Extreme Weather that might kill people at times…

The 1970 Bhola cyclone was a devastating tropical cyclone that struck East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and India's West Bengal on November 11, 1970. It was the deadliest tropical cyclone ever recorded, and one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern times. Up to 500,000 people lost their lives in the storm. There used to be houses there…

The Worst monsoon ever recorded flood Assam, north-western India The Worst monsoon ever recorded flood Assam, north-western India. Two million people were marooned at ground level and had food packets dropped down from a helicopter. This was on July 1st, 2012.

The most extreme tornado in recorded history, the Tri-State Tornado The most extreme tornado in recorded history, the Tri-State Tornado. The Tornado ripped through Missouri, Illinois and Indiana on March 18, 1925. It went for 219 miles (352 km), it went for about 3.5 hours. And it had the fastest forward speed of 73 mph (117 km/h). It is the deadliest tornado in the united states killing 693 people.

The Great Smog On the Friday 5th till Tuesday 9 December, an anti-cyclone rested into a windless London, causing a temperature inversion. This was the cold, stagnant air, trapped under a layer of warm air. This fog resulted with chimney smoke and other particles from vehicle exhausts. When the smog eventually cleared away there was a black-grey covering of slimy particles covering the top surfaces of doors. The disgusting smell was acrid and wet.

On March 13 2011, a huge tsunami hit japan and kept going, it also hit a nuclear power plant, over 10,000 people died and thousands could be injured and homeless. Experts fear that the nuclear meltdown could release large amounts of uranium and other dangerous contaminants into the environment.

The Biggest Dust storm in living memory rolls into Phoenix, Ariz, on July 5 2011, reducing visibility to zero. This desert thunderstorm kicked up a mile high wall of sand of doom.

On the afternoon of the 12, April, 1934, Mount Washington recorded the fastest wind blown at 231 mph (372 kph). The Mount Washington wind gust was actually recorded by a human.

Ice Bowl The 1967 NFL Championship between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys became known as the "Ice Bowl" because, well, it was icy. It remains the coldest game ever in the NFL, at -15 degrees with a wind chill of -48 degrees. Lambeau Field's turf-heating system actually malfunctioned before the game, leaving the turf rock-hard. Officials actually had to resort to calling out plays and penalties because when referee Norm Schachter blew his metal whistle, it actually froze to his lips. Packers great Ray Nitschke said the next day he had six of his toes were frostbitten.

2008 Champions League Final It was Manchester United who played Chelsea in the driving rain of Moscow. The field was soaking wet with players slipping everywhere. Even when they were walking. Chelsea player John Terry slipped during a penalty kick which could have won his team the final.
