The cyclone that struck Oman on Wednesday has killed at least 35 people, and 30 are still missing. The storm hitOman with 140 MPH winds and torrential rains.

Tropical Storm Gonu is now dissipating as itdrifts toward Iran, and is not expected to strengthen. Gonu was a rare storm for the region, and the worst storm to hit Oman in modern history.

Not everyone gets supersized on a fast food diet. Why do some people get fat while others don’t? Researchers are trying to figure out how our hormones and brains urge us to eat more than we should. It turns out that some people’s hormones may actually be signaling their brains to send messages like “Eat a lot now,” and “Go for the fat and sugar.”

The hormones leptin and insulin inhibit the development of obesity when consumption of fat and calories increases. Some people respond very well to these hormones and they don’t gain weight during bouts of overeating. But others are less responsive to leptin and insulin, which makes them more at risk to become obese.

And 300 glaciers in Antarctica have are quickly moving into the ocean. All this means higher sea levels for the rest of the world. Whitley Strieber and Art Bell will talk about this on Coast to Coast AM on Saturday, June 9, starting at 10 pm Pacific time.

In LiveScience.com, Andrea Thompson reports that daily satellite images show that “the icy mega-island of Greenland is slipping away faster than before.” She quotes researcher Marco Tedesco as saying, “The melting snow produces liquid water that will potentially influence sea levels.”
