Explosión y derrumbe de edificio en calle Salta al 2100 de la ciudad de Rosario, Argentina, acontecido el 06/08/2013 /// Explosion and building collapse in Rosario, Argentine, on August 6, 2013
so i took my other shot out of hbw pool. i didn't like it that much, and it wasn't worth one of my two shots. we were out walking the dogs today and came across this awesome front yard full of a lush bed of flowers- looked like someone had dumped a bunch of mixed flowers destined to bloom at once. it was just amazing. i took a bunch of shots with the 50, my favorites (of course) were blurry.
Los estorninos son un azote para los cultivos, como un plaga. Pero estas explosiones de vida, estas sinfonías de movimiento son todo un espectáculo para el observador.

Based on “research” (from Wikipedia, the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory and the NOAA-NWS-NCEP Storm Prediction Center) that I have found while surfing the internet:
A Derecho is a widespread and long-lived, violent straight-line windstorm that has winds of 58mph but can gust up to 100mph. Straight line winds have raw power and are able to rip down trees and toss cars. Winds in a Derecho can be enhanced by downburst clusters embedded inside the storm. A typical Derecho consists of numerous burst swaths, microburst, downbursts and downburst clusters.
A downburst is created by an area of significantly cooled air that, after reaching ground level, spreads out in all directions. Dry downbursts are associated with very little rain and the storm that we experienced had very little rainfall.
A microburst is a downburst at a small scale. It often has high winds that can knock over fully grown trees.
Based on what I witnessed during the storm, I believe that downbursts and microbursts were present during the storm. In small areas, the damage appears chaotic and in varying directions and was likely the result of bursts. This tree explosion is one example. In walking about the post-storm damage, however, it was apparent that most of the damage was moving in the west-to-east direction. Overall, I would classify the damage, and the storm, as the work of Derecho.
Here is the Wikipedia entry on this storm that cut across the eastern half of the United States:
This is a photograph of pressure sensitive nitrogen triiodide exploding at 1000m/s. The photo was taken in the dark with the cameras shutter open and a flash triggered by a pressure sensitive detector.
This is a picture of what can only be the cloud of smoke from the recent explosion in Hertfordshire earlier today.
The photo was taken on the Liverpool-Euston train line west of Hemel Hemstead. The photo doesn't make it clear, but that is a fair way away and very very big.

The South Dakota State Fire Marshal's Office is looking into a house explosion that left two small children hospitalised with burns and killed a newborn and her grandparents.
According to Stanley County Sheriff Brad Rathbun, the residence, which was about 11 miles (18 km) southwest of Fort Pierre, exploded around 10:20 a.m. on Wednesday.
Harper Hupp, 6 months old, and her grandma LaDonna Hupp, 61, perished at the scene, according to the sheriff. Hospitalised William Hupp, 66, passed away there.
Myles, age 5, and Royce, age 3, suffered critical injuries and were airlifted to a burn unit at a hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The explosion happened when the parents of the kids, Trevor and Kelsey Hupp, were at work in Pierre. The parents of Trevor Hupp were LaDonna and William Hupp.
Myles has predominantly first- and second-degree burns on 10% of his body, according to Kelsey Hupp, while Royce has third-degree burns on 25% of his body, mostly on his chest and arms.
“(Myles) squeezes my hand and wiggles his toes. He even fought sedation one time and sat up and looked around. He is stable,” Kelsey Hupp wrote.
According to their mother's letter, Royce's rehabilitation will take longer than his brother's, although he also wiggles his toes and once awoke from anaesthesia. She mentioned that both boys had intubations.

Aerial views of the neighborhood surrounding a Texas fertilizer plant that erupted in a thunderous explosion is gone as visible April 19, 2013, two days after the blast. McLennan County Sheriff said the area surrounding the destroyed fertilizer plant is a highly populated neighborhood. He described it as "devastated" and "still very volatile." Ammonium nitrate - commonly used as fertilizer - was found at the scene, but he didn't know if any of the chemical remained. Photo by Ron Heflin/Greenpeace

This is an explosion of a something during the course of this fire. Clearly, it was enormous. I was never able to find out what it was that exploded. No one was hurt, thankfully.

In response to increasingly fast American bombers and fighters, the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau was ordered to develop a twin-engined, all-weather, supersonic version of the MiG-17F day fighter. It would also be equipped with a mix of cannon and missile armament. Prototypes were designated SM-1 through SM-9 before being formally designated MiG-19 in 1956. It received the NATO reporting name "Farmer" soon thereafter.
During the 1950s, fighter designs usually went through a teething process, which was usually expensive and dangerous. This was true of most nations, and the MiG-19 was no different. Several powerplants had to be experimented with before the right one was found in the Tumansky RD-9, and the aircraft was prone to catastrophic explosions. It was also tricky to fly for a new pilot, especially given that there was not a two-seat trainer; pilots instead trained on the more docile MiG-15UTI Midget, which could pose a problem in transitioning to the new fighter. The MiG-19 was indeed supersonic, however, and eventually fulfilled the requirements of the design by the time it entered service in 1956.
The Soviet Air Force (V-VS) hoped that the MiG-19 would replace the MiG-17 in service, but the former never became a popular aircraft. It was not as maneuverable as the MiG-17, and gulped fuel at an alarming rate. In its combat debut with the Egyptian Air Force against Israeli Mirage IIIs, pilots reported a tendency for the MiG-19 to flame out if it fired its nose mounted cannon for any length of time; the gun gas would be sucked down the intake and cause engine failure.
The MiG-19 also entered service with the North Vietnamese People's Air Force in 1969, but its performance when the air war over the North was resumed in 1972 was lackluster. VPAF pilots found it heavier on the controls than the MiG-17 and MiG-21, and VPAF mechanics found maintaining the MiG-19 in a tropical environment was a nightmare. VPAF MiG-19s only achieved three confirmed kills, and lost nine of their own number. It was not popular and was withdrawn from service at the end of the war.
With the MiG-21 in service, the Soviet V-VS also withdrew the MiG-19 from frontline service, though a few Warsaw Pact client states kept them until the early 1980s. The People's Republic of China license-built MiG-19s before the Sino-Soviet split in 1967, and kept it in production well into the 1980s as the Shenyang J-6. Despite its limitations, the J-6 remained the mainstay of the People's Liberation Army Air Force until the early 21st Century, and the last J-6 did not leave service until 2010. North Korea is believed to be the last nation to still have operational J-6s in any sort of number, though there are a small number of African nations which might have a few left. Though quite a few can be found in museums worldwide, its high maintenance requirements have not made it a sought-after warbird.
There are two differing stories of how this MiG-19 came to be at the March Air Museum. According to the museum, it was assembled from parts of seven Shenyang J-6s and possibly actual MiG-19s, at least one of which had flown combat over Vietnam while with the VPAF. According to other sources, however, Bort 0409 was delivered to the Czechoslovakian Air Force in 1961 and initially served with the 4th Fighter Squadron at Ceske Budejovice until 1963, when it was transferred to the 5th FS at Dobrany. Withdrawn from service in the early 1970s, it was displayed at the Slovak Museum of Transport at Presov before being sold to a private American warbird collector in Palm Springs, California, who donated it to the March Air Museum in 2001. It is possible that Bort 0409 was used as the basis for the restoration, with parts coming from J-6s, including the former VPAF aircraft.
However Bort 0409 got to March, it has been beautifully restored as a VPAF MiG-19 of the 925th Fighter Regiment at Yen Bai. North Vietnamese MiG-19s were both bare metal and camouflaged, though the Bort nose number pattern is Czech. This is only the third MiG-19/J-6 I've ever seen; as I mentioned above, they are quite rare compared to MiG-17s or even MiG-21s.
De nuevo con las fotografías realizadas mediante el disparo de flash con sonido tras conseguir reparar el dispositivo, que se empeñaba en funcionar únicamente cuando a él le apetecía.
La verdad es que pocas de las pruebas que hicimos mi hijo Juan Luis Amado Quinteiro (www.flickr.com/photos/amadofoto/) y yo salieron medianamente bien.
Aquí subo dos fotos, una de la explosión de una bombila y la otra de una pelota de golf cayendo en un recipiente con agua.
