the only reason you hear so much about natural disasters today is the way the media works. today more people are watching tv and using the internet for 6-8 hours a day more then ever. thus is leading to people hearing about these horrific events more often then ever before. earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, etc... all normal its just nature. the reason you hear such phrases like "biggest hurricane in recorded history" is because recorded history is only about 50-100 years old.
but then again the mayans said we were going to die in 2012.. so if you believe it bust out the tin foil hats. personally im not worried about it.
