So that's why you often don't get the "I'm not a robot" checkbox when you try to comment here with Chrome. I gave up using Chrome when I'm browsing HW. Have to use Firefox just for this site :-\<br /><br />Of course, just when I think I have a workaround, now Firefox has the same problem. Trying from Chrome now. So it would *appear* to be just down to the interaction between Blogger and Wordpress, and nothing to do with the browser. OK, that's just a WAG based on the evidence so far :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-74667836016887811722015-11-01T11:22:00.806+11:002015-11-01T11:22:00.806+11:00Good point about the former weather announcer not ...Good point about the former weather announcer not talking about... weather.Magmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-4271066321003934552015-11-01T10:52:21.029+11:002015-11-01T10:52:21.029+11:00In case of confusion...

The highly unusual tropical cyclone in the Indian Ocean - Persian Gulf is about to hit the Eastern end of Yemen.<br />It is a sparsely populated area. The largest urban center at highest risk is probably the administrative center Al Ghaydah. This has already been a site of conflict, it was where the Americans intercepted an Iranian cargo ship carrying modern surface-to-air missiles to the Houthi rebels. Perhaps if they had reached the rebels the Saudis might have hesitated before bombing the Al Ghaydah prison and civilian areas. Allegedly.<br /><br />Have a look at the google map or world view of this city with the satellite view. <br /><br />https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@16.2417753,52.0958635,63705m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en<br /><br />It is built on the banks of the Wadi Dhahawn. The coastal area gets 0-2 inches of rainfall average per year. Really they get their water from rains in the inland hills which drains via the wadi Dhahawn. That catchment area is about to get several years worth of rain in a brief few days.<br /><br />It is unlikely effective measures can be taken to protect the population given the chaotic political situation. It is unlikely the MSM will have any reports from an area that has been off limits to the UN observers and famine relief efforts. Drought has been a regional problem associated with the civil unrest.<br /><br />But I hope some effort is being made to evacuate those parts of the city that are obviously on the floodplain. Perhaps the diligence of the US anti-smuggling operation in the area, and the enthusiasm of the Saudis to 'help' the country can be directed towards aid in the aftermath of this 'Natural' disaster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
