February 23, 2013 – Geological event rips road in Arizona:

A 150-foot section of U.S. 89 south of Page that buckled and sunk four feet Wednesday might have been caused by a “geologic event,” according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. The road collapsed at mile post 526 just 2.5 miles north of the intersection with U.S. 89A, about 25 miles south of page, according to an ADOT spokesman. He said the incident was not related to the weather. The road was closed in both directions and there was no estimation when the highway would reopen, said an ADOT spokesman.

The second tropical depression of the northwestern Pacific Ocean season formed on February 19, 2013 and the system is soaking the central and southern Philippines. Early on February 19, 2013, the low pressure area designated as System 98W organized into a tropical depression and was renamed “02W.” Tropical Depression 02W formed south of Mindanao, the Philippines. TD02W is referred to locally in the Philippines as “Tropical Depression Crising.” TD02W is currently experiencing moderate vertical wind shear, as high as 20 knots (23 mph/37 km/h) which is keeping the depression from getting better organized. That is expected to change, however, once TD02W moves west...
