    Bangladesh - History of Cyclone Damage in Bangladesh - thedailygreen.com

    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.

    Seattle area sees longest period of snow in more than decade

    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.

    Puget Sound hit with more snow

    Umm..the snow is coming down at a pretty good clip right now. There's an inch or two on my street.

    Quoted: "The good news is we're going to see a drop off in the snow around 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. just about everywhere," said KING 5 meteorologist.

    Sea Sick on a Plane - Gadling

    Pretty crazy. Even the second try, when they landed successfully, looked scary.

    Quoted: This video is worth watching. A Northwest airlines flight landing at SeaTac had a rough, and aborted, landing, due to high winds the other day.
