Have you noticed ever since the tsunami that hit Thailand and Indonesia that there have been more and more natural disasters happening every year? Can you believe that there have been 27 storms last year and 15 of them were hurricanes? 15 and one of them was Katrina which was the most destructive of all. Then there was an earthquake in an Arab country. Then there were landslides in the Philippines and a volcanic eruption. Now there's a heat wave in California...SIGH there is just too many natural disasters going on....is it the end of the world as we know it? It looks like the earth is just slowly dying and killing hundreds along with it. Yeah, this is the by product of pollution and every other horrible thing to this earth. I just hope that we would be able to adapt to these extreme weather changes...
