Looks like a good time to do bottom repairs on the ships and maybe even a new paint job.

I wasn’t kidding! An hour ago here in MI we were within 4 degrees of a snowstorm...in the middle of May!

Shanghai is located where the river intersects the ocean.
Has this affected Shanghai much?

Officials at the dam said they have opened sluice gates, sending over 1,400 cubic feet of water flushing down the river to alleviate the problems...

First, that is basically NO water. Some bathtubs full. Second, it would strike me as odd that the Chinese Dam officials would be using English units (Cubic feet?)

The number keys should be removed from they keyboard of almost anyone with a journalism degree...
