Washington; Hurricane Andrew in Florida; the floods in the American Midwest; terrible earthquakes all
over the world, huge fires and so on. But I'll never forget my first personal experience with the strangeness
of nature - "the London Killer fog" in 1952.
It began on Thursday, December 4, when a high-pressure system (warm air) covered Southern England.
With the freezing-cold air below, heavy fog formed. Pollution from factories, cars and coal stoves mixed
with the fog. The humidity was terribly high, there was no breeze at all. Traffic (cars, trains, boats) stopped.
People couldn't see, and some walked onto the railroad tracks or into the river. It was hard to breathe, and
many people got sick. Finally, on Tuesday, December 9, the wind came and the fog went away. But after
that, even more people got sick. Many of them died.
