Natural Disasters

I have been alive for almost twenty one years. Can you believe it? In the course of my many years I was thinking about what has happened in that time. Today I looked up on Wikipedia the largest natural disasters and which ones happened during my lifetime. I'm sad to say I really have only heard of maybe two or three of them. There has been 21 natural disasters in my 21 years.
