Quakes, Winds, Tsunami.

Was just glancing through the news on Yahoo to update myself about the latest happenings (Dear ST has decided to charge for their interactive services). As I read through, I can't help but feel that the amount of disasters that struck recently has seemingly increased... Maybe its psychological (their frequency, I'm keeping myself updated more frequently etc). I know about the annual typhoons that strikes Taiwan and other coastal cities in East Asia but lately the death tolls and the frequency is rather amazing. First we have the tsumami (really scary shit, for something with an epicenter near Sumatra, its waves are able to drown people in South Asia its a scary thought. If we weren't shielded, I don't think anyone would have survived here), then we have earthquakes elsewhere in the earthquake prone regions around the Belt of Fire, followed by a series of tornadoes/typhoons/cyclones (depends on what you call it, hopefully it ends there, Volcanoes please don't join the action). World starting to go crazy? Hmm.. maybe not. I believe the geographers should have an answer to this, or at least at attempted answer. Haha.

Cheers.
