    China: Waterspout Spotted Over Qinghai Lake

    On October 9, 2024, a spectacular natural phenomenon was captured over Qinghai Lake in Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, located in northwestern China’s Qinghai Province. In the video, a thick layer of clouds hovered in the sky while a massive column of water shot straight from the lake's surface toward the clouds. This rare event, known as a waterspout, resembled a giant dragon playing in the water, as if linking the lake to the sky. Waterspouts are a type of tornado that forms over water, featuring a rapidly rotating funnel of wind driven by intense low pressure. The breathtaking scene left Chinese onlookers in awe of nature’s power and beauty.

      Huge Fire In Philippines Engulfed Nearly 800 Homes, Displacing Families

      Children help remove the debris of damaged houses following a huge fire that engulfs at least 800 houses in Bacoor, Cavite, the Philippines, on September 12, 2024. The fire breaks out in the early hours of September 10 and displaces nearly 1,000 families, with many living in poverty being forced to take shelter in nearby evacuation centers where assistance and relief efforts are given to the affected people. The accident occurs in a densely populated compound, where houses mainly made of iron sheets, wood, and combustible materials are built within narrow streets, which, according to local media reports, makes it difficult for rescuers to conduct emergency operations. This is one of the major fire disasters that make Filipinos homeless this year. Past research and reports by NGOs find that heightened electricity, straining power lines, as well as combustible materials such as dry leaves, grass, and garbage which are susceptible to ignition from sun exposure or discarded cigarettes, are some of the reasons why
