The volcano in southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier sends ash into the air just prior to sunset ON Friday, April 16, 2010.  Thick drifts of volcanic ash blanketed parts of rural Iceland on Friday as a vast, invisible plume of grit drifted over Europe, emptying the skies of planes and sending hundreds of thousands in search of hotel rooms, train tickets or rental cars.

Stormy skies

In the past several months, powerful storms have wreaked havoc in many places, torrential rains in central Europe and parts of China, tornadoes in Australia, Montana and the American Midwest, and strong thunderstorms across the northeast. Now, as Tropical Storm Bonnie makes landfall in Florida and heads into the Gulf of Mexico, oil cleanup is being suspended, and the final "kill" operation is delayed for at least one more week. These storms have been destructive and deadly, but beautiful and awe-inspiring at the same time. Collected here are a handful of photographs of stormy skies, lightning strikes and storm damage from the past several months. (37 photos total)

Η ζωή περίπου 12 εκατομμυρίων ανθρώπων έχει αλλάξει ριζικά μετά τις πρόσφατες πλημμύρες στο Πακιστάν, τις χειρότερες τα τελευταία 80 έτη, σύμφωνα με επίσημη ανακοίνωση από την κυβερνητική Υπηρεσία Εκτάκτων Αναγκών.

Από την ίδια Υπηρεσία ανακοινώθηκε ότι «το πρόβλημα της διανομής ανθρωπιστικής βοήθειας και του κινδύνου εκδήλωσης επιδημιών εστιάζεται γεωγραφικά στο βορειοδυτικό Πακιστάν και συγκεκριμένα στην επαρχία Χίμπερ-Παχτούνκουα, αλλά και στο κεντρικό Πακιστάν, επακριβώς στις επαρχίες του Πεντζάμπ».

Οδυνηρή λεπτομέρεια; Στα 12 εκατομμύρια πλημμυροπαθείς δεν συμπεριλαμβάνονται εκείνοι που ζουν στην επαρχία Σιντχ στο νότιο Πακιστάν, όπως συνάγεται από τις τελευταίες κυβερνητικές ανακοινώσεις στο θέμα των πλημμυρών.
