A fireball fell from the sky and slammed into southern Peru over the weekend, creating a huge crater that emitted a sickeningly smelly gas, local authorities said. More than 600 villagers fell ill, the Peruvian radio network RPP reported Tuesday.

…gases emanating from the crater caused nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches and stomach pain - so much so that authorities were considering calling a state of emergency. The newspaper La Republica reported that seven policemen became ill and were taken to a hospital."

Now might be a good time to review your emergency plans and take inventory of your supplies.
