Interestingly, most authorities predicted a cold winter last year and it was Old Farmer's Almanac that was right about a mild one.

When I was in Guatemala City back in '95, a tanker truck parked on a busy metropolian street in Zone 10 was filling an underground tank up when it blew without warning. It was a street I had walked many times and it could very well have been me as one of the many pedestrians burned to death in the accident. Cause was said to be careless smoker too close to the fumes. The whole street was charred. You are right about the potential for damage and loss of life.
