Storm Corrie Brings Rough Conditions to Dutch Coast

Storm Corrie hit the Netherlands on January 31, with gale-force winds battering the coast and churning seas. The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute issued a yellow warning for coastal areas. The coast guard said two ships collided near the port of IJmuiden, with 18 crew airlifted from one of them. Flight-tracking information showed 281 delays and 135 cancellations at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Storm Corrie arrived just one day after Storm Malik, which killed at least two people in the UK and three in northern Europe. This footage, posted on Twitter by @Dashuks, shows the waves at the Hook of Holland.

Truckers Set Off in Convoy for Ottawa to Protest Vaccine Mandate

Hundreds of truckers set off in convoy from British Columbia toward Ottawa on January 23 to protest against a COVID-19 vaccination mandate, local news reports said. A vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers came into effect on January 15. The mandate would see unvaccinated drivers face a two-week quarantine and pre-arrival molecular test for the virus before crossing back into Canada from the US. The Canadian Trucking Alliance said it “does not support and strongly disapproves of any protests on public roadways, highways, and bridges.” It said the “vast majority of the Canadian trucking industry is vaccinated.” The demonstration has been dubbed the “Freedom Rally,” with the hashtag #TruckersForFreedom also being used by those posting about the protest on social media. Brandon Quirk said this video showed the scene at a gas station in Calgary, Alberta, early on Monday morning. Reports said two groups joined up in Calgary the night before.

Pharmacists voice concern over rapid antigen test supply issues

Pharmacists warn pensioners and other concession card holders will struggle to find rapid antigen tests when they become available for free at pharmacies today. It comes as 6.6 million concession card holders can claim up to 10 tests over the next 3 months under the scheme - with a maximum of 5 per month. Smaller chemists say they do not have enough stock to begin handing out the free kits - as they compete with Coles, Woolworths and larger chains such as Chemist Warehouse. from Breaking National News and Australian News | Daily Telegraph https://ift.tt/3Iwsc7u

Footage Shows Atmospheric Pressure Waves Over Hawaii After Tonga Eruption

An observatory in Hawaii captured atmospheric pressure waves created by the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano on January 15. The Gemini Observatory in Hawaii was 5,000 kilometers (3,000 miles) away from the eruption when it captured the atmospheric pressure waves on three different cameras.
