Greetings human beings. Is it just my own perception or has the world been flexin it’s muscles over the last few years more than ever?? I dunno it’s like Earth decided to step it up a notch ever since the Tsunami devastated Indonesia in 2004. More than 230,000 people were killed when an earthquake 9.3 struck in the ocean causing the tsunami. That by the way is the 3rd largest ever recorded quake. Shortly after that Hurricane Katrina decided to sink New Orleans. The hurricane was the costliest ever and the 5th deadliest in the United States. It was also the in the top 6 strongest ever. Then came a massive earthquake registered at 7.6 in Kashmir, Pakistan that took 80,000 lives. In 2008 Sichuan, China was rocked by a 8.0 magnitude quake taking 87,000 lives. It was the deadliest to hit China in 32 years, the strongest since 1950 and in the top 20 deadliest of all time. Mynamar in 2008 was the recipient of the Nargis cyclone. It is the deadliest cyclone in the North Indian Ocean Basin, as well as the second deadliest cyclone of all time. Close to 200,000 lost their lives. A little more recent is the 7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti. 3 million people were affected by the quake and estimated 230,000 haitians were lost not to mention the 1 million left homeless. This is the 6th deadliest of all time.

Now we get really really current…
The overwhelming flood in Pakistan is affecting millions of people. Millions. The death toll is at 2000+. This is significantly lower than the catastrophies above…for now. An estimated 20,000,000 people are being affected with over 8 million needing urgent life saving assistance. This is more than the combined 2004 Tsunami, the Kashmir earthquake and the Haiti earthquake COMBINED. The problem here is that there is major damage to roads, bridges, infrastructure and livelihoods so it is slowing relief efforts. The most urgent needs of the population are food, clean drinking water, emergency shelter, medical care and non-food items.
