The tsunami generated by the earthquake killed approximately 275,000 people, making it one of the deadliest disasters in modern history. The disaster is also known as the Boxing Day Tsunami. Various values were given for the magnitude of the earthquake, a Rare great earthquake, ranging from 9.0 to 9.3 (which would make it the second largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph), though authoritative estimates now put the magnitude at 9.15. http://campbells.net/document.php?id=444 Over 80,000 killed along the India-Pakistan border. http://campbells.net/document.php?id=443 at Ann Sobrato HS in Morgan Hill, CA http://campbells.net/document.php?id=442 Early on the morning of Saturday, September 24, Hurricane Rita came ashore near Sabine Pass, TX. Rita had been a Category 5 monster a few days earlier, but had weakened to a Category 3 by the time it made landfall. Rita caused further levee breaks in New Orleans (originally caused by Hurricane Katrina) and severe flooding in southwestern Louisiana. Mom & Dad returned to Beaumont on Saturday night to find that their house was intact, but without power. http://campbells.net/document.php?id=441 Katrina was the most devastating hurricane to hit the United States in recorded history. It made landfall just east of New Orleans, near Biloxi, Mississippi, pushing a 28-foot storm surge up to 30 miles inland. The rains caused levee breaks in and around New Orleans, which rapidly flooded the entire city. Mismanagement by state and local authorities coupled with a slow response by FEMA led to widespread civil unrest and looting. More than a million people were displaced by the storm and resultant flooding; the Houston Astrodome, Reliant Arena, and numerous other large facilities were converted into shelters in Texas, Arkansas, and around the nation. New Orleans had barely stabilized a few weeks later when Hurricane Rita (qv.) caused renewed flooding. http://campbells.net/document.php?id=440 The tale of Thomas, a Scotich folk tale!! http://campbells.net/document.php?id=439 Still in Morgan Hill, CA, they now take up residence in 17100 Viewcrest Ln. http://campbells.net/document.php?id=438 In a series of near-simultaneous attacks, four Islamofascists detonated bombs on board three London Underground trains and a bus, killing more than 50 people and wounding hundreds.
