Here again...

What is the point posting all these weather links with no explanations

and Twitter links?

Just ignore the people who don't appreciate.

There's so much things happening that i'm a bit overwelming! I post informative tweets. If there are something that you don't understand please hask.

Officials in Bangladesh fear it will be the most powerful storm since Cyclone Sidr killed about 3,500 people in 2007. Most died as a result of sea water surging in.

While the storm's current wind speed is likely to reduce slightly before it makes landfall, India's weather department is predicting storm surges as high as 10-16 feet (3-5 metres). The rising of sea levels in this way can send deadly walls of water barelling far inland, devastating communities.

Informative tweets are two totally contradictory words.

Twitter is to news what fast food is to real food.
