<i>[ Train derailed in Texas windstorm -(not that rare) and mammatus
clouds (quite rare) ]</i><br>
<b>04-23-2024 Trent, TX - Train Derailed in Severe Thunderstorm
Winds</b><br>
Live Storms Media<br>
Mammatus clouds form when cold, sinking air pockets push the cloud
base, causing it to bulge and create distinctive pouch-like shapes.
They often appear during or after thunderstorms, and while they look
menacing, they’re mostly harmless. Scientists still don’t fully
understand how they form, but their formation may result from the
interaction between updrafts and downdrafts within a storm.<br>

<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Just how strong must the wind blow to derail a train?<br>
<i> ChatGPT</i><br>
The wind speed required to derail a train depends on several
factors, including the train's size, weight, speed, and the
direction and consistency of the wind. Generally, strong winds
can potentially affect train operations and safety, but the
exact threshold for derailment varies depending on these
factors.<br>
<br>
In general, sustained winds of around 55-65 miles per hour
(88-105 kilometers per hour) are considered capable of causing
significant disruptions to train operations. Wind speeds in
this range can lead to problems such as blowing debris onto
tracks, causing objects to hit trains, or affecting the
stability of lightweight or empty railcars.<br>
<br>
However, for a train to be derailed solely due to wind, much
higher wind speeds are typically necessary. It's challenging
to provide a specific threshold because it depends on various
factors such as the train's profile, its load distribution,
the condition of the tracks, and the presence of any
protective barriers or windbreaks along the route.<br>
<br>
In extreme cases, such as tornadoes or severe thunderstorms
with exceptionally high winds, the risk of train derailment
due to wind increases significantly. Wind speeds exceeding 100
miles per hour (160 kilometers per hour) can pose a serious
threat to train stability and infrastructure integrity,
potentially leading to derailments, especially if combined
with other factors such as debris or structural damage.<br>

<i>[ Reuters calls Asia most vulnerable ]</i><br>
<b>Asia is most climate disaster-impacted region, UN meteorological
agency says</b><br>
By Reuters<br>
April 22, 2024<br>
GENEVA, April 23 (Reuters) - Asia was the world's most disaster-hit
region by climate related hazards last year, the World
Meteorological Organization (WMO) said, with floods and storms
causing the highest number of casualties.<br>
In a report published on Tuesday, WMO said that 79 disasters linked
to hydro-meteorological events had been reported in Asia in 2023.
More than 80% of these were related to floods and storms that caused
more than 2,000 deaths.<br>
- -<br>
Asia is warming faster than the global average, according to WMO.
Last year, high average temperatures were recorded from western
Siberia to central Asia, as well as from eastern China to Japan.<br>

A dramatic street theatre performance is happening in Bath to mark
the devastating decline of the natural world in the lead up to
Earth Day on 22 April, an annual event which engages up to a
