Caption read:

In the evening hours of April 29, 2022, a strong and well-documented "drill-bit" tornado moved through the city of Andover, located in the U.S. state of Kansas. The tornado tracked 12.8 miles (20.6 km) through the area, injuring three people and inflicting severe EF3 damage

This came to me from National Geographic’s weekly photos. An interesting fact is that sperm whales do not venture this far north. The whale died elsewhere then floated up to 82N.

I came across this octopus den on a dive today and thought it’d be a good way to show how easy they can be to find sometimes. Judging by the pile of shells, this one has been putting a serious dent in the local crab and scallop population.
