Lots of "natural" disasters seem to be happening to Asia and some of it's surrounding continents lately. Strange...
I don't know if this is in the right place, sorry if it isn't, I'm just trying to get more involved in the ATS community.

I wouldn`t get too worked up about a quake hitting Japan - it`s pretty much the norm here. If they stop, on the other hand...

Oh OK, I guess I should have checked the normal seismic activity over there, first then lol.

yes Japan seems to be taking alot of Mother Natures wrath recently. It always makes me think that we will get hit like when you take a table cloth and lift and shake it , the ripple affect . Waves like those of a Tsunami, but under ground.

Really?

Seems to me like things have been pretty quiet lately.

It's not that natural disasters have increased, it's that the western
media has been reporting on it more, and also bloggers report on
it more as well.

That is correct.

Maybe it's Godzilla, who knows? Or a supervolcano waking up like the Toba... which would be very bad news for the entire world.

Lol "Run! It's Godzilla!"
But seriously, it is quite strange that all these things keep happening. But personally, I think it's all just natural phenomena after reading all the reports.
