I often hear or read about “natural disasters” – the eruption of Mount St. Helen, a volcano in the
state of Washington; Hurricane Andrew in Florida; the floods in the American Midwest; terrible all over
the world; huge fires; and so on and so on. But I’ll never forget my first personal experience with the
strangeness of nature – “the London Killer Fog” of 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 terrible high,
there was no breeze at all. Traffic (cars, trains, and 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.
