Two dead, thousands displaced in Malaysia
Two women were killed in separate incidents when their cars were swept away by floodwaters in southern Johor state yesterday, according to state news agency Bernama.
The Star newspaper said that more than 37,000 people had been evacuated to 200 relief centres in Johor. Several main roads had been cut and electricity supplies have also been hit.
Several train services were cancelled in central Malaysia, forcing travellers to switch to buses just as the country prepares for the long Lunar New Year holiday celebrated by minority ethnic Chinese.
Bernama said an additional 1921 people had been evacuated from low-lying areas in central Negeri Sembilan state.
Hmm part 1 Cloud seeding
ill let you draw your own conclusion form this article in the brisbane times January 24, 2008

A cloud-seeding trial has begun in Queensland's drought-stricken south-east following months of delays.Climate Change Minister Andrew McNamara today said two aircraft had started flying around the region, one collecting data and the other testing the technology."Successful cloud-seeding won't solve south-east Queensland's water crisis on its own, but would be part of an overall package of initiatives including recycling, more efficient water use, desalination and new storage facilities," Mr McNamara said.
The project is focusing on the Wivenhoe and Somerset dams.
Cloud-seeding is a technique that adds particles such as salt and silver iodide particles to clouds to enhance condensation and droplet and ice crystal formation.
The trial is part of the state government's $7.6 million four-year cloud-seeding research project, which is also investigating local weather systems and cloud microphysics.
Mr McNamara said even a modest increase in rainfall over catchments had the potential to assist inflows.
But he said the technique would only work with certain types of clouds and under the right conditions.
"Certainly the current La Nina (weather pattern) is likely to afford more opportunities to seed than the previous El Nino year," he said.
