Is Mother Nature mad at us humans? Are these disasters the result of people not respecting the Earth? Check out seven of the natural events that struck our planet in 2010, and see what you think.
* January: A devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, reducing much of the country to rubble, and leaving more than 300,000 people dead. Residents of Port-au-Prince have yet to rebuild, or even clear the rubble. To add to the country's woes, a cholera epidemic has already claimed over 2,000 lives and continues on its deadly path.
* March: Iceland's Eyjafjalljokull Volcano, dormant for 200 years, erupted in March, ripping a half-mile-long fissure in a field of ice and leaving thousands of passengers stranded in northern Europe, unable to fly due to the volcanic ash. The eruption was about 75 miles east of the capital, Reykjavik. In April, there was another eruption under the ice cap, 10 to 20 times more powerful than the first one, and 500 peoplel were moved away from the area.
* July: Annual monsoons in July started what would become Pakistan's worst flooding in 80 years. The floods affected at least 14 million people and about one-fifth of the country, and the death toll rose to over 1,300. Mudslides and flooding submerged whole villages in the worst floods to hit the region in 80 years.
* August: Wildfires near Moscow overwhelmed Russia’s firefighting services and burned freely through large areas of the heat-seared countryside, claiming at least 52 lives and clouding Moscow in smoke. Overall, more than 800 wildfires were reported. Most were in western and central parts of the country, which experienced its worst heat wave since record-keeping began in the region more than 130 years ago.
* September: Between 10,000 and 20,000 walruses came ashore in northwest Alaska because the sea ice they usually lie on melted. The lumbering marine mammals normally spend their summers resting on the ice as it floats north, making periodic dives to the ocean floor to forage for food. But this year a lack of ice in the eastern Chukchi Sea drove thousands of walruses to congregate on land instead.
* December: Record snowfall in western Europe stranded passengers in airports for days at a time. Thousands of travellers had their Christmas plans disrupted by snowfalls across Western Europe. In the U.K., Heathrow airport closed for several days; hundreds of flights were cancelled at Paris's Charles de Gaulle airport; Brussels airport was badly hit and Belgians were warned not to drive; Germany and Italy reported hundreds of road accidents
* Late December: Australia is currently enduring floods covering an area larger than France and Germany combined. The floods have stranded 200,000 people, and on December 31, military aircraft dropped supplies to towns cut off by the inundation in northeastern Australia as the prime minister promised new assistance to all the people affected by the floods.

I should also add Yahweh's message to mankind, just so everyone who reads this thread is aware:
"There will be no peace on Earth until My Son's Kingdom. I will crush every kingdom now standing and rock the earth off its foundation. I Yahweh will destroy every enemy to My throne, and who can stop Me? Who can turn back My anger? No one." - Yahweh
Matthew 10:34 "Don't assume that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."
Exodus 15:3 "The LORD is a warrior; Yahweh is His name."
Yahweh, our God and Creator pours out His wrath upon mankind leading up to Armageddon. It is His will that you all know exactly where it is coming from.

It's not "Mother Nature's Power" that we should be reminded of, but the One who created nature and is nature itself.
it ain't Mother Nature that's mad... it's God.
The title of this article caught my attention, because it's very close to the message I've been asked to deliver ...
