OT: Looks like Sri Lanka's not out of the ***** yet... |
Cyclone threatens Sri Lanka
http://www.news24.com/News24/World/Tsunami_Disaster/0,,2-10-1777_1644851,00.html
Colombo - Sri Lanka's tsunami-battered shores are in danger of being hit
by a cyclone which is building off its east coast, the meteorological
department warned on Sunday.
"It is not a cyclone at the moment, but there is a possibility of a
cyclone within the next 24 hours," department deputy director Lalith
Chandrapala told AFP.
Alerts were being sounded on radio telling people still trying to come
to terms with the tsunami devastation to be "cautious and vigilant," he
said.
A low pressure system had developed in the Bay of Bengal around 300km
southeast of the town of Hambantota, Chandrapala said.
"There is no immediate threat to Sri Lanka, but if it develops into a
cyclone then we will issue a cyclone alert."
Chandrapala said the department had cautioned all government offices and
police on the southeast and eastern coast, especially in districts such
as Ampara and towns like Galle, Matara and Hambantota.
"We are telling people to listen to radio bulletins so that they can be
alert and if it strikes it is easier to evacuate people," he said,
adding, however, "We are not expecting any need for that."
A statement by the department said rain or thunderstorms with isolated
heavy falls and windy conditions would prevail in the eastern Ulva and
southern provinces and in parts of central province overnight and on Monday.
"Strong winds, frequent showers and rough seas are expected in the sea
areas off the coast extending from Trincomalee to Matara via
Hambantota," the statement added.
Sri Lanka was seriously damaged by the tsunamis that struck on December
26, with more than 30 700 people killed and almost a million left homeless.

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-
