A diver exploring the floor of the Mediterranean Sea last weekend discovered an object that allows one’s imagination to travel back to a time of knights, armor and swords. bit.ly/30WgQsP
On Saturday, Oct. 16, an ordinary dive turned extraordinary for one Israeli scuba diver when he discovered a sword that experts believe has a lifespan that spans centuries.
Diver Shlomi Katzin was exploring a portion of the Mediterranean Sea just off Israel's Carmel beach. While on this expedition, Katzin came across a treasure trove of artifacts tucked into the seabed.
Katzin discovered stone and metal anchors and unearthed pottery fragments, but potentially the most stunning among the newfound treasures was a large, sea-life-encrusted sword. bit.ly/30WgQsP
Experts with the Israel Antiquities Authority determined the weapon was about 900 years old, which would date back to the time of the Crusades. bit.ly/30WgQsP

Tetsuya ‘Ted’ Fujita was born on Oct. 23, 1920, in Kitakyushu City, Japan. Fujita became fascinated by weather at an early age and eventually moved to the United States to further his research. bit.ly/2ZdJswX
Fujita is credited with several monumental meteorological advancements while working as a researcher and professor at the University of Chicago: bit.ly/2ZdJswX
In 1971, Fujita unveiled a six-point rating system for categorizing tornado damage. This would become known as the Fujita Scale and helped him earn the nickname "Mr. Tornado." The scale would be used to analyze the historic super tornado outbreak of April 1974:

One hundred fifty years ago, on Oct. 8, 1871, a fire engulfed the small town of Peshtigo, Wisconsin, killing some 800 people in an hour. The words that begin that Biblical passage are haunting, given the fate so many met that terrible night. bit.ly/3mxQaG4
Meteorologists explain that a prolonged drought, fierce winds, and high temperatures created fuel for flames.

Strong, warm southwesterly winds of up to 50 mph fanned the fire, causing everything in its path to ignite.
In about one hour, the fire incinerated anything and everything in its track, including numerous settlements and villages, ravaging 2,400 square miles -- an area roughly the size of Delaware.
