    Only those on record are considered, so no supervolcanoes like Yellowstone

  2. As a sheltered American, I was looking for Hurricane Andrew and the Northridge, CA earthquake. Then I looked up the damage they caused, and it pales in comparison to what the entries on this list did. It's a sobering experience that makes me VERY thankful that I live in a first-world country.

  3. I would have sworn that Hurricane Andrew would've made the list…I just moved to Miami after graduating from HS in NYC in 1991 and not even a year in, Andrew hit.

    Hey MJ, not even an honorable mention for Hurricane Andrew? One of the rare times I down-voted your videos…..

  4. Alright, Monserrat 1995-1997 deserved, IMO to be on the list for historical significance, because that (at that time) wiped out an entire island and affected several other Caribbean islands who were having to take in refugees, and led to the toppling of the Monserratian government at the time. And led to the world's only capital city with a population of 0, as well. No, it didn't kill thousands of people, but for sheer impact I feel like it should be there really.

    EDIT: Oh and Kobe clamed the world famous Barings Bank as well due to the financial impact. Short version was Nick Leeson made a bunch of ultra aggressive investments and the earthquake killed the markets and with it, Leeson's investments and the bank collapsed due to it. There's way more than that, so read up on it, it's fascinating stuff

  5. I was only 4 years old when Hurricane Mitch stroke Guatemala. I don't recall it but until this day, my parents speak of it with a lot of respect and fear for Mother Nature.
