Tropical storm force winds, at least 39 mph, extended outward up to 250 miles to the north and 200 miles to the south of the center...
...Matamoros, Mexico, across the Rio Grande. Downpour turned to deluge, dumping two inches of rain in 30 minutes -- apparently enough to collapse the structure housing the store into a murderous heap of concrete and metal. Dozens of people were crushed or trapped in the rubble. One wall tumbled outward, killing a woman sitting in a car parked in front of the store.

...more dangerous are solar flares, which usually blossom on the sun around the peak of the eleven-year solar cycle. During these massive explosions, which astronomers can spot in the form of extra-bright splotches suddenly appearing on the sun, bursts of X rays and charged particles are hurled outward at high velocities.

Then she joked about inviting one of her harshest critics to her birthday party. While everyone involved in the show acknowledges that she has helped at the box office, Director Mosher says her notoriety cuts both ways: "You don't want...
