Russian Cold Kills at Least 40 People

By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV, Associated Press Writer Sat Jan 21, 4:47 PM ET

MOSCOW - Russia's severest cold in a quarter of a century, with temperatures in Moscow at minus 8 Saturday, has killed at least 40 people and strained the nation's crumbling infrastructure, with residents piling on the blankets and heating bricks to keep warm.

The big freeze extended to neighboring countries, killing four people in Estonia, one in Moldova and knocking out power and delaying trains in Poland.

In Moscow, rescue workers found five homeless or drunk people dead, the city emergency medical service said, bringing the number of deaths to more than 20 in the capital during the six-day cold that saw temperatures drop to minus 24 Thursday — coldest on that date since 1927.

Nineteen people have been hospitalized with hypothermia, the service said.

In Poland, the cold delayed trains, snarled traffic and prompted the Cabinet to allocate additional funds for homeless shelters and social services to protect the poor.

"We have to react to keep people from freezing," Prime Minister Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz said.

In the eastern Podlaskie province, temperatures plunged to minus 1, knocking out power to 1,900 homes, the media said.

In Turkey, an avalanche swept a mountainous road and threw a passenger bus into a ravine Saturday, killing eight and injuring 15 people, reports said.

Moscow temperatures warmed Saturday. but the city's weather service said temperatures were unlikely to rise above minus 4 before February, making it the coldest winter since 1978-1979, when temperatures plummeted to minus 36.4.

The cold has severely strained the nation's crumbling infrastructure, with electricity use surging to record levels as towns and cities struggled to keep indoor temperatures up and Russians turned to supplemental heating sources, including electric radiators to keep warm.

The use of gas heaters has resulted in several explosions. A gas canister exploded late Friday in an apartment building in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg, injuring nine residents, the local branch of the Emergency Situations Ministry said.

In the town of Gus-Khrustalny, 100 miles east of Moscow, several gas canisters exploded on the ground floor of a five-story apartment building, killing at least one person and injuring 10 late Friday, the ministry said.

The cold spell forced schoolchildren to stay home, while vendors at Moscow's outdoor food and clothing markets shuttered their booths and outdoor ATMs reportedly froze up. Traffic was uncharacteristically light as drivers were reluctant to venture out or unable to start their engines.

Mideast Wary As Bird Flu Kills in Turkey

By STEVEN R. HURST, Associated Press Writer Sun Jan 22, 11:11 PM ET

CAIRO, Egypt - Bird flu has killed in Turkey on the northern fringe of the Middle East, and residents in the Arab lands to the south fear migrating birds have already spread the virus to their countries.

No cases have been confirmed despite scares in Lebanon and Iraq, but many Arabs have stopped eating chicken, health officials are stockpiling medicine, poultry flocks have been culled and citizens have been warned to be alert for dead birds and people with symptoms of the disease.

Fears the virus is already among them deepened when Turkey's agriculture minister on Friday accused unnamed countries among its neighbors of concealing outbreaks. Turkey has confirmed the deadly H5N1 strain in 21 people, including four children who died.

A team of U.S. government flu experts on Sunday visited a hospital in Van, the eastern Turkish city where the children died. The team was hoping to assess what help the United States could provide and planned trips to bordering Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia.

Other countries bordering Turkey are Iran, Iraq, Syria, Bulgaria and Greece.

In Cairo, Imthithal Sayed, a 17-year-old student, said her mother "banned poultry from our house two months ago. She won't cook chicken or let us order it from takeout restaurants. I'm convinced it's dangerous. We don't want to get sick and die."

Experts say no one has caught bird flu from eating properly cooked poultry.

The H5N1 strain has killed at least 80 people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.

Fears that the virus had moved south erupted in northern Iraq on Tuesday when a 15-year-old girl in a Kurdish area near the border with Turkey and Iran died after contracting a severe lung infection. Her hometown of Raniya is just north of a reservoir that is a stopover for migratory birds from Turkey.

WHO officials subsequently said tests showed bird flu did not kill the girl, but confusion surrounding the case points to the possible chaos that could accompany a genuine outbreak in the region. Iraqi officials said tissue samples from the dead girl were sent to Amman, Jordan, for testing. The Jordanians said they had never received the samples.

On Thursday, the WHO announced in Geneva that the tests were negative, but Iraqi authorities said that was not conclusive. Then on Saturday, a WHO official in Cairo said the tests had actually been done by Iraq's Agriculture Ministry and that they were in fact negative.

Iraqis in the north of the country remained concerned nevertheless.

"We have not eaten chicken in our house for two months. And now the news from Turkey has had a big psychological impact," said Ashti Ibrahim, a 43-year-old homemaker in Kirkuk.

Merwan Jalal, a 51-year-old Kirkuk engineer, said his wife still prepared chicken dinners but "it just doesn't taste the same because we're obsessed with the disease."

In Lebanon, a sick 6-year-old boy was moved to Beirut for observation but health officials released him from the hospital Saturday after tests showed he did not have bird flu.

While none of the countries in the Middle East have yet reported a confirmed case of the disease either in birds or humans, all say they have programs in place to combat the disease should it appear. Poultry imports throughout the region are virtually frozen. In Egypt, cat owners can't even find imported food for their pets. Stocks have been impounded at Mediterranean ports until the scare is over.

Some Syrians aren't buying eggs despite government assurances there is no bird flu in the country.

"Maybe its true, but I prefer not to take chance or endanger my children," said Sahar Ahmed, a 45-year-old Damascus homemaker.

The Syrian government has put notices in the state-run media warning about the disease and some flocks have been culled after birds died from unexplained causes.

Jordan said it imported 60,000 doses of Tamiflu, Kuwait said it had 5 million Tamiflu capsules on hand, and Egypt said a local pharmaceutical firm was gearing up to make a similar anti-viral medication.

But in a part of the world renowned for fatalism, 30-year-old Mariam Mohammed said there wasn't much point in worrying.

"It's in God's hands. Our house is full of chicken."

Drought, anthrax threaten rare zebra with extinction
January 22, 2006

 Outbreaks of deadly anthrax exacerbated by a searing drought that has hit east Africa has killed scores of rare Grevy's zebras in Kenya and is threatening the endangered species with extinction, wildlife officials and scientists have said.

The zebras, known for their narrow stripes and large ears, are dying of anthrax at an alarming rate in the scrub-peppered, sprawling plains in and around Kenya's central Samburu National Reserve, one of their last remaining habitats, and more are feared to have perished further north, they said.

"They have died in the dozens in the northern part of the reserve and their carcasses are littered all over," said Fred Perezo Sunday, who administers Samburu for the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). "They face extinction."

Fewer than 5,000 Grevy's zebras are believed to live in the wild, nearly all of them in the vicinity of Samburu, about 230 kilometers (145 miles) north of Nairobi, and further north towards Kenya's border with Ethiopia.

The region is one of the worst-affected by the drought that has killed at least 40 people, threatens millions with famine, decimated livestock herds and placed Kenya's famed world-reknowned wildlife at risk.

In addition to drying up watering holes and making food scarce, the drought has stirred up naturally occuring anthrax spores from the parched earth, which are now exacting a heavy toll on the Grevy's zebra, a species less hardy than its mountain and plain cousins, officials said.

According to a report prepared by KWS and the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF), an acute form of equine anthrax began appearing in animals around Samburu in December as the zebras began mixing with livestock in competition for dwindling water and pasture.

 In the course of one week in early December, seven Grevy's zebras were found dead in the reserve and many of their carcasses indicated that blood had oozed from their body orifices before death, a characteristic of anthrax, it said.

"It is very unusual for this species to die in large numbers," the AWF said, warning that immediate steps needed to be taken to prevent the anthrax from spreading.

Since that report was issued in late December, many more Grevy's zebras have died, according to Perezo who said urgent action was needed to remove and destroy their anthrax-contaminated carcasses in order to reduce the chance of other animal and human infection.

"The carcasses are increasing the chances of transmission of the disease," he told AFP.

Conservationists say the Grevy's zebra population has decreased from 15,000 in 1970 to less than 5,000 that currently live in arid habitats in northern Kenya, southern Ethiopia and western Somalia.

More dead in Europe as big freeze sweeps east, centre
January 22, 2006

 Three more people have frozen to death in Moscow, two died in a fire in Estonia and a man died of exposure in Turkey as eastern and central Europe were in the grips of Siberian temperatures.

The latest deaths announced by Moscow's medical emergency service brought to at least 79 the number of people killed by the extreme cold of the last week in Russia.

In addition to the dead, 20 people were hospitalised with hypothermia, the Interfax news agency said Sunday.

Temperatures in the Russian capital eased slightly to about minus 18 Celcius (minus 0.4 Farenheit), after reaching as low as minus 23 C (minus 9.4 F) overnight.

[A Russian man braves freezing temperatures]
Authorities resolved a number of cases of failed heat supplies to homes in the Moscow region and traffic problems caused by heavy snowfall on the main Moscow-Volgograd road were also overcome, news reports said.

Around 500 people had been left without heat in a village in the southern province of Saratov however due to technical problems there, the RIA-Novosti news agency said.

Forecasters said temperatures would fall on Monday to minus 24 C (minus 11.2 F) but would rise later in the week to minus 12 C (minus 10.4) on Thursday.

Moscow's infrastructure was struggling to cope with the Siberian freeze that swept across the west of the country and on into eastern and central Europe.

Gas supplies to several European countries have also been disrupted as Russian officials concentrated on ensuring supplies for Russian households.

Italian energy group ENI said that Russian gas deliveries had fallen short of ordered deliveries for a fourth day on Saturday.

 Meanwhile an explosion on a Russian gas supply pipeline, attributed by officials to sabotage, cut supplies to Georgia and Armenia and looked likely to take several days to repair.

In Turkey a man died of exposure after walking in snow-covered mountains in the north of the country during exceptionally cold weather, Anatolia news agency said.

Police found 29-year-old Ahmet Yildiz dead and his companion, 27-year-old Ahmet Yildiz, suffering from hypothermia in the northern province of Gumushane, the agency reported late Saturday.

A cold snap, along with heavy snowfall, swept into northern and eastern parts of Turkey on Saturday, isolating more than 3,600 villages and cutting off electricity supplies to hundreds of others.

Turkey's national weather service predicted temperatures of down to minus 20 degrees Celsius (minus four degrees Fahrenheit) on Sunday in the east of the country and heavy snowfall in the west, including Istanbul.

In Estonia where temperatures fell to minus 26 C in the southeastern part of the Baltic nation rescue services reported problems with Western-made fire engines, which do not withstand the extreme temperatures.

"We have been forced to roll out our old Russian-made fire engines as they are more suitable for the current temperatures," a spokesman for the rescue services said.

"The Russian-made vehicles consume much more fuel but their vital systems do not freeze."

Several fires were caused again by overheating, the rescue services said, killing at least two people Sunday.

The cold front reached eastern parts of Germany overnight with temperatures dropping to minus 19 C from around zero C within less than 24 hours.

Fierce Winds Whip Through Southern Calif.

The Associated Press
Monday, January 23, 2006; 11:46 PM

LOS ANGELES -- Fierce Santa Ana winds whipping through Southern California on Monday fanned brush and house fires, knocked out power to 77,000 utility customers and littered roads with palm fronds and trash cans.

The dry wind, gusting near 70 mph in some places, roared out of the desert and down mountain passes and canyons to the coast, sending firefighters chasing outbreaks and toppling big rigs on highways.

One fire destroyed a home and damaged five others in the Tujunga section, and a blaze in suburban La Canada Flintridge forced evacuation of 15 homes before it was contained.

By Monday night, a wildfire pushed by 30 mph wind spread over about 100 acres of brush near Highland, in the foothills of the San Bernardino National Forest east of Los Angeles, a Forest Services spokeswoman said. The blaze did not immediately threaten any structures.

Most of the power outages were in San Gabriel Valley foothills and communities farther east.

The La Canada Flintridge blaze was ignited by a fallen power line. Authorities were investigating whether the Tujunga fire had the same cause.

In Santa Ana, a freeway billboard blew over, broke a power pole in half and smashed a pair of RVs. A huge oak tree fell on a house in Pasadena, and winds hampered firefighters battling a blaze that burned eight cars in Garden Grove.

Six tractor-trailers and one box truck were blown over on Interstate 15 and its transition roads with I-210 and I-10, the California Highway Patrol said. Another toppled rig blocked the truck lane on I-5 north of Los Angeles. No injuries were reported in the wrecks.

Panic as powerful quake jolts Indonesia

Jakarta (dpa) - A powerful earthquake jolted eastern Indonesian islands on Maluku province early Saturday, triggered panic - but there were no immediate reports of injury or damage, while a tsunami threat was ruled out.

The temblor, measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale, rocked various cities in eastern Indonesian islands on Maluku province at 1:58 a.m. local time Saturday said Jabar, an official at Jakarta's National Earthquake Centre office.

But the US Geological Survey recorded the quake measuring at 7.7 on the Richter scale. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center meanwhile ruled out a tsunami.

"This earthquake is located outside the Pacific. No destructive tsunami threat exists in the Pacific or elsewhere based on historical earthquake and tsunami data," it said.

Jabar said the quake's epicentre was in the Banda Sea, about 200- kilometres south of Ambon, the provincial capital of Maluku province, about 2,300 kilometres northeast of Jakarta. It occurred at about 400-kilometres beneath the seabed.

Jabar also said the quake was unlikely to trigger tsunami as it was took place in the deep below the sea. "It's unlikely the quake could trigger tsunami. It was took place in the so deep below the seabed," Jabar told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa.

However, he added, the powerful quake had jolted a number of cities in eastern Indonesia, including Ambon, Tual, and Saumlaki, and was felt as far as Sorong in Indonesia's easternmost province of Papua.

A local resident in Ambon told Jakarta's El-Shinta private radio that the quake prompted residents to run out their homes in panic.

"We have so far received no reports of structural damage or injury from those jolted towns," Jabar said.

It was the latest earthquake to hit Indonesia in recent weeks.

A massive earthquake triggered gigantic tidal waves that devastated thousands of homes and buildings along Aceh and North Sumatra's coastlines on December 2004, leaving up to nearly 170,000 people dead or missing, making it the worst ever natural disaster to ravage the country.

Alaska volcano erupts after 10 days of quiet

 ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - After 10 days of relative calm, Alaska's Augustine Volcano roared back to life late on Friday, shooting a cloud of ash 40,000 feet into the sky.

It was the 10th explosion since January 11, when the 4,134-foot (1,260-meter) volcano in southern Cook Inlet began an eruptive phase, reported the Alaska Volcano Observatory, a joint federal-state office.

As of late Friday, there were no reports of ash settling onto any of the nearby communities, but some was expected to drift onto Kodiak Island, southeast of the peak, said Janet Schaefer, a geologist with the volcano observatory.

Because it was dark when the eruption occurred, the ash was not visible to casual observers, she said. "We do see from satellite imagery that the ash cloud is moving southeast," she said.

Augustine is located about 175 miles southwest of Anchorage. The conical-shaped peak forms its own uninhabited island in Cook Inlet, the channel that runs from the Anchorage area to the Gulf of Alaska. It is the most active of Cook Inlet's volcanoes.

Despite more than a week of quiet, experts had anticipated another eruption at Augustine, Schaefer said. Seismic activity had been building at the site. "We knew something was coming up shortly," she said.

Before this month, Augustine's previous eruptive periods occurred in 1986 and 1976. The current activity "is looking a lot like what happened" in those years, with a series of explosive eruptions interspersed with days of quiet, Schaefer said.

Another Hurricane Record For 2005

MIAMI, Jan. 27, 2006

(AP) Last year's Atlantic season just got another hurricane.

Forecasters studying data from July's Tropical Storm Cindy found a pocket of wind hit 75 miles-per-hour, making it a hurricane.

That pushes the 2005 Atlantic hurricane count to 15.

Cindy hit land July fifth, causing an estimated $160 million in insured damage along the Gulf Coast.

Last year's season had already broken records for named storms and hurricanes. The 12 hurricanes in 1969 had been the most since record-keeping started.

The season runs June first through November 30th.

Twisters Add Insult to New Orleans' Injury
By JANET McCONNAUGHEY , 02.02.2006, 02:18 PM

Tornadoes tore through New Orleans neighborhoods Thursday that had been hit hard by Hurricane Katrina just five months earlier, collapsing at least one previously damaged house and battering the airport, authorities said.

Roofs were ripped off, utility poles came down and a radio tower fell near a major thoroughfare, but no serious injuries were reported.

"Don't ever ask the question, `What else could happen?'" said Marcia Paul Leone, a mortgage banker who was surveying the new damage to her Katrina-flooded home.

She would go no farther than the front porch of her house Thursday morning. Windows were blown out, and the building appeared to be leaning.

"I've been in the mortgage business for 20 years. I know when something's unsafe," she said.

Electricity was knocked out for most of the morning at Louis Armstrong International Airport, grounding passenger flights and leaving travelers to wait in a dimly lit terminal powered by generators. The storm also ripped off part of a concourse roof, slammed one jetway into another, and flipped motorized runway luggage carts.

"Everything's still backed up and the whole day is going to be messed up," airport spokeswoman Michelle Duffourc said after power returned midday.

The line of severe thunderstorms moved across the area around 2:30 a.m. Tim Destri, of the National Weather Service, said it appeared the damage was caused by two tornadoes, one that hit the airport and another that moved into New Orleans.

The storm collapsed at least one house in New Orleans' hurricane-ravaged lakefront, police said.

"I cannot believe this. We were hit twice. It's not bad enough we got 11 feet of water," said Maria Kay Chetta, a city grants manager. While her own home was not badly damaged, one across the street lost its roof and another had heavy damage to its front.

Police spokesman Capt. Juan Quinton, who lived in that area, said that gutters were ripped off his already flood-damaged house and that toppled trees blocked the alley behind his house.

A federal trailer was pulled off its moorings and plumbing hookups, he said.

"It's an act of God and there's nothing we can do about it, so I just don't worry about it anymore," Quinton said.

 La Nina's return threatens more hurricanes

ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Climate experts on Thursday confirmed the start of a mild cooling of the tropical Pacific Ocean known as La Nina.

It's too early to tell how that will affect spring and summer weather, they said, but often La Nina conditions coincide with stronger and more numerous hurricanes, wet weather in the Pacific Northwest and dry conditions in the South.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Prediction Center made the announcement at the American Meteorological Society's meeting in Atlanta, confirming the slight cooling of parts of the Pacific Ocean and changes in the jet stream.

Internationally, La Nina typically creates more rainfall across Indonesia and northern Australia and the Amazon basin, said Edward Alan O'Lenic, chief of the operations branch of the Climate Prediction Center.

La Nina is the opposite of the better known El Nino, a Pacific warming. The last La Nina was in 2000-2001.
