Fumes

kill Pacific storm victims

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At least eight people have died from carbon monoxide poisoning on the

Pacific coast of Canada and the US, where a storm has cut power lines.

Six people in the US city of Seattle and two in Vancouver, Canada, were killed

by fumes from home, petrol-powered generators.

Dozens more have been treated for carbon monoxide poisoning.

In total, 16 people were killed and thousands remain without

power after the region's worst storm in a

decade.

Last week's storm knocked out

power to about a million homes and businesses on both sides of the border.

Utility crews have been rushing to repair the damage.

Some people have turned to petrol-powered generators for heating

during a cold snap.

Carbon monoxide is an odourless, colourless, highly toxic gas

produced by most petrol-burning engines.

" We're dealing with a

carbon monoxide epidemic in western Washington [state], " Dr

Neil Hampson of the Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle told the

Associated Press news agency.

Thursday night's

storm brought heavy rain and winds of more than 90mph (145km/h)

causing flooding and knocking down power lines.

A woman drowned in Seattle, while two people in

the state were killed in traffic accidents blamed on fallen trees.

It was the third storm to hit the region in one week.

Hello Jorge -

 

When I tried to get the US chart using the information you have below, I can only get close to your chart if I remove 1 from day light saving in Junior Jyotish. I have always use 1 for US charts in day-light saving field. Am I wrong in using '1'. Also in my (free) version of Software I can't put seconds so it is slightly different than yours for that another reason.

 

I will appreciate your response.

 

Regards,

Surya
