...Despite the risk, only 27 coastal communities have the warning systems and evacuation plans they would need to be certified Tsunami Ready by the National Weather Service. "There should be more, and we're working aggressively to increase that number dramatically," says Troy Nicolini, the service's warning coordination meteorologist. "The scary thing is, the farther we get away from that event in the Indian Ocean, the [more the] momentum dies down and the funding dries...

...could have been much worse, according to the National Weather Service. "It was a highly unusual storm for this time of year and, and while it may not seem like it, we were actually extremely lucky," said senior meteorologist Ed Shimon. "Had the atmosphere been just a little more unstable, with this mix of cold and hot air, that instability could have spun up a storm like we saw in May of 1999 in Oklahoma City, when that city was just devastated. These were some of the strongest rotations I've ever seen...

Clouds welled up and burst into showers, and lightning bolts zigzagged menacingly. A meteorologist later estimated that a downdraft was rushing through the thunderstorm cell at 80 m.p.h. The huge plane descended, but suddenly plunged belly first to the ground a mile north of Runway 17 at the nation's largest airport (roughly the size of Manhattan). The L-1011 bounced off the turf and came down again a quarter-mile away...

...West usually goes through a fire season in the last weeks of summer, but the ferocious blazes rarely start this early. "It's burning like October," said Dan Kleinman of the U.S. Forest Service. Meteorologists blame a mammoth high-pressure system, centered over Utah and bringing temperatures as high as 112 F, for the weather conditions that have fostered the fires.
