A strong phreatic eruption started at Mount Agung, Bali, Indonesia at 09:30 UTC (17:30 WIB) on Saturday, November 25, 2017. This is the second eruption of this volcano since Tuesday, November 21. Although significantly stronger, the Alert Level remains at second highest (III / standby) and the Aviation Color Code at Orange.

Today's eruption is more than twice as high as last Tuesday's. At 15:00 UTC, ash column was rising up to 6 km (20 000 feet) above sea level and drifting W/SW, according to the Darwin VAAC.

A destructive tornado ripped through a densely populated area of East Java province, Indonesia at 08:30 UTC (15:30 WIB) on Wednesday, November 22, 2017, injuring at least 35 people and damaging more than 600 homes. This is the third damaging tornado to hit the country within two weeks and comes after three waterspouts were spotted in waters off the Thousand Islands on October 23, a phenomenon rarely seen in the tropics. Yesterday's event brings the total number of homes damaged by tornadoes in Indonesia within 10 days close to 700. 

According to Dwidjo Prawito of Indonesia's disaster mitigation agency told Reuters that the tornado had wind speeds of more than 70 km/h (35 mph) and was on the ground for about 5 minutes, carving a path of destruction in Tambakrejo Village in the Sidoarja regency, south of the country's second-biggest city of Surabaya.

At least 35 people were injured and more than 600 homes damaged,

Following rare M5.4 earthquake on September 12, 2017, southeastern Republic of Korea was hit by another M5.4 on November 15, making these the two largest earthquakes to hit the country since Global CMT and USGS ANSS catalogs began recording in 1977. At least 58 aftershocks hit the region by late November 20. Because three nuclear reactors are located within 12 km (7 miles) from the Yangsan Fault, responsible for these quakes, experts suggest that further investigation by the national authorities would now be prudent.

The November 15^th M5.4 quake struck 9.3 km (5.8 miles) WNW of the industrial city of Pohang (population 500 000) at 05:29 UTC at a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles). The USGS issued green alert for shaking-related fatalities and yellow for economic losses. The quake was felt across much of the country including in the capital Seoul.

Following a M4.6 earthquake that hit just NE of Gonzales, California on November 13, 2017, the USGS has registered more than 130 aftershocks within the 5 km (3.1 miles) of the epicenter. Although most of those aftershocks weren't felt by the Central Coast, the aftershock sequence is raising fears a large earthquake is about to strike the region.

This one has been a quite productive aftershock sequence, but only 17 were stronger than M2.5 and six were greater than 3.0,  USGS seismologist Ole Kaven said. "We suspect there will be aftershocks in the 2 to 3 magnitude range for at least a few more weeks, but smaller shakers could continue for even longer."

"Last Monday's quake occurred on a "creeping section" of the San Andreas Fault, so seismic activity in the area is normal," Kaven said.  "It's a reminder that we are living in earthquake country."

Heavy rain is wreaking havoc across Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, November 21, 2017, stranding drivers on flooded roads and delaying school classes at least until Thursday. 

The Centre for Crises and Disasters in Makkah Region closed a number of roads in Jeddah on Tuesday due to heavy thunderstorms accompanied by active winds that limited vision, Gulf News reported.

The National Centre for Security Operations at the Ministry of the Interior received 10 902 calls by "911" operations in Makkah from the beginning of the rain until noon on Tuesday. The center said that most of the calls were to inquire about the roads and streets that could be used for traffic and added that the Civil Defence dealt with 241 rescue cases.

Several flights were delayed this morning, Saudi Airlines said. Passengers were told to contact airline companies for more information.

The education district in Jeddah and Makkah shut down schools and colleges ahead of the storm, saying they won't reopen at least until Thursday, November 23.

The Directorate of Civil Defense warned residents to strictly avoid going down to the valley or approaching floodwaters. "Move away from places that are usually flooded and avoid going near wadis and riverbanks."

A new strong explosion occurred at Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano at about 04:52 UTC on Saturday, November 25, 2017 (22:52 local time, November 24). The event follows two strong explosions at 23:12 and 23:54 UTC on Friday and the strongest eruption at this volcano since 2013 at 20:13 UTC (14:13 local time) on Thursday.

Mexico's National Center for Disaster Prevention (CENAPRED) said the 04:52 UTC explosion ejected incandescent material that was deposited up to 1 km (0.62 miles) from the edge of the crater. The eruption produced a column of ash that exceeded a height of 2.5 km (8 200 feet) above the crater and drifted to the SSE. The volcanic alert level remains at Yellow.

The eruptive column reached a height of 8.5 km (28 000 feet) by 05:52 UTC, the Washingon VAAC said 06:40 UTC. "Imagery shows the new emission of volcanic ash is moving SSE at 18 - 28 km/h (11 - 17 mph)," the center said.

Ashfall was reported in the municipalities of Tianguismalanco, Atzizhuacan, and Huaquechula

OK, it happened I got it right. What were you expecting?

Argue about it as you will I don't concern me with sorrow. There is no time, another is on the way so get ready. A quick run through and I'm away:

First of all, the title is based on the creation of a phenomena out of nothing. What the eye doesn't see the MetOffice doesn't grieve for.

I already explained what happened.
And below you can see how the Lows suck hard on the next anticyclone they get their gums into:

And here is what I think happens:

Talk about flash.

 

And here is what it is likely to do next:

It starts out with nothing and it ends with nothing but in between it holds news of the next swarms. Here's the deal:

The anticyclones are doing their best to block it but the lows eventually eat their way though and make a queen bee. Then things start BUZZING.
And by the way, see if you noticed a delta up at the top of the page:

A great river of air up in the Davies Straight. Damn the tornadoes, full speed ahead. Lets get this show on the rows. Creation hasn't stopped working cause that's what creators do.

Take a look at the biggest doughnut: http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/charts/viewer/index.shtml?type=mslp-precip&tz=UTC&area=SH&model=G&chartSubmit=Refresh+View

What do you suppose a ring this size looks like from Jupiter as all the trapped anticyclones eat their way out?
That's it for now maybe some more when I think of it. Try and call the mountain out?
Maybe Bogoslof. If I keep saying that, I have to get it right eventually, right?
