I don't have heard of Belgium and Poland, i guess it was most heavy in Germany and England, in Germany we have 11 dead people and England 10, as far as i know. There is much water now in the street i live and many damaged roofs around, broken trees and so on. Nature is going mad...

[meteorite-list] north Europe Hurricane emergency
Hi all, Just been weathering the storms here in the UK...luckily the Midlands seems to have escaped the worst. The West was hit bad though...think the death toll is up to 13 now. Many towns still without power. As you may have all heard, after departing the UK the storm headed into Europe and worstened again...most unusual...hope everyone out there is ok. I spent today doing a trade for three samples of rarely available meteorites. I have aquired a large slice of Wairarapa, an H6 from New Zealand (looks brecciated or shock melted to me) around 40g I think. Plus several pea sized fragments of , a well documented CV3 fall in 1908 again from New Zealand and finally a fragment (about 30g) of Alta ameem LL5, fell in 1977 , about 100 m N. of the village of Humaira, northern Iraq. I have photographed the labels and original notes from when they were aquired in the 60's and 70's to show thier provenance. I was told that they resided at Newcastle University until recently when a deparment closed and they were passed on tho the present collection. I have managed to put Wairarapa through the SEM this afternoon and am now trying to make sense of the images and data. I have no experience in doing this... If anyone out there has such experience and would like to see the data I would be glad of any pointers as to recognizing the minerals from the elements present. I will try and find a way of posting some photographs of the samples and supplying links to them if anyone is interested. Meanwhile Tucson grows ever closer...just one week before we fly. Hope to see some of you there. Graham, Nr Barwell UK __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
