In article , Scott W writes A bit of Sunday reading for you all. What I find fascinating is how this happened two weeks before Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated - exactly the same timescale as the lightning strike in 1939 that happened two weeks before Neville Chamberlain declared war on Germany http://wansteadmeteo.wordpress.com/2...n-storm-marked -slide-into-ww1/ Gosh, aren't coincidences interesting. And how much credence can you give a writer who got the date wrong in his very last sentence? It should be September 3rd not 4th which of course means that the violent storm on 21st August was only 13 days before Chamberlain's announcement, not 14. Oops! -- Malcolm

Fixed. Thanks for your valid insight, and I'm impressed that somebody bothered reading to the end of the piece. I don't quite know what you mean about credence. This is a personal blog written for no personal gain, merely the love of sharing my knowledge with anyone who is interested.
