Natural disasters occur annually in various parts of the planet. We suggest recalling the earthquakes, typhoons and floods that occurred in the outgoing 2013.

In the current Top 10 collected 2013 largest natural disasters. I would like to believe that in the new year nature will be kinder to us.

10. Forest fires in Australia

Hundreds of hectares of forest and several settlements were completely destroyed by fires caused by abnormal heat. The Australian military called the current fire the largest in the last 30 years.

9. The earthquake in Iran

In April 2013, a series of tremors occurred in the Iranian city of Saravan, with a magnitude of up to 7.8 points. This earthquake has become the most powerful in Iran in 40 years. His echoes were felt in Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Syria and other countries.

8. Kamchatka earthquake

A strike of about 8 points occurred in May 2013. The epicenter of the earthquake was located in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, however, its echoes were felt even in Moscow and St. Petersburg. In the settlements in Kamchatka, furniture moved in the houses, and cars literally demolished tremors from the road.

7. Flooding in Europe

In recent years, the central part of Europe has been regularly covered by rainwater flows. This year, in early June, the cities of Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria were under water. People moved around the streets by boat, and in Prague they had to evacuate the cloisters of the famous metropolitan zoo.

6. Flooding in India

A few weeks of heavy rains led to the mudflows rushing from the mountains in northern India to the lower reaches, destroying temples, villages and even cities on their way. About 7 thousand people were declared dead as a result of the flood.

5. Tornado in Oklahoma

On May 20, a tornado hit the small American town of Moore, which surpassed the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in terms of the damage caused. The city was literally razed to the ground, only timely evacuation of residents helped to avoid large-scale victims.

4. California Forest Fire

The intense heat and wind caused extensive fires to engulf Yosemite National Park in California. Ashes got into water bodies, San Francisco began to have problems with the supply of clean drinking water. Fire fighting lasted more than 2 months.

3. Flooding in the Far East

Even the old-timers do not remember such a rise in the water level in Amur. The lowlands of the city of Khabarovsk turned out to be under water, and in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, barriers were erected from sandbags, which helped to prevent the breaking of dams. About two thousand houses in different areas cannot be restored.

2. Storm “Saint Judah”, Europe

The storm hit in October 2013 on the coast of Great Britain, and then went to "wander" throughout Europe. Despite the fact that the death toll does not exceed 15 people, hundreds of thousands of houses were left without electricity, and dozens of families lost their homes.

1. Typhoon Haiyan, Philippines

When this typhoon erupted in the Philippines in early November 2013, the wind speed reached 315 km / h. Officially, authorities confirmed the deaths of 5719 people, 1800 are reported as missing. Tropical cyclones are a common occurrence in the Philippines, but not all of them cause such significant damage as the Haiyan.
