The first snowfall on this part of the world has claimed one life and caused extensive damage to properties. Puntland, northeastern part of Somalia has never recorded snowfall before last night when snow storms with high winds destroyed homes in Rako town.
The storm left a blanket of snow on the ground, something residents had never seen in their lives before. Aside from this unexplained snowfall on this tropical land, Somalia has experienced very strange weather in the past few months.
Floods killed people and forced rivers to overflow banks in almost all parts of the country. Many cities from Hargeisa in the north to Baladweyn in central were affected badly by heavy rains and floods. Many people were killed and thousands of livestock washed away by this strange weather. The country is still struggling to recover from last month’s killer weather.
With no effective central government, Somalia doesn’t have weather prediction or climate monitoring systems in place. Somalis think this unusual weather and last night’s previously unheard of snowfall are part of the global warming phenomena.
Dogs sleeping with cats! Utter chaos! We're all doomed!
Nobody believed me when I first said global cooling was going to kill us off... now look at what this apathy has caused!
Geez...I was apathetic but now I really don't care....
NeverGore :^)
They should build cisterns. Of course, with no State institutions, any cisterns will be more like tall kitchen garbage bags than municipal utilities.
Counting till the zionest Jews are blamed for this.
Yep, those Somalis know what global warming is!!!

You know....... it's Bush's fault.
Gosh, now where would that absurd mindset have come from?
I'm sure that I can sleep comfortably knowing that filling minds full of mush didn't cost me a dime.
And how do Somalis know about global warming when they can't build a country worth living in!
More proof that liberalism (or Islam, or both) is/are the road to insanity.
That can't be right
Somalia is below the Tropic of Cancer and the 10 latitude runs through the middle of the country.
What isn't?
This is the only politically rhetorical statement where Bush is running 100%.
I'm well aware that I don't have the same thought processes that the "global warming" people do.
For example, if I touch the cooktop in my kitchen and it burns me, I don't think it was caused by the refrigerator.
For that reason, my brain doesn't think that my current weather conditions are caused by "global warming" when my surroundings are covered in snow for the first time ever.
I've got to enter one of those global warming brainwashing and therapy sessions so that I too, can experience freezing temperatures and blame it on the heat.
Shall we start a Somali relief fund or something? God forbid they drop some seeds on the ground and something actually GROWS!
Considering all the evil in that land, I am awaiting the locusts, frogs, and hail next.
It finally happened!
