A small change in the weather on Wodins day? 2nd Nov 01:24.

Funny that it is moving east. I would have put it a little further
west:
25th Oct 01:17.

Typhoon Kai-Tak was a powerful typhoon when it was observed by the
Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra
satellite at 10:10 a.m. local time on October 30, 2005. At that time,
Typhoon Kai-Tak had sustained winds of 140 kilometers per hour (85
miles per hour), and the storm continued to gather strength as it moved
northeastward toward a projected landfall on the northern Vietnamese
coast.

Something to bear in mind -unless you are of a Gretna, Louisiana
persuasion:

The steep mountains of northern Pakistan came tumbling down when a
powerful 7.6-magnitude earthquake rocked the region on October 8, 2005.
The earthquake isolated already hard-to-access villages and cities in
both Pakistani and Indian Kashmir when roads crumbled or were covered
with landslides. Fifty-seven thousand people had died in Pakistan as of
November 1, a number that could grow as winter settles over the
Himalayas, stranding survivors without food or shelter.

Lots more stuff on there of course.

OT

Gretna is the white middle-class suburb of New Orleans that was spared
the worst of it but extended the problems for those who bore the brunt
of the hurricane known a Katrina.

Its mayor and police force are either Klansmen or direct decendants.

It will be interesting to see if there is a god.
