i find this unsettling. of the top 10 natural disasters (in terms of human lives lost) presented here, zero are in the western hemisphere. FIVE are in china.
i guess it just shows how fucking crowded it is over there.
number 10: the china flood
A drought had continued in China for 2 years, until in 1931 most major rivers flooded. The waters rose so rapidly no one had much time to reach higher ground. Overall, the series of floods killed between 2 and 4 million people however, over 100 million were affected.
