   What does this have to do with weather or climate?

     Weird, I would have thought that the flood which triggered the landslide was due to weather.

     As NOAA says, catastrophes are the worst they have ever been in 2011.

       It was due to them building a spoil tip on top of a stream. Weather was irrelevant, the town was doomed from the moment they put it there – all the miners knew it, but the Coal Board wouldn’t listen. My mother was one of the volunteers digging the dead children out.
