Keep driving! Jeep speeds past seafront as huge waterspout heads inland

Daily Mail: 'It may have looked like something out of a disaster movie - but the Jeep driver passing through was probably under no illusions to the very real threat posed by this gigantic waterspout. The amazing natural phenomenon, which is created when tornadoes form above the sea, was spotted earlier today along the shoreline near Batemans Bay, which is 140 miles (225km) south of Sydney. Also known as 'water twisters', they form when layers of cool air blowing over the water cause warm, moist air to sweep up from underneath, which then creates a swirling column of condensation. They can move as fast as 80 miles an hour and inside winds can spiral from 60 to 120 miles an hour. Out on the water, they can cause considerable damage to coral reefs and marine life and pose a very real threat to boats, aircraft and swimmers...read more>>>...

Frankenstorm Hurricane Sandy Caused by HAARP?

The Atlantean Conspiracy: The so-called "Frankenstorm" hurricane Sandy that rocked the American East Coast this week leaving homes destroyed and millions powerless may have more in common with Frankenstein than the mainstream media has let on.

Have a look at these videos to see exactly how HAARP and chemtrails were used to cause hurricane Sandy to increase in power and change direction...read more>>>...

Manhattan goes dark + + 6 MILLION without power + + 16 dead as Superstorm Sandy throws a 13 foot wall of water at US coast

Daily Mail: 'New York City looks like the set of a disaster movie this morning after a night of being battered by Superstorm Sandy. It hit the mainland at 6.30pm local time last night having laid waste to large parts of the coast during the day. The US city shut its mass transit system, schools, the stock exchange and Broadway, and ordered hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers to leave home to get out of the way as Sandy zeroed in. A 13ft wall of water caused by the storm surge and high tides resulted in severe flooding to subways and road tunnels. Torrents of water poured into building works at Ground Zero, cars were swept down streets and power was cut across lower Manhattan in a bid to minimise damage to infrastructure. Superstorm Sandy knocked out power to at least 6.2million people across the US East, and large sections of Manhattan were plunged into darkness by the storm, with 250,000 customers without power as water pressed into the island from three sides, flooding rail yards, subway tracks, tunnels and roads. New York City's 911 dispatchers were receiving 20,000 calls per hour. An extraordinary 24 hours saw what was originally classed as a hurricane close in and converge with a cold-weather system that turned it into a superstorm - a monstrous hybrid consisting not only of rain and high wind, but also snow.Sandy smacked the boarded-up big cities of the Northeast corridor, from Washington and Baltimore to Philadelphia, New York and Boston, with stinging rain and gusts of 85mph. Sixteen deaths were reported in New Jersey, New York, Maryland, North Carolina, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Connecticut...read more>>>...
