Hi Friends in the north of Germany:
I wish you good luck that you will ride the storm out, the weather forecast has warned for, without any damages of you and your families and friends in personal as well as your houses and all other possessions. The experts has prognosticated a similar intensity like in 1962 when a big storm tide was devastating Hamburg anyhow don't lose the hope. The dykes and other protective installations are much better then 51 years ago. Schools and administrative facilities will be closed. I have some friends in this area too. Good Luck and be careful. I keep my fingers crossed. Best Regards |

Hi people. We have here in northwest Germany, a severe storm warning. Starting tomorrow morning at 10:00 it should go. Until Saturday morning. And it will be worse than last time. Last time here were fallen trees on the road outside my house.
 Wish me luck that everything remains intact. Good luck for Tarl, who live not far from me and some others who are also affected. But even that is nature.

[hidden image - please register] "In the midst of WWII, a British forest guard came across an alarming sight in the northern mountains of India: hundreds of human skeletons surrounding a high alpine lake. At the time, the British military worried that the skeletons might have been from Japanese soldiers trying to sneak into British territory, so they sent a squad of archaeologists out to examine the remains. Roopkund, known as the "Skeleton Lake," is located in an uninhabited area of the Himalayas, near the intersection of India, Tibet, and Nepal. The lake is at 16,500 feet above sea level, and the extreme cold temperatures and lack of human contact helped preserve the skeletal remains (and some bits of skin and hair) for hundreds of years. What the archaeologists quickly concluded was that the skeletons were ancient, dating to about 850 AD. They came from two groups of people: a group of people who were closely related (either a large family or a small tribe), and a smaller group of shorter people. Based on the way they were dressed, as ascertained from remains like metal rings and durable spears, the archaeologists decided that the skeletons belonged to a large group of people who had been traveling through the mountains. The related people were the travelers, and the group of shorter people were presumed to be their hired local guides and porters. The travelers had stopped at this remote, high mountain lake, probably to refill their water supplies and rest. And then they had all died. At the time, guesses ranged from ritual suicide to landslide and even an sudden epidemic. But in 2004 an expedition did further analysis and came to an interesting finding about the bizarre cause of death. The cause of death was the same for everyone: blows to the skull, but not from any ordinary weapons. All of the blows had been caused by hard, spherical objects, and all had landed on the head and shoulders, as if coming from directly above the travelers. The scientists concluded that the culprit was a freak hailstorm, one which dropped hailstones the size of baseballs on the travelers. The lake is barren, with no rocky outcroppings or trees where you would be able to take shelter, which means that a sudden barrage of giant hailstones could turn lethal for the entire party. Still unanswered is the question of who this large group of people was, and why they were traveling through the Himalayas. The forbidding area is on no known trade routes, and is far from the nearest human settlement." - freakyphenomena.com [hidden image - please register] [hidden image - please register] |

"What caused the incredible destruction in this remote Russian wilderness? The Tunguska event has been a mystery for over a hundred years. On June 30, 1908, an explosion occurred over the Tunguska river in Russia. The mysterious event, which went largely unrecorded at the time, knocked over about 80 million trees in an area the size of a large city. Eyewitnesses nearby reported seeing a huge, bright blue light streaking through the sky, followed by a colossal flash followed by an explosion that knocked people off their feet and blew out windows for miles around. Theories regarding the Tunguska event have been numerous over the years. The most common theory, and the one which was largely held by the scientific committee, was that it represented an airburst of a small meteorite. This unusual impact was difficult to prove, as the theorized meteorite did not hit the ground and leave a tell-tale crater like most other such strikes. Other theories have been floated, including the explosion of a chunk of antimatter, the natural venting of a pocket of gas from inside the Earth's crust, and the existence of a microscopic black hole (my personal favorite). However, researchers have been painstakingly combing over the soil and remaining tree debris in Russia, and they have finally discovered conclusive proof that a meteorite was the culprit. Fragments of minerals that could only have come from a meteorite have been found in the Tunguska blast zone, recovered from a nearby peat bog." - freakyphenomena.com [hidden image - please register] [hidden image - please register] |
