澳大利亚的Victoria（维多利亚州）去年遭受的严重的火灾。 VICTORIA has witnessed this country's greatest natural disaster. Worse than Black Friday. Worse than Ash Wednesday. That is the grim sum of a catastrophe that already exceeds all others — and which threatens to grow worse.The towns of Kinglake and Marysville have been wiped out and around the state more people have died than in any previous natural catastrophe — one so lethal that authorities are treating it like a major terrorist attack.The first of several interstate victim identification teams arrived yesterday to assist Victoria Police under a national terrorist contingency plan.More than 70 people died in the Black Friday fires of 1939 — and 75 on Ash Wednesday in 1983, 47 of them Victorians. But as the official death list topped 93 last night, senior police sources told The Age they feared the final figure would be much greater.维多利亚目睹了这个国家最大的自然灾害。比黑色更糟糕的周五。这是一个灾难，已经超过所有其他严酷之- ，并威胁在加剧。 在金莱克城镇和马里斯维尔已被消灭，并围绕国家有更多的人死亡的人数比以往任何自然灾害-一个非常致命的当局当成了重大的恐怖攻击。 几个州际受害者查验队昨天刚到协助下，国家恐怖主义的应急计划，维多利亚警方报案。 超过70人死于1939年黑色星期五火灾-灰和75日在1983年，其中47维多利亚。但随着官方公布的死亡名单超过93昨晚，警方高级消息人士告诉时代，他们担心最后的数字会更大。 Australlian Bushfire Takes 815,000 Acres of Land by Morgan Shortt - 31 weeks ago Rotarian and DRRAG member John Thorne states "The fire disaster in Victoria is now the worst domestic natural disaster in our European history in Australia. This is a natural disaster however it may be true that there have been arsonists at work as well." WHITTLESEA, Australia, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Weary firefighters and rescuers pulled the remains of dozens of people from charred buildings on Monday as the toll from Australia's deadliest bushfires rose to 171, police said."Everybody's gone. Everybody's gone. Everybody. Their houses are gone. They're all dead in the houses there. Everybody's dead," cried survivor Christopher Harvey as he walked through the town of Kinglake, where most people were killed.A Victoria state police spokesman told Reuters by telephone late on Monday the toll had risen to 171 from about 135 hours earlier. He said the toll would almost certainly rise further.Police believe some of the fires, which razed rural towns near the country's second biggest city, Melbourne, were deliberately lit and declared one devastated town a crime scene."There are no words to describe it other than mass murder," Prime Minister Kevin Rudd earlier told local television. "These numbers (of dead) are numbing."The bushfires are the country's worst natural disaster in more than a century, and will put pressure on Rudd to deliver a broad new climate policy.One massive bushfire tore through several towns in the southern state of Victoria on Saturday night, destroying everything in its path. Many people died in cars trying to flee and others were killed huddled in their homes, yet some escaped by jumping into swimming pools or farm reservoirs.The inferno was as tall as a four-storey building at one stage and was sparking spot fires 40 km (25 miles) ahead of itself as the strong winds blew hot embers in its path."It's going to look like Hiroshima, I tell you. It's going to look like a nuclear bomb. There are animals dead all over the road," said Harvey.More than 750 houses were destroyed and some 78 people, with serious burns and injuries, are in hospital.Many patients had burns to more than 30 percent of their bodies and some injuries were worse than the Bali bombings in 2002, said one doctor at a hospital emergency department.In Canberra, lawmakers fought back tears as they suspended parliament for the day after expressing condolences to the victims on behalf of the stunned nation."It is the beauty and the wonder of our country," National Party leader Warren Truss said. "It can also be harsh and cruel. How can these idyllic landscapes also become killing fields?"PLEAS FOR MISSING Thousands of firefighters continued to battle the main fires and scores of other blazes across Victoria on Monday, as well as fires in neighbouring New South Wales state. While cooler, calmer conditions helped firefighters, 10 major fires remained out of control in Victoria. But the week-long heatwave that triggered the inferno was over.The fires burnt out more than 330,000 ha (815,000 acres) of mostly bushland in Victoria, but a number of vineyards in the Yarra Valley were also destroyed. The Insurance Council of Australia said it was too early to estimate the bill.The small town of Marysville was sealed off by police as forensic scientists searched through the rubble for evidence. As dawn broke in the town of Whittlesea, near Kinglake, shocked residents wandered the streets, some crying, searching for loved ones still missing."The last anyone saw of them, the kids were running in the house, they were blocked in the house," cried Sam Gents, who had not heard from his wife Tina and three children, aged 6, 13 and 15, since the fire swept through Kinglake. "If they let me up the mountain I know where to go (to try and find them)," Gents sobbed. Police sealed off Kinglake, where at least 35 died, because bodies were still being recovered.Handwritten notes pinned to a board in the Whittlesea evacuation centre told the same sad story, with desperate pleas from people for missing family and friends to contact them.Rudd said it would take years to rebuild the devastated towns and has announced a A$10 million ($6.8 million) aid package. He has also called in the army to help erect emergency shelter.The previous worst bushfire tragedy in Australia was in 1983, when 75 people were killed.

If earthquake happened, firstly, don't panic and calm down. Secondly, find some safe place to stay and don't run in such a hurry. If in the room, one should hide himself/herself under something hard, such as desk, talbe or even bed and keep away from shelf and cupboard, and never take a lift to go downstairs. If in the open air, find an open place and never get close to cars or waterside. Thirdly, because when earthquake happen, there are also lots of other troubles to take place, for example fire. So we should help each other when we meet trouble. At last, no matter how strong the earthquake is, if only we have the belief to defeat it and never give up, we must be able to overcome any difficulties.

A Tragic Harvest CelebrationOn Sunday, August 10, 1924, four miles east of Thurman, Colorado, the Garrett, Yoder, and Kuhns families gathered at Henry Kuhns' ranch after a Mennonite service. Twenty-seven people had just finished a harvest celebration dinner. Just after 1:00 pm, one of the men spotted a tornado to the north, in the direction of an adjoining ranch. Very much in the Mennonite tradition of assisting people after disasters, Henry Kuhns and eight other men left to see whether help was needed. When they saw that no buildings had been hit, they returned to the ranch to witness the most tragic moment of their lives. What may have been the next member of that tornado family was bearing down from the west, directly at the ranch house. Eighteen women and children inside were apparently unaware of the approach of an intense, 100-yard-wide funnel. The men drove southward as fast as possible but, as they came to within 200 yards of the front gate, the house "trembled as if a giant unseen fist was shaking it." After a few seconds "the structure was ripped apart and its occupants hurled into the air." Ten of the 18 people died; nine of the 10 were children. The Newport FamilyIn a northwestern Kansas wheat field, not far from the Nebraska border, John Newport returned to his field chores after a brief rain shower had passed. The edge of an enormous thunderstorm, laced with brilliant lightning, had passed overhead and it seemed as if the worst of the storm was over.Life was not easy on the Great Plains of Phillips County, Kansas on May 25, 1932. For some members of the Newport family, life was about to become even harder. A muffled roar in the distance grew sharper and louder. As John began to move toward the house, he realized that the low, indistinct form in the distance was not rain or a patch of fog, but a rotating transparent cloud, beneath a dark mass of cloud extending under the southwest corner of the thunderstorm. An occasional snake-like form would briefly appear within the cloud, and then suddenly vanish. It was coming directly toward the farm.At his next glance, three or four contorted and transparent columns would briefly circle the center of what looked like a patch of swirling mist. The cloud looked nothing like the thin funnels and ropes that he had seen in the distance every few years. He now ran at full speed for the house, trying with each gasp to shout "Cyclone!" Within the next few seconds, seven people would make life or death decisions about contentd possessions, about family members, and about self preservation. The rotating cloud had changed from transparent mist to solid brown mass at the edge of the newly plowed fields and continued to advance relentlessly on the small cluster of farm buildings.With the edge of the vortex still to the southwest, the corner of the roof suddenly gave way and the 30-year-old cottonwood trees that surrounded the house began to snap. A powerful jet of air, flowing into the tornado, began ripping at the house and the entire building vibrated as the unearthly roar grew steadily louder. One child grabbed a prized locket from a dresser, another gazed at the barnyard full of panic-stricken animals, another yelled for the dog. The oldest stared in denial at her mother; the youngest just stood and cried.The mother had but one thought, that everyone head immediately for the small root cellar. The storm cave, dug some distance from the house, was now out of reach behind a growing wall of flying debris. The root cellar was the only remaining refuge. The children went first, the mother grabbing each by the arm, and quickening their movement by a half-step. The father braced himself against the kitchen door. The last child was on the steps when the parents finally moved toward the cellar, but the first of the intense whirling columns had reached the house.In later interviews, none of the children mentioned whether there was, between the parents, a final glance at one another. If there were final words at the top of the stairs, they were not heard above the deafening roar. Winds in excess of 200 mph created a pressure of 20 tons on the side of the small farm house and the building finally reached its limit of resistance. In an instant, a lifetime of work ..... walls, beams, plaster, furniture, tools, clothes, toys, books, and family treasures were all airborne. Some would fall only a few hundred feet away; smaller bits and pieces would be carried 120 miles. Sheet metal and boards flew across the barnyard at 150 feet per second, impaling anything that was standing. The 12-inch-thick hand-hewn sills, on which the house had sat for forty years, would hit the ground a quarter-mile away and plunge eight feet into the prairie soil. An entire cottonwood tree was found two miles away.After a few minutes the children emerged from the cellar, not into the kitchen, but out into a rain and hail storm. They located the lifeless body of their mother about 100 yards from the empty foundation. The father, barely alive, was found 200 yards further away, across the state line in Nebraska. His last words were instructions to get to the nearest neighbor for help, a half mile away. He fell into unconsciousness in the arms of his eldest daughter. The children, Mildred, Martha, Eleanor, Dean, and Paul, ages 3-15, ran through a barrage of five-inch-diameter hail. They arrived at the next farm battered, bloodied, with broken arms and ribs. John died a few hours later neighbor's living room. The children began new lives with their grandparents.EpilogueIn mid-March, we were incredibly surprised to receive an email from a man in Arkansas. Much to our amazement, he is the grandson of John Newport, Martha's son, the next oldest daughter. He lives only a few miles from the Arkadelphia tornado path. He is involved with a Cub Scout troop, and they decided to study tornadoes. They went onto the WWW to see if they could find any information about the subject, and discovered this page. He was flabbergasted to find himself reading about his own family! Shortly afterware, we were able to speak with Eleanor, and found that she remembered details about the tornado that were not in the story. Eleanor's most vivid memory is of the corner of the house lifting up and the light appearing just above the floor. The children crawled underneath the remnant of a door to seek shelter from the pounding hail. In a state of shock, the next thing she remembered was waking up at the neighbor's home hours later. The daughters were kept pretty much together by other members of the family, and all graduated from the local high school before they went their own ways.We had a very pleasant visit with Eleanor in June, 1997. She, her husband, and their three children farmed wheat and cattle in southern Nebraska, not far from the Kansas border. Now 79, Eleanor is retired, but is very active keeping her lawn and garden neat and blooming. A few of her old photos are below. They are right above the photo of the storm shelter that sits about 20 feet from their home. It was one of the first things Eleanor and her husband built after moving there.Eleanor in June, 1997This is all that was left of the Newport family's home, an empty foundation with a washing machine next to it. Eleanor told us that she had no idea of who the people were that were in the photo. Many area residents came by to look at the damage. She said that you can still see tree damage at the site. We intended to go there as well, but 3 inches of rain had fallen the night before, and the road to the home site was a quagmire.This was other tornado damage at the Newport farm.The storm cellar at Eleanor's home. The door leads down a set of steps and into a dry, roomy cellar. She stores her home-canned fruits and vegetables there, so it serves double duty.

I don’t believe that being robbed on the street by a stranger is a common experience. However, should you ever be unfortunate enough to come across it, you must know the way to protect yourself. Generally speaking, the culprit is only interested in the valuables that you have on you, so give them to him. Always remember that your life is more valuable than those cash, mobile phone or jewellery. The robber would not attack you if he thinks that he cannot overpower you, thus you must not try to wrestle or attack him. In fact, that would make him angry and he might even hurt you. The best way to hand over your valuables is to throw them far into the distance; and while the robber goes after them, quickly run in the opposite direction to somewhere with a lot of people and get help. Always remember, your life comes before any of the valuables; and that under most circumstances, you will not be hurt if you cooperate.
