natural disasters are good for the economy when it occours in a low profit area, the people rebuild better and more resilliant and the surviors are driven to overcome.
Why are they so many happening now, well you can blame the militry, tptb, nwo, comets, x-planets or the sun. It doesnt matter much if they are going to get worse in all honestly.
How long would it take to find out and how long after that to correct it? kinda irrellivant.

That's because there has been an unending string of US and world disasters.
See my thread: 2011 in perspective
It's not some grand conspiracy to make us spend more. These events are actually happening.
Last year, the world seemed to go wild with natural disasters in the deadliest year in a generation. But 2010 was bad globally, and the United States mostly was spared.
This year, while there have been devastating events elsewhere, such as the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Australia's flooding and a drought in Africa, it's our turn to get smacked. Repeatedly.
"I'm hoping for a break. I'm tired of working this hard. This is ridiculous," said Jeff Masters, a meteorologist who runs Weather Underground, a meteorology service that tracks strange and extreme weather. "I'm not used to seeing all these extremes all at once in one year."
The U.S. has had a record 10 weather catastrophes costing more than a billion dollars: five separate tornado outbreaks, two different major river floods in the Upper Midwest and the Mississippi River, drought in the Southwest and a blizzard that crippled the Midwest and Northeast, and Irene.

Can someone please post some evidence for this theory that disasters are increasing.
All we have here are opinions. How about some facts to back up your claims.
I have a new moniker for these people. Disastermongers

Wow, you don't even read the thread? You just automatically post in caps lock?
Maybe if other people had a year in perspective thread for previous years we could compare...
not my fault I joined last year and didn't think of it until this year.
And this year has been different, unless you can find any evidence otherwise. Because all the evidence says this year is different.
Do you realize how many records have been set this year?
These types of events do occur every year, but not like this.
You don't have any evidence, you just have an emotion filled rant.edit on 3-9-2011 by Ghost375 because: (no reason given)
