Taylor Swift Gasps For Air During Sizzling Hot Concert In Brazil

GASPING FOR AIR

Taylor Swift was seemingly gasping for air during her sweltering hot concert in Brazil, freaking out some of her fans.

The pop superstar performed for hours in nearly 100-degree heat Friday night at Estadio Olímpico Nilton Santos stadium in Rio de Janeiro -- and the video shows how much the soaring temperature impacted Taylor.

Keep in mind, this was the same night one of Taylor's fans, Ana Clara Benevides, died right before the show kicked off.

Video of Taylor’s scary moment was posted to X … it starts with Taylor wrapping up a song with her back to the packed crowd. She then turns to the audience, huffing and puffing as if she’s struggling to breathe. The 12-second clip ends with Taylor closing her eyes.

Her worried fans responded to the video post, sharing their concerns. One wrote, "OMG… this breaks my heart in so many levels. She’s so professional but watching her like this, my best wishes go to her.”

Another pointed out, “She is only 33 and in incredible physical shape. That she was struggling that much is really scary," while a third person remarked, “Taylor was struggling to breathe as well!!”

Due to the extreme temps, Taylor announced she was postponing her Saturday concert in Rio because the “safety and well-being of my fans, fellow performers, and crew has to and always will come first.”

Benevides complained she wasn't feeling well right before Friday night's show began, and was reportedly taken to a hospital where she died. The official cause of death hasn't been determined.

As of now, Taylor is scheduled to perform Sunday night in Rio, but, obviously, those plans could change as well.

Insane Tornado Video Storm Chasers Trapped In Storm Pray to Jesus for Help

Tornados are something to AVOID at all costs ... as proven by this intense clip of storm chasers screaming for their lives while stuck in the middle of a terrifying storm.

The destructive winds touched Lewistown, Illinois back in April, but storm chaser and YouTuber Tanner Charles shared the shocking footage this week.

Tanner and his friends had no choice but to park right in the middle of the tornado's path after powerline poles came down, blocking the road in front of and behind them.

It's pretty horrifying, with the group panicking as the EF-3 tornado got closer to their car -- begging God to keep them stay alive as the windows in their ride got smashed, with loads of debris ripping over them.

Keep in mind, this tornado reached top speeds of 160 mph, so they definitely were feeling the power while right in its crosshairs. The gang somehow survived the brutal storm, and rightfully were extremely grateful to be alive while looking at the aftermath.

4 people were reported injured as a result of the tornado, which traveled nearly 19 miles ... but by some miracle, there were no deaths.

Demencial video Cazadores de tormenta quedan atrapados en un tornado Rezan por su vida...

Los tornados son algo que hay que EVITAR a toda costa, como bien lo demuestra este intenso video de dos cazadores de tormentas que terminan gritando por sus vidas mientras están atrapados en medio de una aterradora tormenta.

Los vientos azotaron Lewistown, Illinois, en abril, pero el aficionado a estos eventos y YouTuber, Tanner Charles, compartió las impactantes imágenes recién esta semana.

Tanner y sus amigos no tuvieron más remedio que aparcar justo en medio de la trayectoria del tornado. Esto, después de que se cayeran los postes del tendido eléctrico, bloqueando la carretera delante y detrás de ellos.

Es bastante horrible de ver cómo el grupo entra en pánico a medida que el tornado EF-3 se acerca a su coche. En el inter tanto, ellos ruegan a Dios para que los mantenga a salvo, mientras las ventanas de su carro quedan empañadas con un montón de escombros.

Hay que tener en cuenta que este tornado alcanzó velocidades máximas de 160 mph, por lo que definitivamente estaban sintiendo el poder de la naturaleza cuando estaban en medio de todo. La pandilla de alguna manera sobrevivió a la brutal tormenta y por supuesto estaba muy agradecida de estar viva al ver las secuelas.

Cuatro personas resultaron heridas como consecuencia del tornado, que viajó a casi 19 millas, pero por algún milagro, no hubo muertes.

¡El campo de juego Marco Simone Golf & Country Club en Italia, anfitrión del prestigioso torneo Ryder Cup celebrado la semana pasada, estalló en llamas el jueves cuando una estructura en el campo se incendió!

El incendio, que se originó en una suite de tres plantas, se produjo menos de una semana después de que cientos de miles de aficionados abarrotaran el campo para presenciar el famoso torneo de golf de Roma, dominado por los europeos.

El humo negro se podía ver a kilómetros de distancia y varios bomberos se apresuraron a llegar al lugar para combatir las llamas.

"Un incendio fue reportado en una de las estructuras temporales del ala derecha de la primera calle en el Marco Simone Golf & Country Club a primera hora de esta tarde", escribió la Ryder Cup Europa en un comunicado.

"Los bomberos locales fueron llamados al lugar de los hechos a las 17:07 hora local y rápidamente controlaron el incendio".

A pesar de lo mal que pintaban las cosas, nadie resultó herido.

Las autoridades también dicen que no hubo daños en el campo de golf, excepto por el edificio temporal que fue envuelto en llamas.

La causa del incendio aún está siendo investigada por los expertos.

Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Italy, the host of last week's prestigious Ryder Cup golf tourney, erupted in flames on Thursday as a structure on the course caught fire!

The fire, which started in a three-story hospitality suite, happened less than a week after hundreds of thousands of fans packed the course to watch the famed golf tourney in Rome, dominated by the Europeans.

Billowing black smoke could be seen miles away ...  as multiple firefighters rushed to the scene and began battling the blaze.

“A fire was reported in one of the temporary hospitality structures to the right of the first fairway at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club earlier this afternoon,” Ryder Cup Europe wrote in a statement.

“Local fire crews were called to the scene at 5:07 PM local time and quickly brought the blaze under control."

Despite how bad things looked, no one was injured, most importantly.

Authorities also say there was no damage to the golf course ... outside of the temporary building that was engulfed in flames.

The cause of the fire is currently being investigated by experts.

Central Park León marino escapa del zoológico Después de las inundaciones en Nueva York

092923_sealion-kal
Libertad!!!

Un león marino en el zoológico del Central Park hizo un gran escape en medio de las inundaciones en Nueva York, nadando fuera de su recinto gracias a la subida de las aguas.

El video muestra al león marino al otro lado del recinto, nadando en aguas marrones, lo suficientemente altas como para que pudiera salir de la piscina.

Hay otros dos leones marinos nadando alegremente alrededor del recinto, pero uno fue capaz de llegar por encima de la valla. En el video lo vemos relajándose en un lugar normalmente reservado para los seres humanos, al menos cuando no está todo inundado.

Como referencia, así es como se ve normalmente la exhibición de leones marinos. La piscina no es tan grande y el mamífero que se escapó está bastante cerca de una carpa que conduce a otra área del zoológico.

El león marino no se escapó completamente, pero sí se salió de su hábitat y presumiblemente tuvo mucha curiosidad sobre lo que hay más allá de su pequeña piscina.

Como saben, fuertes lluvias están golpeando la Gran Manzana, con inundaciones extremas en toda la ciudad.

El zoológico del Central Park estuvo cerrado al público el viernes debido a las severas condiciones climáticas y los leones marinos parecen estar disfrutando al máximo el día.

Esto no es, sin embargo, "Liberen a Willy", el zoológico dice que las aguas inundadas ya está bajando y que los leones marinos están de vuelta en su recinto.

Central Park Zoo Sea Lion Escapes Zoo Exhibit ... After NYC Flooding

092923_sealion-kal
FREEDOM!!!

A sea lion at the Central Park Zoo made a great escape amid all the flooding in New York City ... swimming out of its enclosure thanks to rising waters.

Video shows the sea lion on the other side of the exhibit, swimming around in brown water ... which was high enough for the animal to get out of the pool.

There are two other sea lions happily swimming around the enclosure, but one was able to make it over the fence ... with the marine mammal is chilling in a spot normally reserved for humans, at least when it's not underwater.

For reference, here's how the sea lion exhibit usually looks ... as you can see, the pool isn't that big, and the escaped sea lion is pretty close to a tent that leads to another area of the zoo.

The sea lion didn't escape the zoo completely ... but she did get out of their habitat, and she's obviously pretty curious about what lies beyond her little pool.

As you know ... heavy rain is pounding the Big Apple and there's extreme flooding throughout the city.

NEW YORK UNDERWATER

The Central Park Zoo was closed to the public Friday as a result of the severe weather conditions, and the sea lions seem to be making the most of a rainy day.

This ain't "Free Willy" though ... the zoo says flood waters are going down and the sea lions are back in their enclosure.

New York City Flooding Turns Streets to Rivers ... Cars, Buses Underwater

NEW YORK UNDERWATER

New York City's looking more like Atlantis after an intense amount of rainfall and some wild videos show New Yorkers struggling to keep their cars, buses and heads above the water line.

NYC's getting slammed Friday with the worst of the storm -- we're talking up to 2 inches of rainfall each hour -- which means flash flood warnings for Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens and city buses taking on water like the freakin' Titanic.

Passengers are posting videos of the water ripping right through the bus aisles and under seats as the bus drivers just try to make it through city streets. The highways aren't any better.

Despite city officials issuing a travel advisory, cars are still on the road ... but several have been stranded in floodwaters, while others are bailing water out of their rides with cups!

The city's subways are perilous too, and the ones that are running are doing so on an "extremely limited" service.

With a total of 5 to 6 inches expected before the storm passes ... the greater NYC area is gonna be drenched for days. Not the greatest TGIF for the Big Apple.

Just sayin'.

Nueva York Inundaciones convierten las calles en ríos Carros y buses bajo el agua

Nueva York bajo el agua

La ciudad de Nueva York se parece más a la Atlántida después de una intensa cantidad de lluvia y algunos videos salvajes que muestran a los neoyorquinos luchando por mantener sus carros, autobuses y cabezas por encima del agua.

Nueva York está siendo azotada con lo peor de la tormenta este viernes. Estamos hablando de hasta 5 cm de lluvia cada hora, lo que significa alertas de inundaciones repentinas para Brooklyn, Manhattan y Queens y autobuses urbanos haciendo agua como el maldito Titanic.

Los pasajeros están posteando videos en los que se ve cómo el agua atraviesa los pasillos y los asientos de los autobuses mientras los conductores intentan atravesar las calles de la ciudad. Las autopistas no están mejor.

A pesar de que los funcionarios de la ciudad emitieron un aviso vial, los carros siguen en la carretera. ¡Varios se han quedado varados en el agua, mientras que otros están intentando sacar el agua de su paso hasta con baldes!

Las líneas de metro de la ciudad también están en peligro, y las que están funcionando lo están haciendo con un servicio "extremadamente limitado".

Con un total de 5 a 6 pulgadas esperadas antes de que pase la tormenta, el área metropolitana de Nueva York va a estar empapada durante días. No es el mejor thank God it's Friday para la Gran Manzana.

OVERWHELMING FLOODING, WINDS
X/@JimCantore

Hurricane Idalia has hit Florida in a big way ... and it's bringing the Sunshine State flooding, roaring winds, and certain devastation.

The Category 3 storm made landfall Wednesday morning in the state's Big Bend region -- Meteorologist Jim Cantore shared some shocking sights from Cedar Key -- as gusting winds rip through the city and come straight for nearby houses.

BTW, he gave his followers an update less than an hour later ... and the winds and water levels got worse in no time at all.

Damage from the storm is expected to cover 200 miles, with up to 16-foot surges ... residents would have to get up to the 3rd floor of buildings to stay dry. Wind gusts approached 125 mph.

The Tallahassee area is also predicted to be uninhabitable for several weeks or even months, according to the National Weather Service office.

Officials have said Idalia shows great potential for death and catastrophic devastation, and locals have been told to hightail it out of the area. As of Wednesday, over 240k residents are already without power.

This is the 3rd hurricane to make landfall in FL in the past year, after Ian last September and Nicole a month later. Both storms brought devastation and this one's shaping up to be no different.
