Taal Volcano's possible eruption
If you are planning on a visit to the scenic Taal volcano, better hold it temporarily
because you might get caught by a possible eruption.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) has raised its warning level from 1 to 2 because of heard of hissing sounds, and temperature rising.
The beautiful Taal Volcano should not be missed by a tourist, but not at this time.
Its main crater is now off limits to the public because of a possible steam eruption and toxic build up.

Cyclone Phet, Tornado destruction

What is a cyclone and a tornado?
Cyclone
In meteorology, a cyclone is an area of closed, circular fluid motion rotating in the same direction as the Earth]. This is usually characterized by inward spiraling winds that rotate counter clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere of the Earth. Most large-scale cyclonic circulations are centered on areas of low atmospheric pressure. The largest low-pressure systems are cold-core polar cyclones and extratropical cyclones which lie on the synoptic scale. Warm-core cyclones such as tropical cyclones, mesocyclones, and polar lows lie within the smaller mesoscale. Subtropical cyclones are of intermediate size. Upper level cyclones can exist without the presence of a surface low, and can pinch off from the base of the Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough during the summer months in the Northern Hemisphere. Cyclones have also been seen on other planets outside of the Earth, such as Mars and Neptune.
Tornado
A tornado is a violent, rotating column of air which is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. The most intense of all atmospheric phenomena, tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes, but are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end touches the earth and is often encircled by a cloud of debris and dust. Most tornadoes have wind speeds between 40 mph (64 km/h) and 110 mph (177 km/h), are approximately 250 feet (75 m) across, and travel a few miles (several kilometers) before dissipating. The most extreme can attain wind speeds of more than 300 mph (480 km/h), stretch more than a mile (1.6 km) across, and stay on the ground for dozens of miles (more than 100 km)

Killing rampage in Cumbria England
What could have caused this gunman, Derrick Bird, a taxi driver, divorced, his two children moved out of home, and his ill mother in a nursing home, to go in a killing rampage? Could it be loneliness, no loving connection with the people he loved? So sad, this losing of connection with one's family.
Below is the story on the killing in Cumbria, England
London, England (CNN) -- Police on Thursday began identifying the victims of a series of drive-by shootings in northern England that left 12 people dead and 11 wounded before the gunman killed himself.
Authorities named one of the victims as local solicitor Kevin Commons, 60, who was a senior partner in the law firm KJ Commons and Co.
Cumbria Police said he was found dead in the driveway of his house in Frizington on Wednesday afternoon.
Queen Elizabeth issued condolences, saying she was "deeply shocked" by what happened.
"In asking you to pass my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to the families of all those who were killed or injured, and to the injured themselves, I am sure I share in the grief and horror of the whole country," the queen said.
Gun laws tightened after massacres
Police also released a map tracing the route that suspect Derrick Bird, 52, is believed to have traveled on his rampage through the region on Wednesday.The route begins near the village of Lamplugh and winds through Cumbria, taking in the seaside towns of Whitehaven and Seascale before ending up farther inland near Boot, in the Lake District.
Police lifted the cordons at most of the 30 separate crime scenes, but Bird's house in Rowrah, near Frizington, remained one of those roped off, they said.
Forensic experts were examining two weapons seized by police, a shotgun and a .22 rifle fitted with a telescopic sight. Police said Bird was a licensed firearms holder for 20 years and they were investigating whether the license covers the seized firearms.
"The focus of the 100-strong squad of detectives investigating the incident is firmly on finding out why someone would want to take so many lives in such a short space of time," Cumbria Police said in a statement. "Officers and staff are conducting forensic evidential searches and tests across the area at each location."
Police finished searching the known and possible routes Bird could have used -- an area covering 150 kilometers (93 miles) -- and said as a result they were not expecting to find any more victims.
Of the wounded, eight remained in hospitals Thursday, with four in stable and four in "comfortable" condition, police said.
Peter Leder, who described himself as a friend of Bird's, told CNN he spoke to Bird on Tuesday night and Bird told him, "You won't see me again."
Leder said Bird had been an independent taxi driver in Whitehaven for more than 20 years and described him as "an outgoing, well-known guy, who everyone liked." Bird was divorced several years ago and has two children, both boys, who had moved away from home, he said.
Bird is close to his mother, who is ill in a local nursing home, Leder said.
He said his friend enjoyed scuba diving, went on several diving trips abroad and practiced regularly at the Whitehaven swimming baths. Leder said he knew Bird had guns but said he was not violent.
The Citroen that police said Bird was driving at the time of the shootings was his regular cab, Leder said.
"I can't shed any light on it," Leder said. "... He was a decent guy, and I'm sorry for what's happened."
