Why so much natural disasters lately? Is somebody telling something?

Nothing new, rains, floods, earth tremors, landslides, draughts, famines...all these things have continually happened throughout history. The only difference is that their effects have been more disasterous to us since we have encroached vulnerable areas.

God save these innocent helpless people. The politicians will be there only to grab their votes. These people will remain destitute for ever.
