This may seem silly, but really how stupid are natural disasters. Regular things and people on this planet do their best to lead honest lives and to just stay out of each others way, then BAM! Flash Flood, Bushfire and Hurricane! Natural Disasters are not only cruel, but due to the general way of the world for some reason they always end up affecting the same hapless people, who can't afford to rebuild. Plus they make things smell gross, and that in itself angers me.
By estimates the 2004 Sumatra earthquake cost some $14 billion
2005 Katrina cause $125billion. In terms of the cost in human lives the Laki Volcano explosion on Iceland killed only 9000 in 1783, however this represented 1/4 of the Icelandic population. Some 10,000 people per year are killed by Earthquakes.
Natural Disasters, bastards!
