Side note: The largest major disaster? Could that be Mt. St. Helen, back in 1980? Or how about the earthquake in san Francisco back in 1901? Okalahoma bombing? 9/11? Earthquake in Alaska 1964? Colombine shootings in Colorado? Plenty of disasters to go around.

I'd like to add the Galveston hurricane of 1900.
High gas prices? Terrorist attacks? Please.

In normal times, we don't have Tsunamis, skyscraper collapses, and chains of hurricanes year after year.

Hate to tell you this, but those are very "normal" events. The peace and quiet we experienced for some years was the exception, not the rule.

You wait until mother earth gets seriously pissed off at us. With the dense population centers we have these days, stuff could be much, much worse.
