after reading and looking at the pictures of “the world’s worse natural disaster” males me a lot scared knowing that it can happen anywhere.! HERE.! or somewhere NEAR HERE.! i found it interesting that also a great amount of people,besides the ones who died, are able to survive. i also found it interesting that a drought could last for YEARS.!i thought that it could only last for a couple months.!

I lreamed that China’s biggest earthquake struck in May 12,2008. My first question: is there a maximum magnitude for an earthquake? My second questio is how does the damage from hurricanes compare to tornadoes? My third question is how dangerous are volcanoes?

My three questions about natural disasters are…
How do the meteorologist or storm chasers know how much time do people have to evacuate? How can an earthquake cause an tsunami?If you are around big buildings and an earthquake is going to happen,what do people do?

After watching the slide show.
my three question are
-I wonder how long would it take for the people to fix everything?
-why does one natural disaster take sooo many lives?
-How do people feel about everything right after a natural disaster?

After reading and scanning through the slide shows
there’s three questions I want to ask…
Is There any storm chaser in other places?
Many people die because of earth quake and volcano erupts.. i wonder if people don’t panic while the earth shakes and stay away from high skyscrapers and big homes..would they still get hurt?? One last question.. What would happen if people over at Africa have Storm chaser? would they be more prepared before they know the earthquake struck???
