World Disasters

I still remember there was an "ulamat Islam" said, or rather predicted few years back that the world is gonna change in coming years because of human's behaviour towards the earth... he said to the effect that there will be more natural disasters of water, wind and fire... not only this, some other teaching also predicted the similar things also... floods did occured in some places and now the Tsunami is hitting South Asia... some say these are signals from GOD... is the world gonna end? one said it's 2016, but some other predictors said further... just hope it's not so soon... we still have a loong long way to go...

Reading bbc news from net, only i know there were so many victims and lifes been taken away in these few hundred years. Scary numbers!

NATURAL DISASTERS
2004 Asian quake disaster - toll so far exceeds 110,000
2003 earthquake in Bam, Iran - official casualty figure is 26,271
1976 Earthquake in Tangshan, China, kills 242,000
1970 Cyclone in Bangladesh kills 500,000
1923 Tokyo earthquake kills 140,000
1887 China's Yellow River breaks its banks in Huayan Kou killing 900,000
1896 Tsunami kills 27,000 in Japan
1815 Volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora on Indonesia's Sumbawa Island kills 90,000
1556 Earthquake in China's Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan provinces kills an estimated 830,000

There are at least 6,000 Europeans missing, and numbers of fishermen along coastal area in countries affected by Tsunami have yet to be discovered... the numbers is increasing per minute! All we can do is help the victims by donating and pray for them.
i sent sms to 32366 (AMP) which collected RM1 per sms for Tsunami victims, it ended at 12 mid night this morning. The figure was RM523,452 by 12:15am as announced by DJ in MY FM. Can also light a candle for them : www.kaskus.com/lightcandle; mine is at page 101, no. 10045. just keep the spirit up!

Let's Pray together~
