The Washington Post reported that Mike Weaver, a lieutenant for the Libertyville Fire Department, is the one who posted the video. He was there on Saturday watching his son play ball when it happened. You hear him on the video saying, “tornado timeout.”
Weaver said the dust devil lasted just a couple of minutes and then was gone.

May 30, 2018 - Farmer Finds Himself Surrounded by 3 Tornadoes After Truck Gets Stuck in Field
Farmer Finds Himself Surrounded by 3 Tornadoes After Truck Gets Stuck in Field
COPE, Colo. — A farmer feels grateful to be alive after he was forced to lay in a ditch when he found himself surrounded by three tornadoes Monday.
Aaron Brown told KDVR he was out finishing work in his field near Cope, on the eastern plains of Colorado, when he saw the weather around him take a turn.
“The storm was coming up pretty quick,” said Brown.

“It was pretty intense.” This farmer says he was surrounded by tornados yesterday when his truck got stuck in the sand. He and three other people hid in a ditch as he watched tornados touch down around him. He spotted three total — two are in this video he shared with us. #KDVR
4:19 PM - May 29, 2018
Brown and three others tried to drive to safety, but their truck was stuck in the sand in the field. He watched as a tornado touched down in front of him. He turned around to see two more tornadoes on the other side of his truck. The group of four ran to a dry river bank because it was the lowest and safest place they could get to.
“It was pretty intense. I was pretty scared,” said Brown.
Eventually, the threat passed, and Brown and his crew walked away unscathed.
“God is good. That’s all I can say. We were very lucky and blessed,” said Brown.
In Cope, the Hill’s garage was destroyed during the severe storm. The Hill family was in Greeley when it hit and they found out the extent of the damage when a neighbor called to alert them that their garage was pressed against their house.
“We are cleaning up, hoping to rebuild. See what the insurance says and go from there,” said Linda Hill.
On Monday, they spent the day cleaning up and sorting through the debris. “Very overwhelming,” said Linda Hill.
The National Weather Service said there were 14 tornadoes reported between 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. in Colorado. The experts were working to confirm the actual number of tornadoes that formed during the severe weather outbreak.

The waterfront city of Qingdao, in eastern China, was struck by a severe storm Wednesday marked by strong winds, thunderstorms and hail, causing serious flooding and a number of broken trees. That wasn’t all though: Chinese social media has also been flooded with an influx of images of sea creatures dumped into the city with the storm.

Seafood Delivery? Storm Drops Sea Creatures on Coastal Chinese City (PHOTOS)
Photos circulating the web in China show people's windshields struck by everything from falling tree limbs to falling shrimps, starfish and even an octopus.
There's no word yet on whether the mythical chinese sea monster Gonggong has made an appearance. Or perhaps Qingdao city officials should have tried to summon Tam Kung, a god of old who has the power to… forecast weather.
Social media users shared videos they said showed fish swimming down Qingdao streets. The flooding got so bad that residents' cars can be seen mostly submerged in the water.
It was probably a good day to stay home for dinner. Seafood soup, anyone?
15.06.2018 - Dozens of Flights Cancelled as Dust Storm Catches North India Off Guard
Dozens of Flights Cancelled as Dust Storm Catches North India off Guard
The Indian government has issued an alert in view of severe dust pollution in Delhi and other north Indian states. In Delhi, emergency measures like stoppage of all civil construction activities have been made effective till June 17.
New Delhi (Sputnik): Sand blown from deserts of the western part of the country enveloped northern India for the fourth consecutive day; taking air pollution hazardous levels. More than seven thousands air travelers could not reach their desired destinations as dozens of domestic and international flight from Chandigarh and nearby airports remain suspended for the second consecutive day.
As per Skymet Weather, this layer of dust and sand is not a very unusual phenomenon and it usually happens during the pre-monsoon season though it is the intensity, spread and duration of the dusty weather that varies.
"At present, the situation is deteriorating over parts of Northwest India while Delhi is just on the fringes of this type of weather conditions. The reason for the sandy skies over the national capital and its adjoining boundaries can be attributed to the dust and sand particles being transported from the hotter regions of Rajasthan and Pakistan," Skymet, a private weather forecast agency said.
The dusty weather has made visibility poor across north India resulting in the cancellation of 32 flights on Friday from the Chandigarh airport.
"The visibility was around 2000 meter during the day. It improved to 3000 meters by 3.30 pm (Indian Standard Time). The weather was hazy," Surender Paul, Director, Met Department, Chandigarh, said.
Levels of PM10 — dust and larger particles with a diameter of 10 micrometers — exceeded 900 per cubic meter in parts of Delhi and over 700 per cubic meter on Thursday. The WHO considers 50 900 per cubic meter the maximum safe level for PM10. The weather department has noticed a considerable jump in carcinogenic matters in the last three days and they expect it reducing only after rain over this weekend

Sorry, wasn't really sure where to Post this, so if it needs to be moved, please do so?
Last Monday, I got a call from my younger Brother, who happened to be in Miami, Florida for a business meeting. In passing, he mentioned going to the beach but couldn't go in the water because of all the jellyfish. I didn't think, much more about the conversation until I came across this report ....
June 13, 2018 - More Than 800 Stung By Jellyfish Along Florida Beaches (Video)
More Than 800 Stung By Jellyfish Along Florida Beaches
More than 800 people were stung by jellyfish along the Central Florida coast over the span of three days. A spike in moon jellyfish stings has kicked off summer in a painful way.
Lifeguards treated 107 jellyfish stings Saturday, and a staggering 523 on Sunday. Add to that 180 by the end of Monday and it brings the total to 837 stings over three days.
Tammy Malphurs, spokeswoman for Volusia County Beach Safety, was unsure of the highest number of stings, but said the weekend was not the most the beaches have ever seen.
“It’s not a record, but it’s definitely a high number,” Malphurs told CNN.
The appearance of large numbers of jellyfish isn’t uncommon. They appear on beaches once or twice a year when wind and currents push them to shore, Malphurs said.
One of the unlucky ones who was bitten over the weekend us Tonya Kronk, of Daytona Beach, Florida. It was a first for her, and the injuries were “pretty bad,” she said.
“I took my body board out past the sand bar and it wasn’t five minutes before I got stung,” Kronk told CNN. “I went to catch a wave and it just kinda stuck to my leg, it was wrapped around it and I couldn’t get it off fast enough.”
What you can do
Malphurs encouraged swimmers to pay close attention to beach conditions, like colored flags that denote different ocean conditions.
Many Florida beaches over the weekend flew purple flags warning swimmers of “Dangerous Marine Life,” she said.
If you are stung, seek medical attention right away.
While jellyfish stings can be painful, they are relatively easy to treat with white vinegar, which lifeguards usually have on hand.

Sports radio broadcaster dies after being swept away by floodwaters in Iowa (Videos)
Sports radio broadcaster dies after being swept away by floodwaters in Iowa
A sports radio broadcaster died when he stepped out of a stalled van and was swept away by a raging flashflood in Iowa, officials said.
The torrential rainstorm struck Saturday night in the Midwest, bringing more than 7 inches of rain in just a few hours to Des Moines, and triggering dozens of water rescues and evacuations, authorities said.
One of the rescue calls was for people stranded in a van on a flooded street in Des Moines about 8:50 p.m. local time, according to police.
"As officers responded, it was reported that the occupants had left the van and that one person, a 66-year-old male Des Moines resident, had been swept away in the flash-flood waters," Sgt. Paul Parizek, of the Des Moines Police Department, said in a statement.
The man's body was recovered at 12:39 a.m. Sunday, several blocks from where the van stalled, Parizek said.
He was identified Sunday morning as Larry Bruce Cotlar, a local sports radio broadcaster who hosted the weekly radio show "Cotlar and Company" on 1350 ESPN in Iowa. He was also the play-by-play announcer for Drake University men's basketball games.
"All of us at 1350 ESPN and the Des Moines Radio group are devastated by the loss of our voice, our colleague, and our friends, Larry Cotlar," the radio station said in a statement Sunday. "Larry was the voice of sports in Central Iowa.
"Today, our thoughts are with his wife, Deb, and their son, Zach. There is absolutely no replacing Larry. He will be thought of fondly and missed greatly by his family, friends, and his extended families in the sports and broadcasting communities."
Storms were still moving through parts of the Midwest Sunday, with additional flash flooding possible.
The powerful rainstorm caused the Des Moines River to overflow in some parts and flood nearby roads. Police in Pleasant Hill, Iowa, posted a short video on Facebook showing Mile Creek, which cuts through the city, running dangerously fast and high. Officials advised local residents to stay off roads in the area until the water subsided.
Slow-moving thunderstorms in the Midwest brought torrential rain to central Iowa on Saturday night, including 7.3 inches of rain in just a few hours, causing widespread flash flooding in Des Moines.
More storms are expected Sunday afternoon from Illinois to Michigan to Wisconsin, with damaging winds, large hail and brief tornadoes possible.
Two to 4 inches of rain is possible from northern Iowa to Wisconsin, with any slow-moving storm capable of bringing flash flooding.

Siberia going biblical? ‘Blood rain’ pours down on Russian parking lot (PHOTOS)
Edited time: 3 Jul, 2018 14:00
Car owners in Siberia could be forgiven for thinking a biblical plague had descended upon their city, after finding their vehicles soaked by blood-colored rain in a Norilsk parking lot.
Photos of the phenomenon showed the parking lot and cars coated in brownish-red residue from the rain. But the owner was quick to reassure everyone there’s no calamity in store for the city. According to him, blood-red water was simply colored by rust from the roof of a nearby workshop. The parking lot in Siberia’s major industrial center is located next to a metal plant.
Norilsk Nikel, the company that owns the Nadezhdinsk plant, said people had nothing to fear. A spokesperson for the company told TASS news agency that they conducted a probe and established the cause of the incident.
“Saturday, June 30, the roof of the first elemental sulfur shop was cleaned along with the rest of the territory. The collected reddish dust was prepared for disposal, but has not been disposed of until today. A gust of wind blew it over the parking lot while the rain caused it to fall,” the spokesperson said.

Record 36 605 lightning strikes in a day, large hail destroys homes, cars and crops, France
Posted by TW on July 05, 2018: Numerous Tweets and Videos
Violent thunderstorms hit parts of southwestern France on July 4, 2018, producing a total of 36 605 lightning strikes in 24 hours. This is the worst day in terms of lightning strikes in France so far this, breaking the previous record of 33 841 strikes recorded on May 28, 2018, according to Meteo France.
In just four days (July 1 - 4), Meteo France registered approximately 87 000 lightning strikes across the country, which represents more than half of the 'normal' July lightning strikes.
28 departments were placed on Orange alert, the second highest warning: Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Hautes-Pyrénées, Haute-Garonne, Ariège, Landes, Gers, Gironde, Lot-et-Garonne, Tarn-et-Garonne, Tarn, Aveyron, Lot, Dordogne, Charente, Charente-Maritime, Haute-Vienne, Corrèze, Cantal, Indre, Creuse, Puy-de-Dôme, Haute-Loire, Loire, Allier, Cher, Nièvre, Saône-et-Loire and Rhône
The storms followed a period of hot and humid weather, with maximum temperatures between 30 °C and 33 °C (86 - 91.4 °F). "It will be very sudden and often violent with wind gusts often reaching 80 km/h - 100 km/h (50 - 62 mph) and 130 km/h (81 mph) locally," Meteo France said before the storm.

Japan on Thursday ordered the evacuation of thousands of residents from the outskirts of its ancient capital of Kyoto after “historic” rains battered its western region, killing a man, with yet more rain forecast.
About 160,000 people were advised to evacuate across the region as weather officials warned that rain levels they described as “historic” could continue until Sunday.
“Severe caution is needed,” an official of Japan’s Meteorological Agency (JMA) told a news conference, warning of the potential for landslides and high winds.
A 59-year-old construction worker died in the western prefecture of Hyogo after being sucked into a drainage pipe, and two more were injured as they rushed to his rescue, NHK national television said, Reuters reported.
The heavy rains were brought by a rush of humid air from the south and the remnants of a typhoon this week.
By Thursday afternoon, rainfall of about 457 mm (18 inches) had been recorded in some parts of the smallest main island of Shikoku over the last two days, with up to 400 mm (16 inches) more predicted in some areas in the next 24 hours.
