Why are there so many tragic natural disaster happening in Asia?
2 years ago it was the Tsunami. Last December it was a cyclone in Bangladesh. And now a cyclone in Myanmar and an earthquake on China. Why on Asia all the time. We should be lucky we live in U.S that we don't have that much natural disaster.

Don't forget that Asia is the largest continent and the events you mentioned are thousands of miles apart. We had Katrina here in the US.. eventually every part of the world will have some sort of natural disaster. Because of population density though, and poor infrastructure, many more people die in these Asian disasters than in the US (though 1,100 people died in Katrina).

First of all, it's the largest continent on Earth, therefore we should expect those disasters. Second, the span of the continent, from extremely mountainous regions to tons of coastline, make it vulnerable to all forms of disasters. Thirdly, many countries there lack the engineering resources of countries like the USA, therefore the natural disasters are typically more deadly (compare the recent earthquake in China with 12k+ deaths to earthquakes in California where the death toll is in single digits), thus will be reported to a stronger degree in the media.

You know, I think natural disasters have been happening for many years - it is just that now we pay more attention because we have instant access to information, and it is in front of our faces everytime we get on the internet. However, I do believe that natural disasters are increasing in frequency and intensity as a result of climate change - in general. And, we are experiencing our own problems in the U.S. I guess you don't live in Florida where they had 4 hurricanes breeze through in one year or in New Orleans where Katrina showed her wrath. Just this past week, tornadoes ripped through the midwest and killed a dozen or so people. We have our share of problems, and it will probably get worse in years to come.

One theory can be taken into consideration...unusual planet activities is happening on the outer parts of our solar system, evidence of a large foreign body in the area, supposedly the dark star called 'nemesis' or 'Planet X', which has a very unusual and deep space orbit. As it appoaches our planet, seismic activity and gravitational abnormalities take place. Scientists have found out by looking at rock layers , that a huge change in earth composition happens like clockwork every 'x' number of years..... I'm just giving u a different answer, doesn't necessarily mean I believe it:)...just keep an open mind!

Because many asian nations worship false gods,not the True and Living God,Christ Jesus.The wickedness in those countries are very great,and you can expect america to get her fair share of Judgement as well,for her wicked ways as well.
