  3. A couple of ideas that seem to have surfaced (so to speak) since the vid:

    “The vast amount of water locked inside rocks of this deep region of the mantle will certainly force us to think harder about how it ever got there, or perhaps how it could have always been there since solidification of the mantle,” http://www.newscientist.com/article/2133963-theres-as-much-water-in-earths-mantle-as-in-all-the-oceans/ 7 June 2017

    "Hallis previously used hydrogen isotope ratios in volcanic basalt rocks to conclude that Earth's water may in fact have been part of the very dust cloud from which the planet first condensed" New Scientist, Late arrival of Earth's water ruled out, 28 January 2017

  4. WEATHER UPDATE
    Its raining rocks from outer space.
    WEATHER UPDATE
    Those rocks might have had water inside them and now there is hot steam in the sky.
    WEATHER UPDATE
    Cooler tempratures today and the floor is no longer lava.
    WEATHER UPDATE
    …It's raining…
    SEVERE FLOODING ALERT
