Earth is an insane brutal planet.
Its our precious beautiful home but it can turn to hell in a matter of minutes.
This is what happened during the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.
Check out this vid:

In the begging of the clip, the ground is shaking so much, people can't stand and lay down.
The earthquake was the third most powerful on record, measuring 9.3 on the Richter scale.
The rupture continued for more than 8 minutes. In Sumatra, the earth kept shaking violently for whole fucking eight or possibly nine minutes as the rupture progressed northwards the intensity of the earthquake was reduced but the tsunami it generated was the deadliest in history.
---------
There have been many disasters in the long history of the earth.
WHERE DID THE MOON COME FROM
Greatest event in all history was when the Moon collided with the earth. This was the biggest spectale in the Solar System. Both planets melted and Earth still has residual heat from that event. Some say this is why our planet is titled, earth was roatating very fast after impact, one day lasted only 6 hours!
The second largest event occured 65 million years ago during the Cretaceous period when dinosours walked the earth.
DINO EXTINCT
An asteroid more than 10 km wide struck our planet in what is now the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.
The crater is more than 180 kilometers (110 mi) in diameter, making the feature one of the largest confirmed impact structures in the world.
The area was vaporized, shockwaves flattened surrounding continents, the enormous heat set everything on fire and heated the atmosphere so much clouds evaporated.
The light from the impact would have been blinding, many times brigther than the sun.
Matter from the impactor and the earth's crust was injected back into space and debirs kept falling back onto the earth for days, wreaking even more devastation, setting whole forests ablaze.
LAKE TOBA, YELLOWSTONE AND FLOOD BASALT
The Lake Toba supervolcano event reduced the human population to merely 10,000 or less. Nothing in the area survivied.
The massive eruption drove the world's human population to the brink of extinction some 70,000–75,000 years ago.
The Toba caldera in Indonesia underwent an eruption of category 8 (or "mega-colossal") on the Volcanic Explosivity Index. This released energy equivalent to about 1 gigaton of TNT.
Same happened in Yellowstone.
On top of that a large asteriod hit the continent of North America and set it ablaze.
More recently the 1883 Krakatoa eruption was so violent, it was heard in Australia and people on Java and sumatra were deafened by what is considered the loudest sound heard from a volcano in recent memory.
More than 150,000 were killed from the earthquakes, brunt by the erruption and many were washed by the following tsunami.
Corpses were washed up on the African coast, up to an year after the event.
SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED IN SIBERIA
Flood basalt is a giant volcanic eruption that instead of forming a mountain floods a continent with hot basalt lava.
This is what happened in Siberia - the whole plateu was flooded with hot lava that kept errupting for a million years and contributed to a global climate change and extincion events.
There was a flood basalt even in the US too - most destructive type of erruption.
POSSIBLE FUTURE EVENTS
The list goes on and on and who knows what will happen in the future with our raging planet. The earth may get hit again, earthquake, tsunami and supervolcano will continue to kill.
Disasters that will certainly happen:
- Large earthquake destroyes Tokyo. 100%
- Large earthquake destroyes LA. 100%
- Tsunamis devastate the indian ocean area again, pacific and less likely the Atlanitc. 100% for another devastating indian ocean tsunami starting off Sumatra.
- Large earthquake reduces Istanbul to rubble 100%
- Large earthquakes strike Italy, Balkans, Spain as Africa pushes into Europe. (VERY LIKELY)
- Strong earthquake strikes Canada and Pacific Nothwest. (VERY LIKELY)
- Large earhquake in Peru (VERY LIKELY)
