I like the fact that more than one volcano is called "Volcanoes"...
Probably lightening, though. It looks awesome, and is so wonderfully many colours. A summer storm with thunder and lightening is the best.
And there is so much power in it!

Tornadoes !! I like them cus they look cool xP I also love huricanes !! Last year i did a project on huricanes and i learned Tons !!

I like cookie rain. It's when giant cookies rain from the sky... but that doesn't count as a disaster you say...

well 2 years ago in when I was visiting china, a tornado hit "bakery row" basically a street lined with bake shoppes. A few miles away it started to rain Chinese bagels and steamed buns, ect. Quite the weird natural "Disaster".

For a real natural disaster, I would have to say, hurricanes. These are the true kings of natural disaster. I would have to say I was lucky enough to drive by one.
when driving up from Florida back home after spring break 30 miles to the east of us, was a raging hurricane, which we learned later was hurricane Andrew/herman what ever. But it was powerful to see the 200 MPH winds rip through the water... truly powerful.

I think I'd have to say Tsunami's because they have tthe ability to erase whole islands fom the face of the earth.

Is there an end to this poll? There should really be a due date..you might even have more voters then..

I think this is the coolest natural disaster picture I could find.

Ok perhaps not technically a disaster though if enough radiation (right?) got htrough it could be very harmful and be a disaster arora borealis

Wow that is gorgeous. Isn't that caused by radiation from the Sun reflecting off Earth?

The aurora borealis (northern lights) is when the sun gives off high-energy charged particles (also called ions) that travel out into space at speeds of 300 to 1200 kilometres per second. A cloud of such particles is called a plasma. The stream of plasma coming from the sun is known as the solar wind. As the solar wind interacts with the edge of the earth's magnetic field, some of the particles are trapped by it and they follow the lines of magnetic force down into the ionosphere, the section of the earth's atmosphere that extends from about 60 to 600 kilometres above the earth's surface. When the particles collide with the gases in the ionosphere they start to glow, producing the spectacle that we know as the auroras, northern and southern. The array of colours consists of red, green, blue and violet.
I think it looks pretty cool.


You can red more here.

One of my favorites would be a lahar (I don't no why.) Lahar is an Indonesian word for a rapidly flowing mixture of rock debris and water that originates on the slopes of a volcano. Lahars are also referred to as volcanic mudflows or debris flows. They form in a variety of ways, chiefly by the rapid melting of snow and ice by pyroclastic flows, intense rainfall on loose volcanic rock deposits, breakout of a lake dammed by volcanic deposits, and as a consequence of debris avalanches. I think it's pretty interesting, otherwise known as a landslide. Here's a picture,

Wow you know a lot about Auroras. Anyone else want to post pictures or talk about these interesting and outrageous things?

I still think a hurricane takes the cake, with so much energy produced people have begun investigating hurricanes to create some kind of generator in model of Hurricanes.

Have you ever been in a hurricane DDX? If so which one?

Being in a hurricane would be pretty outrageous. If you were in a plane even it would be awesome. But of course possibly the worst most devistating one in current history in my opinion would be Katrina. I mean the destruction it did on New Orleans is catastrophic. *moment of silence*







Now about that generator, I didn't find anything about it. If you could give a link I would love to read into it.
