Drought conditions in Sahel
Posted by: Tropicsweatherpr, 11:54 AM GMT en Enero 22, 2012 +3
For sure,this will affect millons of people in that part of the world with starvation,but the bigger question is if this present drought will be a factor down the road in terms of less tropical waves and a below average Cape Verde season. Time will tell about that.

Those who may want to comment about what will be going on in South Carolina as the results come out,dont hesitate to post in this blog. The weather is not the best in parts of the state and that could dwindle a bit the attendance to the voting places.Let's be respectful to different opinions that for sure will be posted here. I dont have a preferred candidate as I dont live in the U.S.

Posted by: Tropicsweatherpr, 11:57 PM GMT en Enero 03, 2012 +1
Let's post all about the MLB 2012 season here.

IMO,the lifting of Ryan Brauns 50 game suspension is not the best outcome that the sport needs.
