Never before has a date in history been so significant to so many cultures, so many religions, scientists, and governments. A global cataclysm brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.
June 1999, Shé D’Montford predicts the wave of disasters including September 11 2001, stock market down turns, tsunamis and earthquakes and explains how to avoid them and why they will happen. Shé says: “So many people ask me about this prediction as it was recorded and distributed 18 months before September 11 and the disasters that followed. This has become a curiosity and a reference for many. I keep getting asked ‘How did I know it was going to happen?’ Well…If you are at all sensitive, in sync with the cycles, and not swallowing the popular propaganda on the news, how could you not? Here’s how to stay clear calm and away from the trouble spots. That’s the important bit!”

We explore the awesome tsunami recorded by German colonists in New Guinea triggered by a volcanic explosion on Ritter Island in 1888. Leaping forward, we hear fr… More >>
Could a massive earthquake strike America’s heartland? If history repeats itself, the answer is yes.Pioneers of New Madrid, Missouri, were thrown from their beds in the early hours of December 16, 1811, by an estimated eight-point earthquake. Multiple shocks were experienced over the next three months, the largest of which caused the Mississippi to flow backwards. We know now that a system of
Product Description Could a killer earthquake strike America’s heartland? If history proves true, the answer is yes. The 1811-1812 New Madrid Earthquakes (centered in southeast Missouri) rank as some of North America’s most catastrophic natural disasters. Stretching more than 160 miles, a system of earthquake faults lurks beneath the Mississippi River basin, loaded and ready to erupt. And it’s happened before. Pioneer residents of New Madrid, Missouri were thrown from their beds in the… More >>
They are storms that can reach 600 miles across, dumping torrential rains and battering the landscape with winds that easily exceed 100 miles per hour. They can put islands underwater, level cities and kill thousands of people. Only one or two hurricanes hit U.S. soil each year, but when they do, the repercussions are enormous. Widespread panic and staggering loss of life and property come with

There is certainly an order in the world. The planets move around the sun in precise orbits; the earth turns on its axis accurately; the moon orbits around the earth; these are just a few ways. The list is infinite. From the vibration of atoms, to the orbiting of the planets, there is an order in the universe. How then do devastating natural disasters occur? Immediate thought about them seems to reveal that natural disasters are freaks of nature. It does not seem sensible to see weather running berserk. Rain, which has been helping nature in its cycle, suddenly sows havoc. There are floods; thousands of plants, animals and humans perish. It looks as if a usually kind and gentle person suddenly become violent and kills for sport. Natural disasters come in many shapes and dimensions. Some natural disasters are easily predicted, others occur without warning. There are of course countless studies which show how natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, droughts and typhoons occur. Scientists who spend their lifetimes studying the phenomena are able to analyse the causes. By causes all that we really know is what leads to them. We know that there is a fire below the earth, that at certain points the fire bursts forth and we have a volcanic eruption. We even know that the fire is a leftover from the fire that first begun burning when the earth was formed. With a lot more study, scientists have even been able to predict the extent of a coming volcanic eruption. There is even a way to say that an eruption is imminent. Without doubt, it is useful to know all this. In the countries where this kind of technology is available, lives can be saved through timely evacuation. What is so far not known is how the eruption can be prevented. Nature is just too powerful for any study to be possible in this area – at least so far. The same can be said for the other types of disasters including: floods, typhoons and earthquakes. Research stops short of prevention. Meanwhile the slaughter continues. All of man’s defences are too weak against nature. Perhaps it is nature’s way of telling us that we are still rather puny when compared with the vast powers of nature. It is often speculated that natural disasters are nature’s way of keeping the human population in check. Perhaps this is too much to assume, but it cannot be dismissed straightaway. Are any of these disasters caused by man? Well, we can see that man is not the cause of volcanic disasters or earthquakes, but perhaps we do in some way cause weather-related disasters such as droughts, floods and typhoons. We all know that the weather is being affected by the clearing of forests on earth. This is within our control. Hence some disasters could be controlled. All we can do is hope that a day will come when we can control all natural disasters. Till then we have to remain at the mercy of nature.
Since 1935, the National Archives has been responsible for the acquisition, preservation and public dissemination of the permanent records of the United States Government. Selected by specialists at the Archives, Natural Disasters chronicles some of the world s most devastating earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, forest fires, and volcanoes. Also recounted are the heroic efforts of relief workers to return cities to normal and the attempts of local governments to be (more…)
