Of water!
I must admit a certain neglect for Sri Lanka over the years; the focus of the blog was originally 9/11, get the U.S. out of Iraq, and prevent a stolen election in 2006 (mixed bag). Nevertheless, this brief caught my eye (for many reasons):
"Floods kill seven, displace 88,000
COLOMBO - Floods caused by days of heavy rain killed at least seven people, left four soldiers missing, and displaced 88,000 in insurgency-ravaged northern Sri Lanka. The Disaster Management Center said yesterday that the northern Jaffna peninsula and the Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu districts were inundated and that nearly 8,000 houses have been destroyed (AP)."
