The Red Cross estimated an initial 2000 people were in urgent need of emergency supplies, while the death toll had climbed to 31 and would probably rise further. A state of emergency was declared in the provinces of Southern and Western Highlands, Hela and Enga, allowing extra funding to be released by neighbouring countries and aid organisations including the Red Cross.

It’s a bombogenesis powerful storm. Parts of Boston on Friday and the rest of coastal Massachusetts have been flooded at high tide, when the third highest tide on record at 14.67 ft with storm surges rising to almost 4ft hit. Winter Storm Riley dumped heavy rain and up to 18 inches of snow along the East Coast on Friday all of this accompanied by hurricane force winds. 2,600 flights were cancelled on Friday as the storm took hold and another 1,400 were delayed. Some 500,000 people are already without power and more outages are expected throughout the day. Officials in Massachusetts say it is worse than the January 4 storm and will most probably cause damage to homes. Voluntary evacuation zones are in place along the Massachusetts coast and will remain until Sunday. AmTrak suspended all service between New York and Boston on Friday as a result of the severe conditions.

They were either grazing normally with their newborn calves or dying where they stood, as if a switch had been turned on. I've never seen anything like that." [so cause WASN'T biological!]<br /><br /> there was no time for transmission of the pathogen from animal to animal. It was too quick," he says. "Within two or three days, everything was dying. By the end of the week, every single one was dead." <br /><br />The scientists on the ground pinpointed blood poisoning as the cause, but were puzzled as to why whole herds were dying so quickly. After 32 postmortems, they concluded the culprit was the bacterium Pasteurella multocida, which they believe normally lives harmlessly in the tonsils of some, if not all, of the antelopes. In a research paper published in January in Science Advances, Kock and colleagues contrasted the 2015 MME with the two from the 1980s. They concluded that a rise in temperature to 37C and an increase in humidity above 80% in the previous few days had stimulated the bacteria to pass into the bloodstream where it caused haemorrhagic septicaemia, or blood poisoning. <br />[more; idk, but they blame temps with bats & starfish too]<br /><br />[more below]<br /><br /><br /><br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819564675299071481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-2745143232080722582018-03-02T10:53:10.301-06:002018-03-02T10:53:10.301-06:00The wind started ta-howlin' and bang, the powe...The wind started ta-howlin' and bang, the power went out.<br /><br />Final transmission until it's restored. <br /><br />If this is IT, it's been a pleasure makin' your acquaintance everyone.<br /><br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819564675299071481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-36211924811514289022018-03-02T07:40:41.049-06:002018-03-02T07:40:41.049-06:00News Links, March 2, 2018
