Why Did Ancient Chinese See Earthquakes as Heavenly Messages?

In ancient times, earthquakes in China were interpreted as celestial indicators of improper governance. Additionally, China led the way globally in earthquake detection techniques. <p> On March 28, 2025, around midday, a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit the area close to Mandalay in central Myanmar, soon after which a secondary shock with a magnitude of 6.7 rattled the region. </p> <p> In mere moments, social media platforms and the web were flooded with videos of the earthquake Many of which started in Bangkok, Thailand, approximately 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) away from the earthquake's epicenter. </p> <p> We witnessed terrifying sights of swaying high-rise buildings, water pouring down from rooftop pools, and panicked individuals in the streets of Thailand’s main city. </p> <p> Are you looking for insights into the most significant issues and developments globally? Find your answers here. SCMP Knowledge Our latest platform features handpicked content including explainers, FAQs, analyses, and infographics, all presented by our prize-winning crew. </p> <p> A structure that was still being built close to the well-known Chatuchak Weekend Market fell down, resulting in many workers dying and getting stuck beneath the debris. </p> <div class="image-inline-container"> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CknPP" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CknPP.jpg"/> </div> <p> Videos coming out of Myanmar were slower in reaching international audiences, yet once they did, the extent of the destruction was truly heart-wrenching to witness. </p> <p> As of April 4, the death toll in Myanmar exceeded 3,300, with hundreds unaccounted for, while 22 fatalities were reported across in neighboring Thailand. </p> <p> Prior to modern scientific understanding of moving tectonic plates, ancient Chinese people thought that earthquakes served as celestial alerts caused either by political unrest or an errant leader. According to them, the cosmos functioned based on a fine equilibrium between yin and yang forces; thus, whenever this harmony was disrupted, tremors occurred beneath our feet. </p> <p> Consider the earthquake in 780 BC, occurring during the second year of King You’s rule over the Western Zhou dynasty. This seismic event took place close to what was then China's capital city, Xi'an, located within today's Shaanxi Province. The king's astronomer interpreted this natural disaster as an omen indicating potential unrest threatening the governing regime. </p> <p> As per his view, the intense, inactive yin force had overwhelmed the vibrant, dynamic yang force, causing an imbalance that made the Earth shake in objection. </p> <div class="image-inline-container"> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Ckal7" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Ckal7.jpg"/> </div> <p> King You gained notoriety for his lack of wisdom. To entertain his favorite concubine, Bao Si, he notoriously staged fake alarms about enemy invasions. This act eventually led him to be associated with an excessive amount of yin energy. In 771 BC, western tribes known as nomads launched an assault on the Western Zhou capital. During this invasion, they managed to kill King You, seize valuables, and take prisoners before retreating. </p> <p> The collapse of the Western Zhou dynasty, which happened nine lengthy years following the significant seismic event, served as confirmation for numerous people of the royal astrologer’s explanation regarding the earthquake in 780 BC. </p> <p> In 30 BC, a solar eclipse and an earthquake happened on the same day. A courtier advised Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty that these dual omens were due to fierce rivalry amongst the emperor’s concubines, which generated an overabundance of yin energy. </p> <p> Internal conflicts within the royal household triggered turmoil in governance, causing the influence of different concubines’ clans to wax and wane based on their favor with the emperor. Swapping out one powerful clan for another frequently led to violence and disorder. </p> <div class="image-inline-container"> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CkeBW" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CkeBW.jpg"/> </div> <p> However, despite their reliance on supernatural explanations, the ancient Chinese surpassed much of the world in earthquake detection and documentation. The ingenious inventor Zhang Heng (AD 78–139), from the Eastern Han era, developed the world’s first seismoscope. Although this early device didn’t elucidate the reasons behind earthquakes, it was capable of identifying remote seismic activities. </p> <p> Skipping ahead to the early Qing dynasty, an extensive earthquake occurred during the rule of Emperor Shunzhi (1644-1661). Several officials stepped down from their positions due to feelings of culpability, believing that poor management under their watch might have provoked divine wrath, leading to this calamity. </p> <p> However, Shunzhi held himself accountable, acknowledging that he might have erred and requesting his ministers' assistance to enhance himself. </p> <p> Theories regarding earthquakes during premodern China might not align with contemporary scientific understanding, yet they provide valuable insights into past perspectives. These quakes weren’t seen as mere accidents; instead, they were considered celestial warnings against poor governance and unjust periods, indicating significant transformations on the horizon. </p> <p> This being said, numerous individuals globally continue to opt for supernatural or religious interpretations when explaining natural disasters. For them, this is the sole means to comprehend the devastation and loss these events bring about. </p> <p> More Articles from SCMP </p> <p> Jeju Island in South Korea remains uneasy due to an increase in crime with the significant influx of returning Chinese tourists. </p> <p> Who is Pierce Brosnan’s granddaughter, Isabella Smith, who keeps out of the spotlight? She is the offspring of Charlotte Brosnan and was recently seen at the MobLand launch event alongside her famous Bond actor grandfather. </p> <p> Which funny person is Katherine Ryan married to? Her spouse, Bobby Kootstra—who she used to have a crush on back in high school—is in the broadcasting field. They're bringing up three kids as parents. </p> <p> Despite the impact of the Trump effect, Hong Kong continues to anticipate a windfall from upcoming initial public offerings. </p> <p> The article initially appeared on the South ChinaMorning Post (www.scmp.com), which is the premier source for news coverage of China andAsia. </p> <p> Copyright © 2025.

発生確率80% “南海トラフ”巨大地震 最新被害想定 沿岸で最大５メートルの津 波 意識を変えて減災を【福岡発】

Live Updates: Extreme Storms Rip Through Midwest and South, Uprooting Roofs and Toppling Trucks

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/video/AA1Cb6WW" data-reference="video"/> <p> Severe weather is ripping roofs off buildings, blowing over semitrailers and flooding roadways in parts of several states including Missouri, Illinois, Michigan and Indiana. </p> <p> The rare "high risk" threat continues into tonight, with a tornado outbreak likely in parts of the Midwest and South. </p> <p> Follow the latest forecast here . </p> <p> People in the path of this system should remain vigilant and prepared, as these storms could lead to widespread destruction. </p> <p> Here are the latest updates: </p> <h2> (07:28 p.m. EDT) Potential Danger In Cape Girardeau, Missouri </h2> <p> From weather.com digital meteorologist Jonathan Belles: Seems like we're seeing at least the beginning of an uptick in tornado potential. We have another confirmed tornado west of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Might spell trouble for that city soon. </p> <h2> (07:19 p.m. EDT) Photos Show Damage In Southern Missouri </h2> <p> Earlier, local news reported possible tornado damage in Potosi, Missouri, about 57 miles southwest of St. Louis. Photos shared on social media show what appears to be at least one structure destroyed and a truck damaged. </p> <div> <span data-embed-id="5105a9e22d13455c97cbb6dc12a4d12e" data-embed-type="social-auto"> </span> </div> <h2> (07:03 p.m. EDT) Parts Of Tennessee, Arkansas In The Crosshairs Right Now </h2> <p> From weather.com digital meteorologist Jonathan Belles: A storm heading into Memphis, Tennessee, right now could develop into a tornadic supercell . There could also be some rotation around Diaz, Arkansas. </p> <h2> (06:53 p.m. EDT) West Virginians Warned To Stay Weather Aware </h2> <p> Gov. Patrick Morrisey declared a “state of preparedness” and is encouraging residents to pay close attention to the weather in the coming days. </p> <p> Here’s why, from weather.com on camera meteorologist Danielle Banks : </p> <p> Unfortunately, West Virginia faces a lot of severe weather at the moment. For tonight going into early tomorrow, some storms could produce damaging winds, large hail and perhaps a tornado or two. Those close to the border of southeastern Ohio could see damaging winds in excess of 75 mph. Tomorrow, there are similar threats, but the Storm Prediction Center is quick to point out that the exact location of the threats remains uncertain at this time. </p> <h2> (06:38 p.m. EDT) Car Crushed By Tree In Louisville, Kentucky </h2> <p> A tree crashed down on a car on a road in Louisville, Kentucky, this afternoon, according to WAVE-TV. The station reported the driver was transported to a local hospital. </p> <div> <span data-embed-id="4bd02306a973486883ed8728c6ee1629" data-embed-type="social-auto"> </span> </div> <h2> (06:28 p.m. EDT) Tornadoes Can Hit Anywhere, Anytime </h2> <p> From weather.com with TV meteorologists Danielle Banks : </p> <p> Tornadoes show no preference when it comes to striking rural regions or urban centers. However, these whirlwinds tend to gain a reputation for frequently affecting less dense areas due to their vast expanses of open space. Despite looking like small dots from an aerial view, heavily inhabited metropolitan areas remain just as susceptible to tornado damage. Remember, tornadoes are natural phenomena capable of occurring at any location. </p> <h2> (06:12 p.m. EDT) EF-1 Tornado Causes Damage in Oklahoma </h2> <p> Latest update from the National Weather Service for Tulsa, Oklahoma: </p> <p> “Our survey team has found high-end EF1 tornado damage that occurred this morning in the Owasso area, with estimated winds around 100-110 mph. More details will be forthcoming later.” </p> <p> Owasso is on the northeast side of Tulsa. </p> <p> Photos and video shared from there earlier today showed homes damaged and trees down.. </p> <div> <span data-embed-id="b691c1d769b54d42a3e29d561a3a7ccb" data-embed-type="social-auto"> </span> </div> <h2> (05:58 p.m. EDT) Heads Up, Little Rock </h2> <p> From weather.com digital meteorologist Jonathan Belles : The next bigger city to interact with the squall line is Little Rock. The line is currently warned for both flash flooding and severe thunderstorms (including both wind and hail). Heavier rain will come over the next half hour or so. </p> <h2> (05:48 p.m. EDT) Rotation In Memphis, Tennessee, Area </h2> <p> From weather.com senior digital meteorologist Jonathan Belles : Tornado warnings around Memphis, Tennessee, are radar-indicated, but two of the three storms are still spinning quite a bit. Just no confirmation of current touchdowns right now. </p> <h2> (05:31 p.m. EDT) Damage Reported Southwest Of St. Louis </h2> <p> Local news is reporting damage in the community of Potosi, Missouri. The area is about 57 miles southwest of St. Louis. </p> <div> <span data-embed-id="eed83b23ae6f40a4bd5c3abafe6f7a70" data-embed-type="social-auto"> </span> </div> <h2> (05:25 p.m. EDT) Just Because You Don’t See A Tornado Doesn’t Mean There Isn’t One </h2> <p> From weather.com on camera meteorologist Danielle Banks : </p> <p> You need to stay aware of the possibility of damaging winds even if you do not “see” a tornado. Tornadoes may appear almost transparent until they form a condensation funnel made up of water droplets, plus other dust and debris, which makes them easier to spot. </p> <h2> (05:14 p.m. EDT) Storms Ready To Pound St. Louis Area </h2> <p> From weather.com digital meteorologist Jonathan Belles : </p> <p> The squall line is about to barrel through St. Louis. One chunk of the line is rotating and will bring some tornado threat to St. Louis' southern suburbs. Anyone in the area should be paying especially close attention right now. </p> <h2> (05:05 p.m. EDT) Two-Inch Hail and Strong Winds Reported in Springfield, Illinois </h2> <p> From the senior digital meteorologist at weather.com Jonathan Erdman : </p> <p> We might observe some hail damage, particularly to cars, in certain sections of Springfield, Illinois. Approximately 45 minutes ago, hail up to 2 inches in diameter was recorded in the region, accompanied by wind speeds exceeding 50 mph. </p> <h2> (04:59 p.m. EDT) Portions of Illinois Are Being Impacted for the Second Time This Afternoon </h2> <p> Severe storms are moving through a part of central Illinois already hit once today. A wind gust estimated at 70 to 75 mph was reported near Elkhart, which is just about 10 miles southeast of Lincoln, where damage to businesses and vehicles was reported earlier. </p> <h2> (04:45 p.m. EDT) Tornado Watch Versus Tornado Warning: Know The Difference </h2> <p> From weather.com on camera meteorologist Danielle Banks : </p> <p> A tornado watch is issued when a tornado is possible. That’s your heads up to get prepared and have a plan in place in case you need to seek shelter. Watches are issued by the Storm Prediction Center where tornadoes may occur and normally cover numerous counties within a state or states. </p> <p> However, a tornado warning means that a tornado has been either radar-indicated or sighted by a trained spotter. It could also mean that a tornado is highly likely and you need to seek shelter immediately because there is immediate danger to lives and property. Tornado warnings are issued by your local NWS office. </p> <h2> (04:31 p.m. EDT) Likely Tornado In Southern Missouri </h2> <p> From weather.com digital meteorologist Jonathan Belles : </p> <p> There was likely a tornado near South Fork, Missouri, just a bit ago. The radar signal is messy, but there was some signal for debris for a time. </p> <h2> (04:15 p.m. EDT) Roads Closed In Kalamazoo, Michigan </h2> <p> Heavy rain and flooding shut down several roads in Kalamazoo, Michigan. </p> <p> From the Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office via social media: “Use caution and anticipate water over the road in many low-lying areas. Do NOT attempt to drive through water... As many motorists are currently finding out, it can be far deeper than expected.

What Forecasters Really Mean by a "100-Year Flood"

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Cbbos" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Cbbos.jpg"/> <p> Weather forecasters sometimes warn of storms that unleash such unusual rain they are described as 100-year or even 500-year floods. </p> <p> Here’s what to know about how scientists determine how extreme a flood is and how common these extreme events are becoming. </p> <h2> What does a 100-year flood mean? </h2> <p> Scientists use math to help people understand how unusual a severe flood is and how to compare the intensity of one flood to another. </p> <p> According to the U.S. Geological Survey , one statistic scientists use is the percentage chance that a flood of a specific magnitude will happen. A 500-year flood means such an event has a 1 in 500 chance, or 0.2%, of occurring in a year. </p> <p> Another concept scientists use is how frequently an event of a certain intensity is expected. For example, a meteorologist can look at the average recurrence interval of an anticipated flood and see that a similar event is only expected once every 25 years. </p> <p> Agencies have preferred expressing the percent chance of a flood occurring rather than the recurrence interval because that statistic better represents the fact that rare floods can happen within a few years of each other. It's sort of like rolling a pair of dice and getting double six's twice in a row. It's rare, but statistically possible. </p> <p> Another term people hear during an impending flood is that it could be a once-in-a-generation or once-in-a-lifetime event, a casual way of saying a flood could be unlike anything many people have experienced. </p> <h2> How flooding is changing with the climate </h2> <p> Houston, Texas, was struck by three 500-year flood events from 2015 through 2017, according to local officials at the time. The events included Hurricane Harvey, the heaviest recorded rainfall ever in the U.S. Homes and businesses were destroyed and cars were swept away by the floods. </p> <p> Although math can calculate how often to expect floods of specific magnitudes, nature has its own plans, including irregularity. Many interconnected systems in the environment, such as local weather patterns and larger events like El Nino, can contribute to the changing likelihood of floods. </p> <p> Since the early 1900s, precipitation events have become heavier and more frequent across most of the U.S. and flooding is becoming a bigger issue, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration . Gases emitted by humans, like carbon dioxide and methane, are warming the atmosphere, allowing it to hold more water vapor . For every 1 degree of Fahrenheit that the temperature warms, the atmosphere can hold nearly 4% more water, which is a 7% increase for every 1 degree Celsius, said Victor Gensini, professor of atmospheric sciences at Northern Illinois University. That vapor eventually falls back to the ground as rain or snow. “We’ve absolutely seen a shift in the probability distribution of heavy rainfall over the last three decades,” Gensini said. </p> <p> Other regions have experienced drought due to changing precipitation patterns. According to NASA , major droughts and periods of excessive precipitation have been occurring more frequently. Globally, the intensity of extreme wet and dry events is closely linked to global warming. </p> <p> ___ </p> <p> This story has been corrected to show that the three 500-year flood events in Houston took place over three years, not 24 months. It has also been corrected to show that the origin of the calculations about 500-year flood events in Houston were from local officials, not researchers at the University of Chicago. </p> <p> ___ </p> <p> Seth Borenstein contributed to this report from Washington, D.C. </p> <p> ___ </p> <p> The Associated Press’ climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

California Coast on Alert: Dangerous Ocean Conditions Expected

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/video/AA1wrMXH" data-reference="video"/> <p> The National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists released numerous warnings <span> on Wednesday warning of "hazardous" ocean conditions throughout California's complete 840-mile shoreline </span> . </p> <h2> Why It Matters </h2> <p> Wednesday afternoon brought beach-associated weather warnings urging individuals to avoid entering the water or to remain vigilant due to hazardous marine conditions along portions of California’s coast. Additionally, a small craft advisory was issued across the entirety of the state’s shoreline, cautioning mariners to steer clear of the waters as perilous sea states might cause “capsizing or damage to both smaller and larger boats.” </p> <h2> What to Know </h2> <p> By Wednesday afternoon, a high surf advisory had been issued for certain sections of California’s coastline. </p> <p> The ocean-related weather warnings will remain in place until at least early Thursday morning. However, the high surf advisory issued by the NWS office in Los Angeles will remain in place until 4 p.m. PT on Thursday. </p> <p> In some places, people were told to stay out of the water because the surf was dangerous. Dangers included large breaking waves and rip currents. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CaIrX" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CaIrX.jpg"/> <p> Rip currents are "powerful, channeled currents" that can move faster than an Olympic swimmer, the NWS said. If caught in a rip current , swimmers are advised to stay calm and swim parallel to the shore until they escape the current. Then, they can angle back and swim to shore. </p> <p> Large breaking waves up to 10 feet posed a threat at Ventura County beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County beaches. </p> <h2> What People Are Saying </h2> <p> <strong> NWS meteorologist Rose Schoenfeld, who works at the Los Angeles office, told DIwida.Blog & News </strong> : "The main source of the [waves] is always going to be wind somewhere. This correlates to the wind we have been feeling around the coast. Consistent wind going in a consistent direction not only builds up wind right then and there, but it also can build swells that can travel across the ocean as well." </p> <p> <strong> The National Weather Service office for Los Angeles has issued a high surf advisory: </strong> The danger of drowning in the ocean has risen. Rip currents have the potential to sweep swimmers and surfers away into deeper waters. Powerful crashing waves may lead to injuries, knock individuals off beaches and rocky areas, and overturn small vessels close to the shoreline. </p> <p> The warning stated: "Stay out of the water because of hazardous wave conditions, or remain close to guarded towers with personnel. Jetties made of rock can pose extreme danger under these circumstances; avoid them altogether." </p> <p> <strong> NWS Eureka in a small craft advisory: </strong> "Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller vessels, should avoid navigating in hazardous conditions." </p> <h2> What Happens Next </h2> <p> The advisories are expected to expire on Thursday. </p> <p> <strong> Related Articles </strong> <ul> <li> Donald Trump's NOAA Cuts Criticized Amid Huge Sea Lion Deaths in California </li> <li> Map Shows California Cities Where People Told To Keep Windows, Doors Closed </li> <li> Gas Prices Are Spiking in California </li> <li> Map Shows US Cities Millennials Are Rushing to Move to in 2025 </li> </ul> </p> <p> Start your unlimited DIwida.Blog & Newstrial </p>

Selain itu, dia juga menekankan pentingnya membedakan antara masalah guncangan bumi dengan kondisi politik di Myanmar supaya para pelancong mancanegara tidak keliru paham. </p> <p> Dorawong Thienthong, Menteri Pariwisata dan Olahraga, menyelenggarakan rapat mendesak pada Selasa, 31 Maret 2025, bersama sejumlah pemain penting di bidang ini seperti Dewan Pariwisata Thailand dan Asosiasi Travel Agent of Thailand (ATTA) guna menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut. Akibatnya, hampir 1.000 reservasi kamar hotel dibatalkan dalam jangka waktu dua hari. Meski demikian, beberapa wilayah tertentu, terlebih lagi Pattaya, menerima penambahan jumlah pengunjung asing yang beralih dari Bangkok. </p> <p> <strong> VN EXPRESS | NEGARA THAILAND </strong> </p>

Regiones Norte y Sur de EE.UU. Alertadas por Inundaciones Mortales y Tornados Devastadores

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1C8F7k" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1C8F7k.jpg"/> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Posibles inundaciones repentinamente letales, tornados de alto grado y granizos del tamaño de bolas de béisbol podrían impactar áreas en el centro-norte y sureste de Estados Unidos durante el miércoles. Esto ocurre mientras las poderosas tormentas que avanza desde oeste del país aumentan su intensidad según lo alertado por los especialistas en pronóstico meteorológico. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> El miércoles por la mañana había alertas de tormentas severas cercanas a las urbes de Joplin y Columbia en Misuri, marcando solo el comienzo de lo que los especialistas climáticos anticipaban como un período más crítico de condiciones atmosféricas agresivas durante esa jornada. Esto ocurriría mientras el calor diario interactuaba con una atmósfera inestable, provisto además de intensos cambios de dirección del viento y gran cantidad de humedad proveniente del Golfo de México (también conocido como Golfón de Estados Unidos) dirigiéndose al corazón del país. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> El fuerte sistema de tormentas generará "inundaciones repentinamente graves y posiblemente fatales" a partir del miércoles, y estas condiciones se mantendrán durante todos los días hasta el sábado, informó el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Es probable que se acumulen hasta 30 centímetros (1 pie) de precipitaciones en los próximos cuatro días, según lo advirtió el servicio meteorológico en uno de sus avisos sobre inundaciones. El aguacero continuo "es un fenómeno que puede suceder solo una vez cada veinte años o incluso menos frecuentemente", mencionaron. Se esperan registros pluviales sin precedentes y consecuentes efectos significativos. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Las preocupaciones sobre inundaciones aparecen mientras que los habitantes de ciertas áreas de Michigan continúan recuperándose después de haber sido golpeados por una tormenta de hielo durante el fin de semana pasado. </p> Las crecidas del agua pueden anegar poblados e incluso llevarse vehículos. <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Se anticiparon tormentas eléctricas acompañadas de varias oleadas de precipitación fuerte en regiones como Texas, la cuenca baja del río Misisipí y el valle del Ohilio desde mitad de semana hasta el sábado. Los especialistas en clima alertaron sobre la posibilidad de que estas tormentas se repitan por el mismo trayecto, lo cual podría generar aguaceros copiosos e inundaciones súbitas extremadamente peligrosas, incluso suficientemente potentes para llevarse vehículos consigo. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Se predijo una precipitación acumulada de hasta 38 centímetros (15 pulgadas) para los siguientes siete días en el noroeste de Arkansas, el suroeste de Missouri, el este de Kentucky y algunas áreas del sur de Illinois e Indiana, informó el servicio meteorológico. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> "Podríamos recibir aproximadamente dos meses de precipitaciones en solo unos cuantos días", señaló Thomas Jones, meteorólogo del servicio meteorológico en Little Rock, Arkansas, el lunes. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Porciones del estado de Arkansas, la parte occidental de Tennessee, el suroeste de Kentucky y el extremo sur de Indiana enfrentaban un peligro particularmente elevado de inundaciones según informó el Servicio Meteorológico. </p> Los tornados se han detectado en Kansas y es posible que ocurran más. <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Al menos un tornado se detectó el martes por la tarde en Kansas. "Busquen refugio de manera inmediata", alertó la oficina del servicio meteorológico en Wichita para los habitantes en la plataforma X. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> No se registraron víctimas del tornado que azotó Kansas. Además, el miércoles se activaron alertas de torbellinos en Misuri; sin embargo, no se presentaron denuncias iniciales sobre destrozos ni personas lesionadas debido a estas tormentas. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Además de los tornados, se anticipaba que habría vientos intensos con rachas de hasta 80 kilómetros por hora (50 millas por hora) en amplias áreas del noroeste del territorio nacional. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> La sombría predicción llega aproximadamente dos años después del día en que un tornado EF-3 golpeó Little Rock, Arkansas. Aunque nadie perdió la vida, este tornado provocó extensivos daños en barrios y comercios que aún están siendo restaurados hasta el presente. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Más de 90 millones de individuos están expuestos a condiciones climáticas extremas en un vasto territorio que abarca desde Texas hasta Minnesota y Maine, indica el Centro Nacional de Predicción de Tormentas ubicado en Oklahoma. </p> Tormentas tornádicas intensas y prolongadas parecen posibles en la zona de alto peligro. <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Alrededor de 2,5 millones de individuos están ubicados dentro de un territorio designado como "de alto peligro", una categorización poco común. Esta región considerada bajo amenaza significativa debido al clima extremo abarcaba porciones del oeste de Tennessee, que comprende Memphis; el nordeste de Arkansas; la parte suroeste de Missouri; así como sectores del oeste de Kentucky y el sur de Illinois, según lo informado este miércoles. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Se espera un aumento significativo de tornados este miércoles y es probable que se produzcan "varios tornadores prolongados con una clasificación EF3 o superior", según informó el Centro de Predicción de Tormentas. Estos tornados son considerados entre los más poderosos en la Escala Fujita Mejorada, usada para determinar su fuerza. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Un nivel de riesgo levemente inferior al severo para el clima se prevé para la jornada del miércoles en una zona que abarca Chicago, Indianápolis, Saint Louis, Louisville en Kentucky, y Little Rock en Arkansas. Además, las ciudades de Dallas, Detroit, Milwaukee y Nashville en Tennessee también enfrentan este riesgo reducido pero significativo. </p> Un temporal invernal golpea el área central-norte de la nación. <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> En Michigan, los equipos trabajaban para reinstalar la energía eléctrica el martes luego de que un temporal de granizo durante el fin de semana anterior causara la caída de árboles y postes de electricidad. El miércoles por la mañana, más de 135.000 usuarios carecían aún de suministro eléctrico en el área septentrional de Michigan; además, aproximadamente 11.000 personas adicionales permanecían sin luz en Wisconsin, según informó PowerOutage.us, sitio web dedicado al seguimiento nacional de interrupciones del servicio. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Varias escuelas ubicadas en diferentes condados de la parte inferior del guante de Michigan decidieron cerrar sus puertas mientras que los oficiales emplearon motosierras para limpiar las vías públicas, al tiempo que los automovilistas esperaban turnos en las gasolineras. Además, se preveía que llegaría más niebla congelada e hielo líquido, lo cual podría seguir manteniendo ciertos tramos de caminos peligrosos desde este momento hasta mañana en áreas de Michigan y también de Wisconsin según informó el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Se predijo una nevada fuerte e húmeda para continuar hasta el miércoles en Dakota del Este y algunas áreas de Minnesota. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> ___ </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Las reporteras y reporteros de The Associated Press Isabella O’Malley desde Filadelfia; Ed White desde Detroit; Steve Karnowski desde Minneapolis; y Hallie Golden desde Seattle colaboraron en esta entrega. </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> ___ </p> <p xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/"> Este relato fue traducido al español desde el inglés por un editor de AP con la asistencia de una herramienta de inteligencia artificial generadora. </p>

Atmospheric River Threatens Devastating 1,000-Year Flood

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1C8Qeb" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1C8Qeb.jpg"/> <p> An atmospheric river taking aim at the Midwest and parts of the South could exceed the 500- to 1,000-year average for rainfall in the area, meteorologists warned. </p> <h2> Why It Matters </h2> <p> Atmospheric rivers are a "long, narrow region in the atmosphere—like rivers in the sky—that transport most of the water vapor outside of the tropics," according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. </p> <p> The storms brought by atmospheric rivers are known for their heavy snow, heavy rain and strong winds . They more commonly affect the West Coast , particularly during the winter months. </p> <h2> What To Know </h2> <p> But a similar storm system will bring four months' worth of rain in a period of five days to a 1,000-mile swath in the central U.S. </p> <p> The incoming storm is a one-in-1,000-year event. An AccuWeather spokesperson told DIwida.Blog & News that floods like this have a 0.1 percent chance of happening in any given year. </p> <p> On Monday, AccuWeather published a report about the "conveyor belt of moisture," which is going to bring hours of heavy rain from Wednesday to Saturday night from Arkansas through the Mississippi Valley and into the Ohio Valley. </p> <p> "That moisture plume, known as an atmospheric river, will be tropical in nature and originate from the Caribbean," AccuWeather Senior Storm Warning Meteorologist William Clark said in the report. "Tropical moisture raises the risk of excessive rainfall." </p> <p> Occasionally, the precipitation intensity might surpass multiple inches within an hour, leading to swift flash floods. In certain regions, over twelve inches of rain could accumulate throughout the span of five days. </p> <p> Scott Homan, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather, informed DIwida.Blog & News The weather patterns will make the storm stationary over the area, resulting in multiple episodes of intense rain showers. He cautioned that “substantial flooding” will affect southeastern Missouri, southern Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and northwestern Mississippi. </p> <p> Floodwaters can rapidly turn hazardous and potentially deadly as the influx of moisture fills up local rivers, creeks, and streams. According to AccuWeather, major rivers anticipated to experience notable increases in water levels encompass the Ohio, Wabash, White, St. Francis, Kentucky, and Tennessee Rivers. </p> <p> National Weather Service (NWS) offices across the region have already issued numerous flood watches ahead of the storm. Flood watches are in place for Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi and parts of Oklahoma and Texas. </p> <h2> What People Are Saying </h2> <p> <strong> Clark said in the AccuWeather report: </strong> "Should the amount of rain occur that we anticipate over the middle of the nation, it would exceed the 500 to 1,000-year average. Truly, the potential is there for a historic flash flooding event." </p> <p> <strong> The NWS office in Louisville, Kentucky: </strong> "This is expected to be a high end event with life-threatening flooding. Major flash flooding and river flooding will be possible. Rush to completion any flooding preparation by Wednesday." </p> <h2> What Happens Next </h2> <p> The storm is expected to bring excessive rainfall across the region by Wednesday night and the deluge could continue through Saturday. </p> <p> To best prepare, Homan said, people in the forecast area should ensure their cellphones are charged and that they have access to a radio in case power goes out. He urged them to heed any warnings or evacuation orders and take shelter as the storm progresses. </p> <p> <strong> Related Articles </strong> <ul> <li> What Weather Will First Week of April Bring Across US? </li> <li> Six States Might Receive 4 Months of Rain in Just One Week </li> <li> Chart Reveals Californian Urban Areas Advised to Keep Windows and Doors Shut </li> <li> Tornado Chart Highlights Areas at 'Elevated Risk' </li> </ul> </p> <p> Begin your unrestricted DIwida.Blog & News trial </p>

Gempa Myanmar: Duka Mendalam Merenggut Lebih dari 2.800 Nyawa

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CbRCS" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CbRCS.jpg"/> <p> <strong> DIWIDA </strong> , JAKARTA - Militer Myanmar melaporkan bahwa jumlah kematian akibat gempa hebat minggu lalu telah naik di atas 2.800 jiwa. Di sisi lain, mereka juga menyatakan bahwa jumlah cedera sudah melebihi 4.600 orang. </p> <p> Jumlah korban dampak dari gempa berkekuatan 7,7 skala Richter yang mengejutkan daerah sentral Myanmar diprediksi bakal semakin meningkat. Pejabat pemerintah menyatakan bahwa ribuan individu diduga tertimbun di bawah bangunan runtuh di Mandalay, kota besar kedua negeri tersebut dan lokasinya dekat dengan titik episentrum gempa. Proses evakuasi menjadi lambat dikarenakan kurangnya peralatan berat untuk membantu operasi penyelamatan. </p> <p> Dikutip dari Antara , Kamis (3/4/2025), setelah guncangan gempa berkekuatan besar tersebut, tiga kelompok bersenjata yang diisi oleh etnis minoritas menyatakan gencatan senjata unilaterally untuk periode satu bulan menentang rejim militer guna memfasilitasi penyampaian bantuan gempa dengan lancar. </p> <p> Koalisi yang mencakup Tentara Arakan, Angkatan Bersenjata Demokrasi Nasional Myanmar, serta Pasukan Pembebasan Suku Tai, mengumulkan pada hari Selasa bahwa mereka berkomitmen untuk tidak melakukan serangan aktif dan hanya akan menjaga pertahanan sendiri demi menjamin keberlangsungan tugas bantuan kemanusiaan. </p> <p> Gencatan senjata sepihak juga telah diumumkan pada Sabtu oleh pemerintahan paralel yang dibentuk oleh anggota pemerintahan sipil Aung San Suu Kyi yang digulingkan dalam kudeta Februari 2021. </p> <p> Sementara itu, pihak militer belum mengatakan akan menghentikan serangannya. Menurut laporan media setempat, mereka terus melakukan serangan udara di wilayah kekuasaan pasukan oposisi yang terdiri dari beberapa kelompok pemberontak etnis minoritas dan pemerintahan Pemerintah Persatuan Nasional. </p> <p> Pada Rabu, Junta mengatakan lebih dari 1.500 anggota tim penyelamat asing sedang melakukan operasi evakuasi setelah gempa kuat di Myanmar. </p> <p> Pada hari yang sama, tim medis asal Jepang tiba di Yangon untuk mengirim pasokan bantuan darurat, termasuk perlengkapan sanitasi, air, dan alat pemurni air. </p>

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Brh7h" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Brh7h.jpg"/> <p> LONDON (AP) — Heathrow Airport was up and running Saturday and airlines worked to clear the backlog after a fire at a nearby electricity substation knocked out power to Europe's busiest airport , disrupting travel plans for hundreds of thousands of people around the world. </p> <p> The airport said it had made space for extra flights, but it is expected to take days to get stranded passengers to their destinations and displaced aircraft into the proper locations. </p> <p> Here's a look at what happened and its impact on air travel . </p> <p> What happened? </p> <p> A fire at an electrical substation in west London, about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from the airport, cut power to Heathrow Airport late on Thursday. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BnTeD" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BnTeD.jpg"/> <p> Residents reported an explosion and a fireball just before midnight. The London Fire Brigade said a transformer holding 25,000 liters (5,000 gallons) of cooling oil caught fire. It said 10 fire engines and 70 firefighters brought the blaze under control after seven hours, but isolated hotspots were still alight 24 hours after the fire started. </p> <p> National Grid, which maintains energy infrastructure in Britain, said the blaze damaged equipment at the substation and cut power to 67,000 properties, including Heathrow. It said power was restored to all of them by Saturday morning. </p> <p> The “significant power outage” initially forced Heathrow officials to announce that the airport would be closed until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, but some flights began to resume on Friday evening. </p> <p> What caused the fire? </p> <p> Officials said there was no suggestion of foul play, but the cause is still under investigation. The fire brigade said its investigation would focus on the electrical distribution equipment at the substation. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BnOhJ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BnOhJ.jpg"/> <p> Even so, London's Metropolitan Police Service said counterterrorism detectives were leading the investigation because of the fire's impact on critical national infrastructure. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BnM25" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BnM25.jpg"/> <p> Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said it was "an unprecedented event.” </p> <p> “Obviously, with any incident like this we will want to understand why it happened and what if any lessons it has for our infrastructure,” he told Sky News. </p> <p> How was Heathrow affected? </p> <p> The closure disrupted the travel plans of around 200,000 people who were expected to travel through Heathrow on Friday. Heathrow advised passengers not to travel to the airport and to contact their airlines to rebook flights. </p> <p> With all takeoffs and landings canceled, the first impact was on dozens of long-haul flights from North America and Asia that were in the air when the airport was shut down. Some were forced to turn around, while others were diverted to airports around the United Kingdom and Europe. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BnM2c" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BnM2c.jpg"/> <p> Heathrow-bound aircraft landed at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam; Shannon Airport in western Ireland; Glasgow, Scotland; Manchester, England; Charles de Gaulle in Paris; Lyon, France; and Frankfurt, Germany, among others. </p> <p> About 4,000 tons of cargo were also stranded by the closure, according to Anita Mendiratta, an aviation and leadership consultant. </p> <p> How long will the disruptions last? </p> <p> The disruptions are expected to last for days as airlines move stranded aircraft and flight crews back into position and work to accommodate passengers whose flights were canceled. Mendiratta estimated that it would take two to four days to clear all the backlogs. </p> <p> “This is an extreme situation where the entire aviation ecosystem is impacted,” she said. </p> <p> “There will be two things that will be happening as a priority No. 1. First is airport operations and understanding, from an electrical system point of view, what has been impacted, if anything,” she said. “Did anything short out, for instance? What needs to be reactivated? And then how do you literally turn the airport back on again?" </p> <p> How big is Heathrow? </p> <p> Heathrow was Europe’s busiest airport last year, with 83.6 million passengers traveling through it. Its closure will have far-reaching impacts because it's a major hub for connecting flights to cities throughout the U.K. and around the world, as well as for travel to London. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BnFkt" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BnFkt.jpg"/> <p> Does London have other airports? </p> <p> Yes. Five other air hubs in southeastern England identify themselves as London airports, but they are much smaller than Heathrow. London Gatwick, Britain’s second-biggest airport, handled 43.2 million passengers last year. It's located in the town of Crawley, 28 miles (45 kilometers) south of London. </p> <p> What’s the bigger picture? </p> <p> The fire raises concerns about the U.K.’s ability to withstand attacks or natural disasters that damage critical infrastructure such as communications and power networks, analysts said. </p> <p> The incident is particularly worrisome given recent comments by Britain’s security services that Russia is conducting a reckless campaign of sabotage across Europe , said Alan Mendoza, the executive director of the Henry Jackson Society, a London-based security think tank. </p> <p> “The U.K.’s critical national infrastructure is not sufficiently hardened for anywhere near the level it would need to be at to give us confidence this won’t happen again,” he said. “I mean, if one fire can shut down Heathrow’s primary systems ... it tells you something’s badly wrong with our system of management of such disasters.” </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BnVQ2" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BnVQ2.jpg"/> <p> Robin Potter, an expert on resilience at London-based think tank Chatham House, said that successive governments have been slow to respond to repeated recommendations from the National Infrastructure Commission to strengthen the ability of Britain’s power, communications, transport and water networks to withstand major shocks. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BnTfa" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BnTfa.jpg"/> <p> “We still have yet to see a kind of clear response from the government to those recommendations,” he said. “And we hope that maybe in the government’s upcoming resilience review, which we expect will be published at some point this year, it might seek to address some of those questions.” </p> <p> Heathrow defended its response. Its CEO Thomas Woldbye said “the same would happen in other airports” faced with a similar fire. </p> <p> Danica Kirka, The Associated Press </p>
