EXHIBIT C: Wild Weather Heavy rains in England and Wales made last fall Britain's wettest three-month period on record. Fires due to dry conditions and record-breaking heat consumed 20% of Samos Island, Greece, last July. Floods along the Ohio River in March 1997 caused 30 deaths and at least $500 million in property damage. Hurricane Floyd brought flooding rains and 130-m.p.h. winds through the Atlantic seaboard in September 1999, killing 77 people and leaving thousands homeless.
