Like johnny b said it as been worst.  People just did not hear about the like now.  I lived in KcMO when the whole Plaza was wipe out by a flood.  MY and his crew, every year when the GM plant flood out.  There would be cottonmouths swimming around.  They had to wear waders.  No worst just more coverage

Answer 6

If you look at history you will find that we are in an "average"period. For example, the period from 1860 to 1900 saw the eruption of Krakatoa, a result of which many thousands of people died and the earth saw 3 years of "summer without sun". Famine was everywhere and America saw the largest mass migration of people ever known due to food shortages throughout Europe and Asia. This was followed by severe climate swings and the  "dust Bowl Years"which made the great depression much worse.

Answer 7

You might not get much of a response sense they are without power or underwater....but I know from the past, your life will forever change when struck by a disaster like that.   God bless those people.

Answer 8
