You'd think one sign is enough...

 

The ice moves inexorably ashore, crackling as it goes like thousands of windows breaking. In minutes, it's moved from the shoreline of a Minnesota lake to the walls of homes along the lake.

"It was just pushing and breaking and pushing and breaking," Darla Johnson, who made a video of Saturday's "ice tsunami" on Mille Lacs Lake, told CNN affiliate WCCO-TV in Minneapolis. Johnson's video had more than 275,000 views on YouTube by Monday morning.

And once you watch it, you can't stop. It's like a sci-fi movie, and there's certainly science involved.

INDIO (CNS) - Jeff Hanneman, guitarist for the popular thrash metal rock band Slayer, died today near his home in the Inland Empire, according to the band's website.

Hanneman, 49, was at a local hospital when he died of liver failure about 11 a.m, Slayer's official website stated.

The Riverside Press-Enterprise reported that Hanneman was aHemet resident.

Hanneman and band member Kerry King co-founded Slayer in 1981 in Huntington Beach, motivated by a desire to meld heavy metal and punk.

The resulting mix drew a wide and devoted fan following that spawned recording and concert success.

The popularity of Slayer's first two albums, ``Show No Mercy'' in 1983 and 1985's ``Hell Awaits'' led to seven more studio albums and two live albums, along with a pair of EPs, according to Billboard magazine.

HOLLYWOOD (CNS) - KRTH-FM (101.1) afternoon host ``Shotgun Tom'' Kelly received the 2,496th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, marking his 40th anniversary in radio.

Singer Stevie Wonder, a longtime friend, and KRTH program director Jhani Kaye joined Kelly at the 11:30 a.m. ceremony near the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea Avenue.

Kelly's star is next to the one honoring the late Real Don Steele, a previous afternoon host on KRTH.

``Just look around you,'' Kelly told the crowd. ``You've got Cary Grant. You've got Marilyn Monroe. You've got Stevie Wonder's star just down the street here. You've got Tom Jones, you've got Carlos Santana. I mean, how about K.C. and the Sunshine Band? They're even here. So it's great to be in this good company.''

When Kelly was 10 years old, his mother told him a disc jockey was broadcasting from a shopping center, interviewing people, and that he should go there and see if he would put him on the air. Kelly went and was interviewed, prompting him to build a mock radio station in his bedroom, with two record players and a microphone.

Kelly then visited radio stations to watch disc jockeys do their shows. When he was 13, Sonny Jim Price, a disc jockey and program director, called him into his office to ask his opinion of a new song he was going to add to the playlist -- ``California Dreamin''' by the Mamas and the Papas. Kelly said he liked the song, Price asked him if he would like to work at the station, an offer Kelly quickly accepted.

Kelly has been the afternoon host at KRTH since 1997 after working at a series of stations in his native San Diego and KFRC in San Francisco.
