It seems like winter is closely coming to an end. It's only the 18th day of 2010 and already we've seen some catastrophic and amazing feats.
Natural disasters:
In the Philippines, Volcano Mayon erupted. It couldn't wait for the new year to begin and on December 15, 2009 filipino authorities evacuated 50,000 residents on the foot of Volcano Mayon.
In Haiti, a 7.0 earthquake devastated the country on January 12, 2010. The USGS also raised a tsunami watch. The Haitian people also faced 5.9 levels of aftershocks.
The weather:
In the Atlantic region of the United States, we experienced a blizzard late December. We got about 2 feet of snow and it wasn't until the week of January 10 did we get temperatures warmer than 36 degrees Fahrenheit.
Today, I woke up to the peaceful sound of rain. It's 44 degrees Fahrenheit.
We'll see what this week has for us.
