...crop out of elevators and silos to make way for the new harvest, they are building corn mountains on the ground in a desperate rush against nature's inexorable deadlines. Melvin Bell of Deer Creek stands these days and watches as his old corn is sprayed in a giant stream 40 ft. into the air to shower down and create another glowing peak that can be seen for miles across the tableland. "They say McDonald's has the Golden Arches," he chuckles. "We do better." Storing corn outdoors is risky. Bell lays down a sheet of porous polypropylene, adds gravel...
...found only yards from their crumpled clothes, overcome by asphyxiation. "I saw people dying, people dead all around," recalled Ephrem Ngong Kum, 24, of Su-Bum, a village some 200 miles northwest of Yaounde, Cameroon's capital. "They died in the houses, in streets, outside the forest, in the stream." Fellow Villager Chia David Wambong remembered a warm feeling, as if he were drunk.

Alarmed, most of the 500 residents of the nearby fishing village of Yakutat gathered in the Alaska Native Brotherhood Hall for a briefing by scientists who have flocked to study what the U.S. Geological Survey has called a "world-class natural event." By last week, waters of the stream-fed fjord, renamed Russell Lake, had risen more than 62 ft., and were still climbing, covering the beaches and then the steep, alder-lined banks...
...immediate danger, explained USGS Glaciologist Larry Mayo, is that the lake, now rising about 1 ft. a day, will spill out of its southern end into the Situk River (see chart), a salmon-spawning stream that is the economic lifeblood of Yakutat. If the lake overflows, the clear Situk could become a destructive torrent of silty water about 20 times its present volume, unfit for salmon and fishermen. "In another 500 to 1,000 years," says Mayo, "Hubbard Glacier could fill Yakutat Bay, as it did in about 1130." Susie Abraham, 85, a silver-haired elder of Yakutat's native...
