The March 2012 earthquake in Japan was a magnitude 9.0 - the most powerful known earthquake ever to have hit Japan. It triggered forceful tsunami waves that traveled up to 6 miles inland, and the quake and tsunami combined caused almost 16,000 deaths, 27,000 injured, and over 3,000 people believed missing. It also damaged over 1 million structures, ranging from partially damaged to completely destroyed. To date, this earthquake has become the most expensive natural disaster in world history.
In May 2008, a very large disaster hit Myanmar (aka: Burma) - the largest natural disaster to hit the country to date. Cyclone Nargis killed over 30,000 people and affected and displaced millions of people.
At the end of August 2005, the biggest natural disaster to hit the U.S. was hurricane Katrina. Over 100,000 people had to evacuate their homes and Katrina has affected so many people.
The biggest natural disaster in modern history was the Indian Ocean Tsunami that occurred December 26, 2004. The death toll estimate has topped 300,000 and has affected tens of millions of people.
