Hour 1
The earthquake in Haiti; a calamity of Biblical proportions that gave an opportunity to the People of the Book to do our very best. Helping, healing, giving hope. A Light unto the Nations, indeed and in deed.

Dr. Colin Price, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences and Head of the Department of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences at Tel Aviv University is literally in his element this week as unusually severe storms rock Israel. His field of research deals with global lightning activity and their connections to the Earth's climate. Dr. Price's work is an integral part of a UN effort to find solutions to global warming, and his equipment is also tied to earthquake studies, quite relevant to current events. He's had a challenging and fascinating few days, but reveals that the strange weather may actually become the norm. http://www.tau.ac.il/~colin/
