Most Terrifying Natural Disasters In History

1)Typhoon Tip
 Pacific typhoons are generally more powerful than Atlantic hurricanes, because the former have much more water over which they can gather strength. On October 12, 1979, Tip made history with the lowest air pressure ever recorded at sea level on Earth: 870 mbars. Standard sea level air pressure is1,013.25 mbars. Hurricane Andrewonly made it to 922 mbars. Tip had one 1 minute sustained winds of 190 mph..The Lake Nyos Limnic EruptionLimnic eruptions are one of the most bizarre natural disasters known. The criteria required for one to occur make them very rare. Lake Nyos is in a very remote area of the Cameroonian jungle. It is not very large, only 1.2 miles by 0.75 miles, but it is quite deep, 682 feet. Under the bed,The 1960 Chile EarthquakeThe most powerful earthquake ever recorded struck near Valdivia, Chile on May 22, 1960, at2:11 PM local time. As many as 6,000 people were killed. Many more would have been, had it notbeen for Chile’s preparedness for earthquakes, and the remote location of the epicenter. Eyewitnesses reported that the entire world appeared as if God had seized one end of it like a rope, and slung it as hard as he could.The 2003 European Heat WaveEurope is not accustomed to hot summers. Give them a break, hot summers almost never happen there. But in 2003, they got hit with one that would make the southeastern United States, or the Australian outback sit back and marvel. This lister is from North Carolina, where hot summers are expectedand prepared for. In Europe, mostof the homes built within the last 50 years before 2003 were not equipped with air conditioners, The Storm of the CenturyFrom March 12 to 13, 1993, a cyclonic storm formed off the east coats of the United States, so vast in size that it caused a unique hodgepodge of severe weather. Rarely does a single storm systemcause blizzards from the Canada/U. S. border all the way down to Birmingham, Alabama, butthis one did, and Birmingham received 12 to 16 inches of snowfall in one day and night. Thiswas accompanied everywhere with hurricane-force wind gusts of 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The Florida panhandle received up to 4 inches,The Great Flood of 1931

The deadliest natural disaster ever recorded occurred through the winter, spring, and summer of1931 in central China. There are three major rivers draining this area, the Yangtze, the Yellow, and the Huai. All three flooded catastrophically, because the winter snowstorms were particularly heavy in the mountains around the river basins, and when spring began, allthis snow melted and flowed into the rivers.
The Tunguska Explosion

On June 30, 1908, at about 7:14 AM local time, an asteroid or comet plummeted over the lower Tunguska River, in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, a remote area of Siberia, and detonated at an altitude of 3to 6 miles.
The 1999 Bridge Creek F5 Tornado

On May 3, 1999, a tornado outbreak lasting for 3 days, began with a bang, when an F5 formed at about 7:12 PM local time. This tornado was the most powerful windstorm ever recorded on Earth, at 318 mph. Itkilled 36 people
The 1815 Tambora Eruption

Mt. Tambora is on Sumbawa Island, in south Indonesia. It erupted from April 6 to 11, 1815, but the worst of this was at the end, from 10 to 11 April. The power is rated as 7 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, making this eruption the most powerful inrecorded history, four times morepowerful than the 1883 Krakatoaeruption.
The 1958 Lituya Bay Megatsunami

Megatsunamis were only theorized until July 9, 1958, when,in Lituya Bay, a very narrow fjordof the Alaskan panhandle, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake shook 90 million tons of rock and glacial ice off the mountainside at the head of the bay. It dropped off all at once, almost vertically, and landedas a monolith into the bay’s deep headwaters.
