On Sunday night, a tornado caused significant damage to at least a dozen homes in the Great Neck area just north of Virginia Beach, according to city officials. The storm struck the area around 6 p.m. local time, and no injuries were reported. Videos posted on social media showed debris being tossed into the air by the tornado, while Virginia Beach firefighters responded to reports of "major storm damage" and "multiple homes with gas leaks." Footage from the area revealed homes with completely torn off roofs. This tornado was the second to cause damage over the weekend, following one in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, which flipped vehicles and caused damage to homes.
AMOC Collapse Warning: Scientists Predict Climate Chaos by 2025 Understanding the AMOC: The Atlantic's Climate Engine The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a vast and complex system of ocean currents that transports warm waters from the tropics northward while returning cooler waters southward. Often described as a giant conveyor belt, the AMOC play a critical role in regulating global climate patterns , influencing everything from rainfall in Africa to winters in Europe. If this essential circulation were to collapse , the consequences could be catastrophic: prolonged droughts in parts of Africa, harsher winters in Northwestern Europe, rising sea levels along the U.S. eastern seaboard and intensified storms across the Atlantic. The AMOC is, in effect, one of the planet's climate stabilizers--its failure could tip ecosystems and societies into turmoil. New Research Signals an Urgent Threat For decades, scientists have monitored the AMOC, noting signs of gr...
