<p>In Memphis, Tennessee, ice began accumulating from a continuous freezing rain Thursday, leading to traffic crashes, downed trees and power outages. Ice storm warnings were issued farther east, including in parts of western Tennessee and Kentucky.</p>

<p>The situation on the highways was more dire in Illinois, where a portion of Interstate 57 was blocked for several hours Thursday after several tractor-trailers jackknifed.</p>
