Sad. Unfortunately, this is a relatively common occurrence in Bangladesh with the a) low-lying land, b) proximity to water, and c) incredibly dense population (150M people in a space smaller than Iowa).
Quoted: In 131 years, Bangladesh has lost 200 million people to 80 cyclones, according to a tally by Chinese state-run media.

Heard about this on the t.v. ad for 7 cedars casino.
Quoted: Sequim averages 15" per year due to the precipitation pattern caused by the storm blocking effect of the Olympic Mountains. Thus, this is how the term "Blue Hole" came about.
.
Sequim rainfall is about the same as Los Angeles or San Francisco California.

Heard about this crazy pileup on the news. Amazing that no one was seriously injured.
Quoted: Conditions on I-90 east of North Bend included gusty winds, blowing snow and compact snow and ice on the highway when the big rig jackknifed and collided with the trooper's car, Merrill said.
...
The trooper, who was unhurt, had been assisting a car that had rolled over about 15 minutes earlier at the same site, Merrill said. A truck towing a trailer came next, hitting the side of the tractor-trailer rig. Other vehicles soon followed, resulting in the 30-vehicle pileup, he said.More info (with video) here: http://www.king5.com/topstories/stories/NW_011607WABsnow_i90closedSW.4772992b.html

A public experiment that was better in theory than in practice: "In the end, the restrooms, installed in early 2004, had become so filthy, so overrun with drug abusers and prostitutes, that although use was free of charge, even some of the city’s most destitute people refused to step inside them."
