Six regions affected by the earthquake in Myanmar The two strong earthquakes that struck Myanmar, one of magnitude 7.7 followed by an aftershock of magnitude 6.4 with epicenter northwest of the city of Sagaing, would have caused significant damage in six regions in particular; there is talk of perhaps over one thousand and sixty victims with requests for international aid from the authorities of the country (where there have been bloody conflicts for power issues for some time), over three thousand and forty of injured and apparently many buildings collapsed with some saying that it will take time to get a real picture of the situation. There is also talk of children trapped in a partially collapsed monastery not far from Mandalay, the country's second city (where collapsed a children school). In neighboring Thailand a thirty-storey skyscraper under construction collapsed causing at least nine victims and people are also being searched for missing in the area affected by the collapse. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 29, 2025

 Heat wave on the Australian coral reef On the west coast of Australia in one of the most famous points of the coral reef, for the varied beauty of the colors and where whale sharks migrate, a wave of marine heat would have made the corals bleach. We speak in figurative terms of "boiling" of corals as the sea is warm, then the heat has not only affected the surface layers but also in depth and several species of corals, therefore with damage judged to be very serious and the worst bleaching since 2011. It should be noted, changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes, that the number of victims due to fires in South Korea has increased to twenty-four, bewilderment at the loss of the finely finished Gounsa temple in Uiseong, a cultural heritage of humanity and rich in historical artifacts; then some speak of an unprecedented crisis with entire areas of vegetation especially in the south-east of the country went up in smoke. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 27, 2025 n: 5909 Forest fires in South Korea At least four people would be killed and six injured due to a series of wildfires that have affected wooded areas in the south-east of the country, there is talk of damage to residential buildings, a temple; then over fifteen hundred people were evacuated to shelters after the fires burned about six thousand three hundred hectares of forest. More than nine thousand people were also involved in the flames supported by one hundred and five helicopters (three of the victims were firefighters), with difficulty in extinguishing the flames due to rather dry vegetation and wind. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues dozens of evacuations due to flooding in areas of central Spain and in the north of the country, it seems that a historic bridge collapsed, then barriers were set up in Toledo; water released from the El Pardo reserve as a precaution. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 24, 2025 n: 5906 Global warning systems for climate disasters It is urgently necessary to equip ourselves with warning systems in the event of sudden climate disasters capable of guaranteeing coverage of the entire planet, at least according to a report by international organizations that underline how last year hundreds of thousands of people were forced to leave their homes to escape extreme weather events. The data concerning climate disasters would have been collected and monitored since 2008, these data do not only concern economically disadvantaged countries as happened for example in Mozambique where about one hundred thousand people were evacuated due to cyclone "Chido", but also countries that enjoy relative wealth as happened in Spain in Valencia where two hundred and twenty-four people lost their lives due to floods and Canada and the United States affected by devastating fires. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 20, 2025 n: 5903 Vertical wing of aircraft on experimental cargo ship To reduce fuel consumption and therefore pollutant emissions a vertical wing of an aircraft was mounted on the bow of a cargo ship on an experimental voyage from England to Canada, according to the designers it works by accelerating the wind air passing through its surface to propel the ship with a technological aerodynamic system already used in the sports field for very fast vehicles and boats. This is a project promoted by the British administration that is part of a maritime decarbonization program, the ship must be modified by adding an imposing and heavy steel structure and seven and a half kilometers of electrical cables as well as finding space for the vertical wing, then it will also be necessary to mount cameras, additional lights, various components and radar to remedy the loss of visibility from the deck of the ship. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 18, 2025 n: 5901 Tornadoes in several states in the Midwest of U.S. There would be dozens of victims (over thirty) due to violent tornadoes due to an atmospheric low pressure system that affected Missouri and Mississippi in particular in the United States, we are talking about at least twenty-five vortices some so strong as to overturn heavy vehicles that left a trail of destruction in their passage sometimes almost razing houses to the ground and uprooting trees, leaving a large number of debris on the ground, dust storms; then the authorities also evacuated hundreds of people. It seems that in March it is not unusual for strong tornadoes to occur, but the damage monitored is truly remarkable. Shifting attention to Italy to report that some locations in Emilia Romagna and Tuscany regions are still flooded after the recent wave of bad weather, although the situation is improving and damage is being monitored. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 17, 2025 n: 5900 Earthquake shock at Campi Flegrei and Pozzuoli A magnitude 4.4 earthquake with its epicenter in Pozzuoli in the sea about two and a half kilometers off the seafront has caused rubble to fall and there is also talk of one injured by the collapse of a false ceiling; then damage to a church, some parked cars and panic for the inhabitants who poured into the streets despite the rain. The quake is due to the phenomenon of bradyseism in the Campi Flegrei and also affected peripheral areas of Naples where it was distinctly felt and caused the buildings to sway, from the monitored data it would be the strongest in forty years and of the same magnitude but more prolonged than that of May 20, 2024. The resident population sometimes requires the setting up of tents because living with earthquakes and seismic swarms as easily understandable is not easy and makes it difficult to live in the place. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 13, 2025 n: 5897 Floods in the city of Bahia Blanca in Argentina Sixteen victims of the floods that hit the city of Bahia Blanca, a large city located in the south of the city of Buenos Aires in Argentina, there is talk of divers looking for some missing; in fact, entire neighborhoods were flooded by a storm with a large amount of water raining down in a few hours. The coastal area was left without electricity supply and in Bahia Blanca itself the power had been cut off as a precaution. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues to report the danger of pollution off the coast of Yorkshire in England due to the leakage of hydrocarbons for aircraft from the damaged tank of a ship (apparently stationary anchored) that collided with a cargo ship forcing the partial evacuation of the crew on board, one missing person and dozens of injured. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 11, 2025 n: 5895 A cyclone approaches Brisbane in Australia A rare tropical cyclone called "Alfred" is approaching the densely populated east coast of Australia and in particular threatens Brisbane, the third most populated city in the country; there is talk of emergency warnings with hundreds of schools closed and danger of flooding for thousands of homes. Torrential rainfall and potentially destructive gusts of wind are expected, then high waves on the coasts and in the city of Brisbane alone a forecast model warns that almost twenty thousand homes could be flooded. Sandbags have been distributed to defend against any flooding and supermarket shelves are often partially empty to accumulate stock. While cyclones are quite frequent in tropical waters and therefore quite warm it is rare for them to form in colder waters and therefore in this case it would be the first since 1974. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 06, 2025 n: 5891 Damage on the Reunion island hit by a cyclone The island of La Reunion in the Indian Ocean in French overseas territory was recently lashed by cyclone "Garance" which caused damage, uncovering roofs, uprooting trees and leaving tens of thousands of users without electricity and water; then there is talk of at least two victims and inconvenience for the population. Torrential rainfall turned the streets into torrents of flooding water that swept over cars and dragged debris, some people said they were frightened by the force of the cyclone. It should be noted, changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues, that the melting of the Antarctic ice could slow down the circumpolar current, at least from the results of a study that simulated a scenario with high greenhouse gas emissions over the next twenty-five years with an Australian supercomputer. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 04, 2025 n: 5889 Various and natural * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
