*Japan:* "Ah great. We got an infestation of ghosts, again."

[Heather_no_numbers]

I love these kinds of top tens. Do more!

This was a really interesting list up until the random paranormal turn for the number 1 spot

[Outside]

That number one spot really should have been something else, the rest of the list is sensible... but then you end it with ghost stories...

The thing about the Carrington Event was that scientists knew enough in 1859 to figure out what happened and that there were electrical lines around to demonstrate something happened. The question is: has this happened before in history when there was no technology to detect it? If so, is this a regular type of phenomenon that happens every century or every few centuries or every few millenia?

Number 1 is like a plot twist that didn't work. Sure the Earthquake is a tragedy, but I think ghost can't be categorized as such

The interesting thing about Venus is that it is the second planet from the sun, but is also the hottest planet. Mercury, which is significantly closer to the sun, is cooler on the surface.
All that high pressure CO2 the video mentioned absorbs and holds onto heat. So it actually slowly continues getting hotter until the day it becomes so hot that it just breaks apart and becomes a small asteroid field, slowly making an ascending orbit away from the sun, and possibly even colliding with the Earth in the process.

Good job on being one incredible announcer, Peter! Keep up the great work!

For the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, NUKES Top 5 had a video of a taxi driver with a dash cam that showed the driver driving off from the curb, and half a minute later you see a girl half visible in the back seat magically appear out of nowhere, then disappear into thin air.... That stuff over there is crazy! And in my mind, very real.

Rest In Peace to those that passed away.

Ghosts as #1 mysterious natural disaster? Cmon. 🤦‍♂️

One interesting aspect of the Tunguska Event is that it took several decades before there was a serious scientific expedition to the region to conduct an investigation, mainly thanks to the various political upheavals in Russia that led to the formation of the Soviet Union. The first expedition had in its company a scientist who had recently studied another catastrophic event and its aftermath - the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He found the pattern of destruction very similar to the atomic blasts in those cities and posited a theory that it might have been the result of an alien spacecraft exploding in the atmosphere over the area.

Can you do top 10 episodes of the show the Deep?

[bryn]

Still waiting for an episode on Top 10 Barrels in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.

What would happen if these natural disaster events never happened? What do you think is the best thing to prevent them from happening?

[ARIXANDRE]

The list was keeping me interested right until # 1 dropped the ball. The Paranormal isnt a natural event.

I believe that Tsunamis are fairly well understood. However, it is a natural disaster and the damage caused by a Tsunami, perhaps can not be predicted in advance as in case of a cyclone etc. The damage caused be Tsunami depends on so many factors like its strength, structure of the coast and density of population etc, though scientists can fairly well predict its path and so on.😄😄😄

I lived on the new Madrid fault growing up. I remember them making us do drills everywhere we went in the late 80s early 90s bc they predicted a huge quake. But then they admitted they have no idea when it will really go, but everyone agrees it will be huge and devastating.
