The Hemmingway classic, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, may need a new title. Scientists are concerned that global warming may cause Mount Kilimanjaro, known as the “The Shining Mountain” (Kilima Njaro in Swahili) to shine no more. In May, my wife and I drove north to York, Nebraska for a granddaughter’s graduation. The wind in York was nearly constant at about 35 miles per hour, gusting to 40, or more. The motel entryway door was tied down, so the wind wouldn’t tear it off its hinges and carry it away over the [...] At approximately 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 6, 2005, an F3 tornado tore a path through parts of Kentucky before jumping the Ohio River into southwest Indiana. This tornado produced drastic results for many areas, but did the most damage to Evansville, Indiana. Though the media has chosen to fixate on the city of New Orleans, the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina actually covers a land mass nearly equal in size to Great Britain. Over 90,000 square miles. With the lifeless bodies of those not lucky enough to escape Katrina’s wrath floating in the murky floodwater that covers the streets along the coast of New Orleans and Harrison County, Mississippi combined with raw sewage, garbage, gas and oil, and a completely compromised drinking water system, those left living in the filthy flooded aftermath are facing many potential perils. |
