Traffic and travel

There's nothing out of the ordinary on Tooting's roads this morning, as per the AA's traffic news. The Northern line is running a 'good service'.

Fact of the day

Many animals are able to predict earthquakes to varying levels of success. Yet, snakes are the most reliable, sensing earthquakes from as far as 75 miles away (121 km). What's more impressive is that they can sense an earthquake as many as five days before it actually occurs! When snakes sense an earthquake, they often leave their nests, even if the temperature is too cold.
