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 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” of 1952. It began on Thursday, December 4th when
a high-pressure system (warm air) cover 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 and 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 9th, the wind came and the fog went away. But after
that, even more people got sick, many of them died.
