Mother Nature can be even more destructive than man if she gets mad enough. The unprecedented tsunami event in the Asia-Pacific is proof of that. The death toll will come in close to 100,000 when all is said and done. This is more people dead than the dropping of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima (see reference below). An interesting point here is that reports from Sri Lanka say that other than domesticated animals, there are no animal corpses to be found; no rabbits, no elephants, no wild animals of any kind. They were able to sense the danger and GTF outta the way. Maybe we're not so smart after all, eh?
Reference - "In 1946, the Manhattan Engineer District published a study that concluded that 66,000 people were killed at Hiroshima out of a population of 255,000. Of that number, 45,000 died on the first day and 19,000 during the next four months."
