  8. http://www.earthweek.com/2012/ew121221/ew121221c.html Researchers are warning public health officials of a potentially deadly infection that can quickly begin to kill people after deadly tornado outbreaks. Studies by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Translational Genomics Research Institute focused on the deaths from infections in the Joplin, Mo., 2011 tornado disaster zone. They found some were infected by the fungus Apophysomyces, which is common in the soil, wood or water. It usually has no effect on humans. But when it is stirred up by tornado-force winds and enters deep puncture wounds caused by debris, it can spread uncontrollably through the body if not caught early. Five of the 13 people infected with it around Joplin died within two weeks of the tornado that devastated the community. Once the infection begins to ravage the body, the only option is to surgically remove sections of dead, damaged or infected tissue, in a process known as debridement. “There's clearly an entire world out there that we're not seeing on a regular basis. It takes a severe event like this tornado for us to come face-to-face with some of the more dangerous pathogens out there,” said David Engelthaler, former State of Arizona Epidemiologist.
  9. Stolen from JamieO Helpful hints to posting on AmericanWx this winter: - Post like a Tourette's Syndrome victim on meth - Be hyper-vigilant about 300+ hour threats - Always err on the side of ridiculous when posting your snow obs - Make devastating judgments about the quality of your winter based on one model run losing a storm - Never relax during a storm - dry slots can happen at any time - Never go outside during a snowstorm because you'll miss the latest radar update - A missed storm can be the worst thing that has ever happened in your life. Be sure to share those thoughts in your region's subforum. - If your region misses a storm, take it out on the subforum of the region that's getting the storm - Share every single forecast/idea you have, in great detail - what do those red taggers have over you other than experience and expertise? - The pro-snow mets are like a big brother who always gets you presents and tells you you're awesome all the time - The anti-snow mets are like a big brother who tries to push you down the basement steps and calls you mean names - Forky is like a big brother who sets your pet hamster on fire right in front of you - Smart, reasonable people = Big meanies and are your enemy - If the staff five-posts you or bans you, never forget there are hundreds of online forums where you can bash AmericanWx - Never forget that stuff like family, pets, significant others, girlfriends/boyfriends, work, life, etc. all take a back seat to frozen water crystals falling out of the sky
