Severe weather in torrential rainfall, hurricane. tornadoes across various Continents of Asia, Europe and America has alarmed the coastal dwellers around the World about the Month of August. In Phillipines, North Korea, China and Japan much property damage and the hundreds of lives that have been lost, due to flood and mudslide caused by much rainfall has been attributed to the severe weather in the early month of August in the far Middle Eastern Continent of Asia, besides the natural catastrophe in hurrricane Ernesto that has killed thirteen people in Mexico and inflicted wide range property damage in Americas as it continued Northwards to the USA and Canada. However, eventhough earlier prediction of severe weather has been made possible in weather forecasting for the required precautionary measures and earlier evacuation warnings, severe weather in natural catastrophes such as hurricane, tornadoes, flood and mudslide remains the scientific challenges that have not been overcome and will frequently continue to inflict damage on both Human life and property.-------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by Professor Godfrey Ohia.
