The thing about natural disasters is this. I think it is less about their frequency than the fact that there are more of us to get in the way of such things. When tornado ally was sparsely populated tornados affected just a few. Now where there were fields of wheat there are now huge tracts of homes. Homes by the way which are new but for some reason lack one basic necessity in that region. Storm cellers. WTF .  Hey lets build some houses on a flood plain and be shocked when the river spreads out and engulfs those homes. Better yet in the case of New Orleans. Lets build a city below sea level and scream at politicians for not keeping water out of the bowl. What is wrong with us that we put ourselves in harms way even though we know better and are always shocked when something bad happens?

It was all part of God's divine wisdom that some people will have shards of glass ripping through them and/or be slowly crushed under debris.
