Experts on this say that the time to start planning for the next asteroid to hit should be now. They don’t know when it will happen or even if it will, but it still remains a fact that it could happen at any time and cause a worldwide disaster.
Asteroid Impact
Experts on this say that the time to start planning for the next asteroid to hit should be now. They don't know when it will happen or even if it will, but it still remains a fact that it could happen at any time and cause a world wide disaster.
Los Angeles Tsunami
A devastating earthquake could hit off Southern California with not enough time for people to escape. Causing death and mass destruction similar to that of Hurricane Katrina at a $42 billion dollar price tag.
Heat Waves
U.S. residents die more frequently from this than any other of Mother Nature's doings. As people get older, and areas get hotter electricity systems weaken. 10,000 deaths have been blamed on such an occurrence.
Gulf Coast Tsunami
Experts are predicting up to 35 million people in the Caribbean could be involved in a tsunami in the near future, similar to ones in their past.
Pacific Northwest Megathrust Earthquakes
It is predicted that it will only take time before another 9.0 or larger earthquake hits between Canada and Northern California. This will be a disaster with the biggest problem being the tsunami it would cause from the fault line which is exactly like the one that caused the catastrophic 2004 Indonesia tsunami.
Supervolcano
Yellowstone will blow again, no one knows when, but it will, taking with it hundreds of miles of life and leaving up to three feet in ashes.
New York Hurricane
These happen so infrequently in the boroughs that people forget the danger of these direct hits and may not take evacuation seriously. This would create a greater problem as it would take 24 hours to evacuate New York City and hurricanes do not slow down for evacuations leaving little time for an evacuation.
East Coast Tsunami
Even the Eastern United States is not free of the possibility of a tsunami. Astronomers are watching an asteroid that could drop into the sea causing waves in the ocean.
Midwest Earthquake
New Madrid, Missouri in the Midwest has grown in population since the last 3 level 8 quakes hit there two decades ago in succession. It's obvious it's due for another. Even with the growth and threat of earth quakes their building coeds are not up to par. This quake will be felt all over form South Carolina to Boston, Destroying homes along the Mississippi.
Total Destruction of Earth
There is probable reason to believe that this could happen, in one form or another at any given time. We could all drown or be blown up, there is the means out there to create such a disaster. In a case such as this none of the above would matter.
