Floods, Quakes in Jan, Feb, Mar 2011

3 Great Natural Disasters in 3 months
In just three months in the start of 2011, 3 incredible natural disasters happened on such as scale that the whole world is watching. Each of these three disasters are record-breaking in terms of their magnitude in the region in which they occurred. The Queensland flood was called a 1 in 100 years flood. The Christchurch earthquake destroyed a significant part of the city itself. The Japan earthquake was the most devastating since recorded history of Japanese earthquakes.

Can these events that happened in succession in the first 3 months of 2011 be a coincidence? Disasters happened anytime, but consider again the fact that each of the great disasters mentioned here are at the extreme end of the scale and they happened in monthly succession.


December 2010 - January 2011  
Queensland Floods
Queensland flood crisis reaches new heights
"Brisbane and nearby Ipswich are bracing for unprecedented flooding as the death toll from southern Queensland's flash flooding reaches 10, with 90 people still missing.
Hundreds of people were evacuated from their homes at Ipswich, west of the capital, last night, with about one-third of the city expected to go under water today as the Bremer River reaches 22 metres.
Brisbane is also bracing for major flood levels of around 4.5 metres about 2:30pm (AEST), with tomorrow's peak predicted to be above historic 1974 levels.
About 30,000 people will be affected in the capital and 9,000 homes are expected to sustain flood damage.

February 2011
Christchurch, New Zealand  Earthquake

Christchurch quake toll predicted to rise
Hundreds of Christchurch residents spent the night in the city's parks as rescuers continued to scrabble through the ruins of collapsed buildings in search of survivors from Tuesday's massive earthquake.

Prime minister John Key is warning the death toll of 65 is likely to rise after the 6.3-magnitude quake struck New Zealand's second largest city about 12:50pm local time.



March 2011 
Japan Earthquake

Powerful quake, tsunami kills hundreds in Japan
The entire Pacific had been put on alert — including coastal areas of South America, Canada and Alaska — but waves were not as bad as expected.
The magnitude-8.9 offshore quake struck at 2:46 p.m. local time and was the biggest to hit Japan since record-keeping began in the late 1800s. It ranked as the fifth-largest earthquake in the world since 1900 and was nearly 8,000 times stronger than one that devastated Christchurch, New Zealand, last month, scientists said.
The quake shook dozens of cities and villages along a 1,300-mile (2,100-kilometer) stretch of coast and tall buildings swayed in Tokyo, hundreds of miles from the epicenter. Prime Minister Naoto Kan was attending a parliamentary session at the time.
