top ten natural disaserts??

Question

what are the top ten natrual disaserts?

Answer 1

George Bush should fill #1 through 9 actually.

Your syntax comes at number 10.

Answer 2

Number 10

Typhoon
At the turn of the 20th century in 1906, Hong Kong was ravaged by a typhoon that killed 10,000 people with wind gusts of up to 100 miles per hour. More recently in 1984, typhoon Ike hit the Philippines; while "only" 1,363 people lost their lives, over 1 million people were left homeless.

Number 9

Landslide
In May of 1970, Peru succumbed to a landslide along the slopes of Mt. Huascaran that took the lives of 18,000 people. No other landslide comes close in terms of casualties. However, when it comes to material damage, California suffered over $140 million in losses in January 1969.

Number 8

Tsunami
In 1896, a tsunami, which by the way is a very large ocean wave caused by an underwater earthquake or volcanic eruption, hit Japan's West coast and killed 27,000 people.

Number 7

Volcanic Eruption
Just under 100,000 people died when the Tambora volcano erupted in Indonesia in April 1815.

Number 6

Earthquake
Back in 1556, the Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan provinces in China lost over 800,000 lives in a massive quake. In the modern times, China suffered another quake in July 1976. Curiously, the death toll was twice revised; while originally pegged at over 650,000 deaths, the number was adjusted to 750,000 and then downgraded to 240,000 victims. More recently in January 2001, India was hit with an earthquake that swallowed 100,000 lives. While these certainly took more lives, no earthquake parallels 1995's Kobe shake that cost in excess of $1 billion in damages.

Number 5

Cyclone
Roughly 400,000 people died in November 1970 when a violent cyclone ravaged through East Pakistan (current day Bangladesh). Winds hit up to 150 miles per hour, and the 50-foot tidal wave slammed the coasts and raised the water levels of the numerous surrounding rivers.

Number 4

Drought
Half a million people died of starvation in the Sub-Saharan African region of Sahel in the mid-1980s, due to the severe droughts that hit the region.

Number 3

Flood
The Yellow River (or Huang He) in China's banks burst in October 1887, and the ensuing flood took with it over 900,000 people. In 1950, about 900,000 dwellings were inundated when the Hwai and Yangtze rivers in eastern China flooded. What made matters worse was the 3.5 million acres that were destroyed for the rest of the harvest season. In 1978, a flood in India's West Bengal State left 15 million people homeless.

Number 2

Hurricane
In 1970, a hurricane ravaged the Ganges Delta Islands (Bangladesh), wiping out almost 1 million people. Back home, most people remember Hurricane Andrew that hit Homestead, Florida in August 1992, and caused over $15 billion in damages. Andrew leaves a big tab everywhere he goes.

Number 1

Famine
Over a 2-year period circa 1960, roughly 40 million Chinese perished due to starvation in Northern China.

While these certainly took more lives, no earthquake parallels 1995's Kobe shake that cost in excess of $1 billion in damages.
