"Powerful storms across America’s northeast have claimed at least four lives and caused a weather phenomenon known as a meteotsunami.
An 11-year-old girl and a woman died after being crushed by falling trees in New York state while in their vehicles.
Two people in Connecticut were also killed in separate in accidents when trees fell on their trucks on Tuesday.
Meteorologists said the meteotsunami resulted in water levels fluctuating several hours off the New Jersey coast."
Last month (April), a woman was partially sucked out of a broken plane window in the United States after an engine blew at 32,000 feet.
Passengers scrambled to save the woman from getting sucked out of the window that had been smashed by debris, but she later died.

I had watched 'Sharknado 2' on the weekend after having watched 'Sharknado' last week when I wrote about an Australian actor from Hobart who plays an Australian surfer from Hobart in that first movie.

I guess I should warn you now that there will be SPOILERS from now on, if there hasn't already been, that is.
Jason plays an Aussie guy named Baz Hogan in the first movie, obviously a nod to iconic Aussie actor Paul Hogan.
Baz Hogan doesn't get to live past the first one to fight another day unfortunately.

Gaia Dies on Mother's Day?!
John's character dies in the movie rescuing a dog.
Margot Kidder passed away in the Chinese 'Year of the Dog'.
The movie also starts off with an Asian guy drinking shark fin soup in a deal that goes bad.
Yeah, I know what you are thinking, that I watch too many wheels go round.
Kind of synchy though that the first movie is about predators falling from the skies in and around Hollywood and the Hollywood sign gets smashed to bits in that movie.
Maybe that Hurricane in the first movie should have been named Harvey instead?-)
The Harvey That We Didn't See Coming in 2017?
But there are predators in the second one, as well, right Matt?

The end of 'Sharknado 2' shows the Empire State Building's windows lit up with the word FIN, but if you roll past the credits, you'll catch Fin eating a pizza.
You're thinking 'Pizzagate' now aren't ya?-)
Well, I haven't watched 'Sharknado 3' yet, but "A monstrous tornado unleashes ravenous sharks from Washington, D.C., all the way down to Orlando, Florida.".
And who knows, maybe David Lynch and Mark Frost got a few ideas for 'Twin Peaks: The Return' from watching 'Sharknado 2'?-)

A screen shot from the Australian ad on the Australian 'Sharknado' DVD |
I should also mention that on the Australian DVD for 'Sharknado' is a national commercial for DVD piracy and in that ad is a guy wearing a Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks shirt (my team) and the Sharks would go on and win their first ever NRL grand final in 2016 under clear skies;-)
With all of the school shootings in the news lately this bus scene from the first 'Sharknado' movie kind of resonates with the current times we are living in.
