The Weather Report has a series of little stories and ads all around the central view of the hourly, daily, weekly, or whatever weather display. While the ads are irritating in their constant motion, the stories can be bizarre, cute or funny. Here are today's special reports:
"Watch as giant clouds 'eat' the land before your eyes on windy day". That's in Colorado.
"Family find deadly poisonous snake in their Christmas tree" - it is HERE. This happened in South Africa 2 days ago.
"Wild pigs take over neighbourhood causing damage." The wild pigs are in Texas.
This one from last week is interesting:
"Climber finds astounding $168,700 worth of jewels on mountain" A climber who found a trove of precious stones on Mont Blanc has been given half of the 150,000-euro ($168,700) haul to keep after authorities couldn't find the original owner.
The climber found the emeralds and sapphires on the mountain in France in 2013, and he has now been allowed to keep half of the stones.
Gem experts divided the haul equally between the climber and the local council, with each lot valued at 75,000 euros ($84,350), a spokesman for the council told CNN on Tuesday. The council said the precious stones were being transported on board an Air India Boeing 707, the "Kanchenjunga," which crashed on Mont Blanc in 1966.
Here's a frosty Christmas Tree from a few years ago.
