In these cases, the mother's immune system may attack the fetus' red blood cells, causing potentially fatal anemia in the unborn baby. Now doctors report a painless way to screen for the problem. A special Doppler ultrasound placed over a mother's belly was shown to be 100% effective in detecting moderate to severe fetal anemia. That sure beats today's invasive screening procedures like cordocentesis, in which a blood sample is taken from the umbilical cord, with an attendant risk of miscarriage...

...hours, a legion of twisters--more than 40, coming so fast that the exact count is uncertain--scourged the region. One, a behemoth originating near Chickasha, may be historic. Not for the width of its funnel--although at nearly a mile across, that was extraordinary--but a mobile Doppler radar from the University of Oklahoma clocked its peak wind speed at 318 m.p.h., which would make it the strongest wind recorded on Earth...

...these high-tech times, ranchers had used cell phones to call in warnings to their families as others watched Doppler Radar reports on Austin and Waco television stations.

"I seen the tornado on TV, and I called my wife and daughters at the plant and told them to get in their cars and run," he says. And run they did. The twister was a malignantly playful one, first appearing as a single funnel, drawing back and then suddenly combining at least three...
