Friday Random Facts: Natural Disasters
Websites that list significant events in history are very popular. I subscribe to a couple of those. As an author, I never know what might strike a cord and inspire a story.
I find it’s interesting to look at what happend on “this day in history.”
It’s odd how certain events like natural disasters can happen on the same day years apart. Here are a few such events.
1. 1556: Shaanxi Earthquake, deadliest on record, in Shaanxi Province, China, killed 830,000 people.
2. 1812: A 7.8 earthquake strucck New Madrid, Missouri, and it’s still discussed today.
3. 1859: Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii begins an eruption that lasts 300 days.
4. 1973: Helgafell volcano on island of Heimaey Iceland erupts for first time in 7,000 years.
5. 1989: Hundreds feared dead after a powerful earthquake strikes the Soviet Central Asian republic of Tajikistan.
6. 2016: Category 5 blizzard dropped a record 3 feet of snow across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S., killing 55 people. The economic losses were estimated at $500 million to $3 billion.
7. 2017: Thunderstorms and tornadoes in Georgia and Mississippi killed at least 18 in the U.S.

Looking back over this post, I see that it’s a little macabre. Sorry about that. Maybe you can file this post under trivia.
