Tsunami na ostrove Samoa by kristina leskova

Žijeme až príliš rýchlo. A potom nie sme schopní stihnúť všetky veci, ktoré by sme ešte chceli urobiť. Niekedy je jednoducho sila prírody silnejšia ako ľudstvo. A potom stačí len pár sekúnd a už sa hovorí alebo píše o katastrofe. Nezáleží pritom, či sa jedná o zemetrasenie, požiar, potopu, tsunami, nejakú búrku alebo inú pohromu. Každá táto situácia nastáva pomerne rýchlo a spôsobuje smrť alebo dôsledkom sú katastrofálne škody. Príroda je silnejšia! ako človek a nemáme sa pred ňou ako chrániť. Žijeme v tak materiálnom svete a nezaujímame sa o prírodu. Myslím si, že všetky tieto pohromy môžeme vnímať ako určitú odplatu od prírody. Ak sa nestaráme o prírodu, ona sa nebude starať o nás. Ostrovný štát Samoa bol v stredu zasiahnutý zemetrasením. A nebolo to len zemetrasenie, pokračovalo to tsunami, ktoré spôsobili smrť mnohých ľudí. Posledné správy tvrdia, že je tu viac ako sto obetí. A medzi týmito obeťami sú minimálne tri deti. Západná Samoa je samostatný štát a očakáva pomoc od Austrálie a Nového Zélandu. Vlna sa tu dostala až 800 metrov do vnútrozemia. Nevieme ešte určiť presný počet mŕtvych alebo zranených ľu! dí. Pretože sa predpokladá, že vlna mohla ! mnoho &# 318;udí zmiesť do mora. Vlny dosahovali výšku až štyroch metrov a poškodili množstvo osád. Úradníci zaznamenali otrasy s magnitúdou 8,0 Richterovej stupnice. Mnohí obyvatelia boli varovaní pred zemetrasením a mnohí z nich na základe toho aj opustili pobrežie a utiekli do bezpečia. Epicentrum zemetrasenia sa nachádzalo 18 km pod morským dnom a až takmer 195 km od hlavného mesta ostrovu Samoa.

Tsunami in Samoa
by kristina leskova

We are living too quickly. And then it is not possible to catch all the things that we would like to. Sometimes the power of nature is stronger than mankind. And in just few seconds we have to talk and write about disaster. It makes no difference if there was an earthquake, fire, flood, tsunami, some storm or other. All of them come very quickly and cause death of people or catastrophic damages. The nature is stronger than a man and we can not shelter from it. We live in such a material world and we do not care of nature. I think that all these disasters are some kind of revenge from nature. If we do not take care of nature, it will not take care of us. On Wednesday there ! was a huge earthquake in Samoa. And there was not only earthquake, it continued with tsunami which killed many people. Last reports say that there are more than one hundred victims. And between the victims are at least three children. The Western Samoa is autonomous state and awaits the help from Australia and New Zealand. The wave came 800 meters into the inland on the Western Samoa. We can not say how many people were killed. Because many of the people could the waves flush into the sea. The waves were about four meters high and they damaged many settlements. The officials reported a powerful 8,0 magnitude earthquake. Many of the citizens were warned against the earthquake and lot of them left the coast. The epicenter of the earthquake was 18 km under the sea bottom and about 195 km from the main city of Samoa.

Predupreduvanja by Claudia Sonea

Sezonskite čestitki se transformiraat vo sezonski predupreduvanja. Esenta e godišno vreme za žneenje, za vrakjanje vo učilište, za pantaloni i bluzi, za čadori, zašto sekako ke zavrne. Onie od vas koi živeat pokraj morskoto krajbrežje, imaat pogolemi griži i mora da se podgotuvaat za uraganite. Postoi uraganot Fred koj se formiraše vo jugozapadniot del na ostrovite Kape Verde, vo istočnata strana na Atlantskiot Okean, so intenzivni vetrovi za koi se očekuva da dostignat silina do treta kategorija, spored skalata na Safir-Simpson. Sepak, Nacionalniot centar za uragani osigura deka toj ne pretstavuva zakana za! zemjata i deka do četvrtok, treba da oslabne. Od tropski bran jugo-jugoistočno od Kape Verde, se formiraše tropskata bura Erika, na 1 septemvri, vo severoistočniot del na ostrovite Livard, no dva dena podocna toj se pretvori vo depresija i isčezna. Isto taka prisutna e i tropskata bura Linda, koja se dviži bavno nad Pacifikot vo južnata točka na meksikanskiot poluostrov Baha Kalifornija. Do ovoj moment, ne postoi značitelna promena na nejzinata moknost, spored sovetodavnoto telo na Nacionalniot centar za uragani. Vo suština, uraganskata sezona obično počnuva na 1 juni i ke završi na 30 noemvri, no za vreme na esenta opasnosta se zgolemuva kako što uraganite stanuvaat sé posilni i počesti. Godinava, sezonata započna porano so tropskata depresija Eden, sledena od tropskite buri Ana i Klodet, uraganot Bil, tropskite buri Deni, Erika i uraganot Fred. Za srekja, do sega zemjata ostana nedopren! a i da gi držime našite palci za rabotite da se dvi&! #382;at vaka do krajot. Vo sekoj slučaj, podobro vo vašite podrumi stavete si mnogu krpi, obleka, kebinja i mebel, ako živeete na krajbrežjeto.

Avertissements by Claudia Sonea

Des salutations saisonnières sont transformées en des avertissements saisonniers. L'automne est une saison de la moisson, de rentrée scolaire, de porter du pantalon et des chemisiers, des parapluies parce qu'il pleuvra certainement. Ceux de vous qui vivent au bord de la mer, vous avez de plus grand malaises comme la préparation pour les ouragans. Il y a l'ouragan de Fred qui s'est formé dans le sud-ouest des Îles du Cap Vert, à l'est de l'Océan Atlantique avec les vents intenses dont on suppose qu'ils se renforceront jusqu'à un ouragan de la catégorie 3 sur l'échelle de Saffir-Simpson. C! ependant, le Centre national d'ouragan a assuré qu'il ne représente pas une menace de l'évacuation et qu'il s'affaiblira vers jeudi. D'une vague dans le sud-est tropical du Cap Vert la tempête tropicale Erika s'est formée le 1er septembre dans le nord-est des Îles Leeward, mais deux jours plus tard elle s'est transformé en dépression et a alors disparu. Il y a également la tempête tropicale Linda qui se déplace lentement au-dessus du Pacifique dans le bout méridional de la péninsule Baja California du Mexique. Jusqu'à ce moment il n'y a aucun changement lapidaire de sa force, selon the NHC Advisory. En fait la saison d'ouragan commence habituellement le 1er juin et elle finira le 30 novembre, mais pendant l'automne les dangers augmentent pendant que les ouragans deviennent plus forts et plus fréquents. Cette année, la saison a commencé plus tôt par la dé! ;pression tropicale One, suivie de la tempête tropcale An! a, la te mpête tropicale Claudette, l'ouragan Bill, la tempête tropicale Danny, puis la tempête tropicale Erika et l'ouragan Fred. Heureusement, cette année la terre est restée assez intactée et maintenons nos doigts croisés pour que les choses continuent ainsi jusqu'à la fin. De toute façon, fournissez vos sous-sols avec beaucoup de serviettes, de vêtements, de couvertures et de provisions, si ça se trouve que vous vivez sur la côte.

Fanatik v lietadle by kristina leskova

Čoho všetkého sú ľudia schopní? Jeden príklad pochádza z Mexika. Jose Flores (44-ročný muž) je náboženský fanatik pochádzajúci z Bolívie. Rozhodol sa, že z plážovej oblasti Cancun v Mexiku unesie lietadlo. Tento fanatik vypovedal, že Boh mu prikázal, aby tak urobil a že mal aj zjavenie. Flores tvrdí, že stredajší dátum 9-9-09 je satanistické číslo, len otočené naopak. A aký bol jeho tajomný plán? V čase, keď lietadlo pristávalo, vstal a posádke ukázal plechovku spoloč! ne s vyhlásením, že sa jedná o bombu. Potom povedal, že on a ďalší traja ľudia uniesli toto lietadlo. Potom musel pilot sedemkrát obkrúžiť mesto Mexiko a únosca chcel hovoriť s mexickým prezidentom Felipe Calderonom, lenže ako Jose povedal neskôr, cieľom rozhovoru malo byť varovanie pred prichádzajúcim zemetrasením. Našťastie lietadlo bolo izolované na jednej z posledných dráh a tak mohlo letisko ostať otvorené. Táto dramatická situácia sa skončila veľmi šťastne, všetci pasažieri a celá posádka bola prepustená a našťastie sa nikto z nich nezranil. Neskôr polícia zistila, že plechovka, ktorá bola označená za nebezpečnú bombu, bola len obyčajná plechovka s džúsom. A ostatné tri osoby, ktoré! sa mali podieľať na únose lietadla s Jose Flor! esom, bo li Otec, Syn a Duch Svätý. Jeden úradník povedal, že Jose Flores je drogovo závislý, bol usvedčený z ozbrojeného prepadu v Bolívii a v Mexiku žije už približne 17 rokov. Avšak americkí, francúzski a mexickí pasažieri boli dostatočne vystrašení, aj keď sa nič vážnejšie nestalo. Lenže nikdy nevieš, čoho všetkého sú ľudia schopní. Cestovanie lietadlom je pomerne bezpečné, lenže na palube sa nachádza množstvo pasažierov a niektorí z nich môžu byť pre ostatných nebezpečenstvom.

Fanatic in a plane by kristina leskova

What everything are people able to do? One example can be given from Mexico. Jose Flores (44 years old man) is a religious fanatic from Bolivia. He decided to hijack an airplane from the beach resort Cancun in Mexico. This fanatic said that God told him to do this as he had revelation. Flores said that Wednesday’s date 9-9-09 is the satanic number turned upside down. What was his plan? When the plane was landing he stood up and showed a can and said that it is a bomb. Then he said he and three others hijacked the plane. After that the pilot has to circle over Mexico City seven times and the man wanted to speak with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, but as Jose said l! ater he wanted to warn him before coming earthquake. Fortunately the plane was isolated at the end of a runway and the airport could remain open. This dramatic situation ended very happily, all passengers and crew were released and nobody was injured. Later the police found out that the can which should be a bomb was just juice can. And the three other persons who should cooperate with Jose Flores were the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Some official said that Jose Flores is drug dependent, has been convicted of armed robbery in Bolivia and lives in Mexico about 17 years. Anyway the American, French and Mexican passengers were scared even though nothing happened. But you never know what people can do. Travelling by a plane is quite safe but there are so many passengers and some of them can be dangerous.

Avertizari by Claudia Sonea

Felicitarile de sezon sunt transformate in avertismente de sezon. Toamna este un sezon pentru recolte, pentru a te intoarce inapoi la scoala, pentru pantaloni si bluze, pentru umbrele pentru ca va ploua cu siguranta. Cei dintre voi care locuiesc la mare aveti mare grija cu pregatirea pentru uragane. De exemplu exista uraganul Fred care s-a format in sud-vest de Insulele Capului Verde, in estul Oceanului Atlantic cu vanturi intense care sunt de asteptat sa se consolideze pana la un uragan de categoria 3 pe scala Saffir-Simpson. Cu toate acestea, Centrul National al Uraganelor a asigurat ca acesta nu reprezinta o amenintare pentru uscat si! ca pana joi ar trebui sa slabeasca. De la un val tropical din sud-sud-est-ul Capului Verde s-a format furtuna tropicala Erika pe 1 septembrie la nord-est de Insulele Leeward, dar doua zile mai tarziu, ea sa transformat intr-o depresie si apoi a disparut. Exista, de asemenea si taifunul Linda care se deplaseaza incet peste Pacific la sud de capul peninsulei Baja California a Mexicului. Pana in acest moment nu exista nici o schimbare semnificativa in forta sa, in conformitate cu buletinul oferit de NHC. De fapt, sezonul uraganelor de obicei incepe la 1 iunie si se incheie pe 30 noiembrie, dar in timpul toamnei creste pericolul deoarece uraganele vor deveni mai puternice si mai frecvente. In acest an, sezonul a inceput mai devreme, cu furtuna tropicala Unu, urmata de furtuna tropicala Ana, uraganul Claudette, Bill, taifunul Danny, apoi taifunul Erika si uraganul Fred. Din fericire, in acest an nici unul nu a lovit vreun oras de pe coasta s! i sa speram ca lucrurile vor ramane asa pana la sfarsitul sezo! nului. P entru orice eventualitate mai bine va pastrati subsolurile plin de prosoape, haine, paturi si provizii, daca se intampla sa traiti pe coasta.

Warnings by Claudia Sonea

Seasonal greetings are transformed in seasonal warnings. Fall is a season for harvest, for getting back to school, for pants and blouses, for umbrellas because it will definitely rain. Those of you who live at the seaside, you have bigger worries like preparing for hurricanes. There is Fred Hurricane that has formed in the southwest of Cape Verde islands, in the eastern Atlantic Ocean with intense winds that are expected to strengthen up to a Category 3 Hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. Yet, the National Hurricane Center assured that it doesn’t represent a threat to land and that by Thursday it should weaken. From ! a tropical wave south-southeast of Cape Verde the Tropical Storm Erika formed on September 1 in the northeast of the Leeward Islands, but two days later it turned into a depression and then vanished. There is also the Tropical Storm Linda moving slowly over the Pacific in the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula. Up to this point there is no significant change in its strength, according to the NHC Advisory. In fact the hurricane season usually starts on June 1 and it will end on November 30, but during the fall the dangers increases as the hurricanes get stronger and more frequent. This year, the season started earlier with Tropical Depression One, followed by Tropical Storm Ana, Tropical Storm Claudette, Hurricane Bill, Tropical Storm Danny, then Tropical Storm Erika and Hurricane Fred. Fortunately enough this year the land remained untouched and let’s keep our fingers crossed for things to go on like this until the end. In any case, b! etter keep your basement full of towels, clothes, blankets and! provisi ons, if you happen to live on the coast.

Qui est en effet ménacé ? by Barbora Misakova

La situation en Afghanistan n'est pas du tout rosée. Les protestations constantes, vagues inépuisables de violence, attaques de bombe sont les problèmes communs. Je me demande, ce qui est plus mauvais - vivre dans ou gouverner un tel pays ? L'attaque suicide à la bombe, qui s'est produite samedi, a tué sept personnes. Une autre attaque suicide a tué un soldat de l'OTAN (dont la nationalité est inconnue) mardi. Demain devrait être l'un des jours les plus importants dans l'histoire de l'Afghanistan. Plus de 15 millions d'Afghans ont confirmé leur assistance sur les élections, ce qui signifie que près du total de 30 millio! ns d'habitants d'Afghanistan c'est majorité absolue. Mais viendront-ils vraiment dans un tel grand nombre ? L'Afghanistan doit faire face à plus de problèmes que juste le Taliban : les divisions politiques, la tension ethnique, le chômage, la corruption. Ce n'est pas image enchantée du tout, mais quand on vraiment désire réaliser une chose, on peut changer n'importe quoi. Mais maintenant la question est, si les gens ont assez de courage. Après tout, la promesse personelle d'assister sur les élections est une chose. Sortir dans les rues, où vous risquez d'être tué « seulement » pour donner la voix à votre candidat est une autre chose, particulièrement quand vous avez une famille. Le ministère étranger a demandé des organisations de la presse d'éviter la publication des incidents de violence le jour d'élection juste pour ne pas terrifier les électeurs potentiels. Tand! is que la version anglaise de ce rapport a été prono! ncé e, la version dans la langue afghane était « toute sorte de diffusion est strictement interdite ». Quoique aucune pénalité n'ait pas été précisée, les organisations de la presse afghanes n'obéiront pas à ce rapport même s'il y en avait quelque-une, car ce serait une violation peu raisonnable de la liberté de presse. En outre, qui serait responsable de la prochaine attaque ? Serait-il le gouvernement, les journalistes ou les soldats ? Bien que l'OTAN ait promis que leurs plus de 100.000 troupes internationales protégeront les électeurs le jour d'élection, ça ne signifie pas automatiquement qu'il n'y aura pas une autre imposition de la mort.

Americké reportérky boli prepustené zo Severnej Kórei by kristina leskova

Dve americké reportérky Laura Ling a Euna Lee sa konečne dostali domov. Pricestovali spoločne s bývalým americkým prezidentom Billom Clintonom na územie Spojených štátov amerických. V Severnej Kórei boli zajaté viac ako štyri mesiace. Odcestovali do Číny, aby napísali článok o ženách zo Severnej Kórei, ktoré sú často nútené do sexuálneho obchodovania alebo dohodnutých manželstiev. Obidve reportérky nasledovali svojho sprievodcu, keď ich zrazu začal viesť cez zamrznutú rieku a onedlho sa ocitli v S! evernej Kórei. Lenže ako obe tvrdia, okamžite sa vrátili na čínsku pôdu. Lenže strážcovia na severo-kórejskej hranici ich chytili a násilne odvliekli do Severnek Kórei. Tieto dve dievčatá boli príliš slabé na to, aby s nimi bojovali. Ich sprievodca a producent Mitch Koss boli schopní utiecť. Dievčatá boli obvinené z ilegálneho vstupu do Severnej Kórei. Obe dievčatá súhlasili s tým, že vstúpili na územie Severnej Kórei, avšak neboli tam žiadne znamenia medzinárodnej hranice. Po ich zajatí boli odsúdené na dvanásť rokov nútených prác. Dve reportérky boli premiestnené do domu v Pchjongjangu a tu ich držali, až kým im nepomohol Bill Clinton. Po ich zatknutí sa rozhodli prehltnúť ich poznámky, poškodiť videok! azety a uskutočniť ďalšie kroky, ktorý! ;ch cie& #318;om bolo ochrániť identitu ich zdrojov. Ani do dnešného dňa reportérky nevedia presne určiť, či boli vtiahnuté do pasce. Ich sprievodca sa síce správal čudne, avšak bolo to ich rozhodnutie nasledovať ho. V súčasnosti sú šťastné, že im pomohol Bill Clinton. Uskutočnil niekoľko vyjednávaní so Severnou Kóreou a následne bola obom reportérkam udelená milosť. Tento krok je dobrým signálom a mohol by znamenať záujem Severnej Kórei o spoluprácu.

American reporters released from North Korea by kristina leskova

Two American reporters Laura Ling and Euna Lee are finally at home. They arrived together with former American president Bill Clinton to United States of America. They were captured in North Korea more than four months. They went to China to write an article about North Korean women who are forced into sex trade or arranged marriages. Both reporters followed their guide when he suddenly led them through a frozen river and they found in North Korea. But as they claim they immediately went back to Chinese soil. But North Korean border guards catched them and violently dragged them to North Korea. These two girls were too weak to fight against them. Their guide and producer Mi! tch Koss were able to escape. These girls were accused from illegal trespass into North Korea. Both girls agreed that they entered North Korea but there were no signs of international border. After their capture they were sentenced to twelve years of hard labour. Two reporters were moved into guesthouse in Pyongyang and held here until Bill Clinton helped them. After their arrest they swallowed their notes, damaged videotapes and made other steps to protect the identities of their sources. Until this day reporters do not know if they were lured into a trap. Their guide behaved oddly but it was their decision to follow him. Now they are happy that Bill Clinton helped them. He negotiated with North Korea and after that the two reporters were pardoned. This step is a good signal and could mean that North Korea want to collaborate.

Président chinois défis pour la stabilité dans la province de Xinjiang by Zuzana Zelenakova

Le Président chinois, Hu Jintao, a visité la province de Xinjiang pour la première fois depuis les émeutes éthniques du mois dernier. Comme il a réclamé dans son discours les facteurs principaux pour assurer l'environnement paisible dans la région étaient le développement, la réforme et surtout l'unité ethnique. Il a également exprimé la gratitude aux forces armées pour leurs efforts de réprimer les émeutes mortelles du 5 juillet qui ont eu lieu à Urumqi, le capital de la région du nord-ouest. Les émeutes étaient le résultat du rancoeur entre le peuple d'Uyghur, une! minorité principalement musulmane qui désire, aussi bien que les Tibétains, un nouvel état souverain, et les Chinois de Han qui forment la majorité en Chine. Les Uyghurs se sont plaints depuis longtemps au sujet de la discrimination du Chinois de Han. Les émeutes qui ont éclaté après que la police ait arrêté la démonstration à l'origine paisible organisée par la jeunesse d'Uyghurs, a démandé la vie de pas moins de 200 personnes. Pendant sa visite qui a duré du samedi au mardi, le président chinois a voyagé aux divers villages, fermes, usines et autres. Il a également promis aux villageois qu'à l'avenir les minorités ethniques seraient protégées par « des mesures plus efficaces. » « À l'avenir, le développement de Xinjiang sera meilleur et plus rapide, » il a dit. « L'amélioration de la vie des gens sera bien plus re! marquable ; travaillons ensemble pour créer un meilleur a! venir. & #187; Il n'a pas oublié de souligner que la crise a entièrement prouvé la stabilité et la puissance du parti communiste de la Chine et du peuple et que les séparatistes « sont condamnés à l'échec ». Selon les rapports plusieurs centaines de personnes ont été chargées d'être réliées avec les émeutes aussi bien que deux sites Web pour avoir encouragé la violence. Ilham Tohti, le fondateur de l'un des sites a été détenu et interrogé par la police secrète pendant plus d'un mois. Le malaise ethnique dans la province a commencé en juin après que les deux ouvriers uyghurs travaillant dans une usine de jouet dans la région de Guandong, ont été tués dans un combat entre les Uyghurs et Hans.

Mexiko evakuovalo kvôli hurikánu Jimena tisícky ľudí by Zuzana Zelenakova

Letoviská ležiace na južnom špici mexického štátu Baja California pred pár dňami zasiahli prudké dažde a vietor. Bol to okraj hurikánu Jimena. V tom čase bol klasifikovaný ako hurikán tretej kategórie. Našťastie, v utorok poobede hurikán Jimena zoslabol na približne 175 km/h a podľa Národného centra pre hurikány v Miami bude slabnúť i naďalej. Najväčšie letovisko na polostrove, Los Cabos, zdá sa neutrpelo žiadne vážnejšie škody. Ulice pokryté nánosmi blata a výpadky prúdu boli! najväčším problémom. Ľudia boli evakuovaní z chudobnej štvrte Los Congrejos. Ukrývali sa v tme v škole po tom, čo v dôsledku búrky vypadla elektrina. „Namiesto toho, aby nám každý rok dávali pár plátov na strechy, mali by nám poskytnúť materiál na výstavbu skutočných domov – drevo, alebo ešte lepšie tehly,“ hovorí Paulino Hernandez, nezamestnaný murár, ktorý tiež hľadal útočisko v škole. „Každý rok to isté: Dajú (úrady) nám zopár strešných plátov, ktoré na ďalší rok, keď príde hurikán musíme znova vymeniť.“ Vláda vyhlásila stav pohotovosti v oblastiach Los Cabos a hlavného mesta štátu La Paz. Väčšina obchodov, podnikov, či ! škôl bola zatvorená a Červený krí! ;ž a mexická armáda sa pripravovali na okamžitý zásah v prípade, že by hurikán naplno udrel. Zatiaľ neboli z oblasti hlásené žiadne zranenia ani vážnejšie škody. Podľa ministra vnútra Luisa Armanda Diaza by hurikán mohol byť dokonca aj prospešný a ukončiť vážne suchá v štáte. „Ak to bude takto pokračovať ďalej, a nebude to mať žiadne vážnejšie následky, tento hurikán viac pomôže než uškodí,“ povedal. Čo sa týka miestnych obyvateľov a turistov, tí sa zišli neďaleko Cabo San Lucas, aby sledovali zúriace živly. Vo všeobecnosti neboli vystrašení, skôr udivení. „Žijem tu už dlho. Na hurikány sme zvyknutí,“ hovorí jedna z miestnych obyvateľov.

Hurricane Jimena forced Mexico to evacuate thousands of people by Zuzana Zelenakova

Resort towns in Mexico located at the southern tip of Baja California were hit by driving rain and winds a few days ago. It was the hurricane Jimena passing by. At the time it was categorized as Category 3 hurricane. Fortunately, Jimena has weakened late Tuesday to circa 175 kph and according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami it is expected to weaken further. The biggest resort on the peninsula, Los Cabos, seems to have escaped the worst. Muddy roads and power outages were the main problems. However, people were evacuated from the poorest quarter of Los Congrejos. They were hiding in darkness at school after electricity went out due to the storm. "Instead of giving! out a few sheets of roofing every year, they should give us materials to build real houses — wood, or even bricks," said Paulino Hernandez, an out-of-work mason who sought haven at the school. "Every year it's the same thing: They (officials) give out a few sheets of roofing, and the next year it has to be replaced" when a hurricane comes. The government declared a state of emergency for the areas of Los Cabos and the state capital of La Paz. Most of the shops, businesses, schools were closed and the Red Cross and the Mexican military were preparing for the post-hurricane situation. So far no injuries or major damages were reported from the area. According to state Interior Secretary Luis Armando Diaz the hurricane might actually help ease the drought. "If it continues like this, and there is not a major impact, it will help more than it will hurt," he said. When it comes to the residents and tourists they gathered to watch the raging sea near Cabo San Lucas. In gene! ral, they were not scared, only amazed. "I've spent a lot of t! ime livi ng here. We are used to hurricanes," said one of local residents.
