Those who died after the worst natural disasters in 2010s, may they rest in peace.

I lived through hurricane Maria in PR and didn’t get power until 2 months later and still was in my senior year of college. It was hard but we got through it.

Never forget the Tohoku Earthquake & Tsunami back in 2011.

[TheAliAzhar]

Australian Wildfire 2019 and Japan Tsunami 2011 was a tough one.

I'm from the Philippines when Super Typhoon Haiyan ravaged our country. I was living in the Eastern part of the Philippines when Haiyan made the landfall. It was so strong so much that it blew up the roof of the garage, destroy several coconut trees around our house and lots of rain fall from the ceilings. When I look into the window, it was one of most horrified moments I've ever seen. It was covered by lots of rain & winds like a fog, a carabao was roaming not far from our house and some debris like metal roofs & woods are everywhere. My family were praying Hail Mary while I was holding a small statue of Blessed Virgin Mary.

After the storm, I go outside and saw the town, it was most devastated & most horrified experience I've ever seen. Roofs were blown, trees fallen on the roads, electric posts were scampered & I saw the church was already destroyed when the walls both inside & outside was collapsed like an earthquake. Do you know what am I doing after the storm? I was mopping all the waters around the house, collecting some wet shoes & other stuff that was affected by storm and helping other people.

8 years later, we're still living our home and the town, already rebuilt including the church which was return back to its original form & fixed due of our tenacity & helping hands both from the our government and international aid.

I will never forget that terrifying experience but I thank to our Father, His Son Jesus Christ and His Mother, Mary for giving a second chance of life that we're still alive today.

As for those people who had died & still missing during the storm, may the souls rest in Peace. ♥️🙏

From a certain Filipino man in the Philippines 🇵🇭.

Y’all could’ve put the entire 2011 tornado season in there.

I was really shocked about the Tohoku Earthquake & Tsunami.
To those who died in Japan, may they rest in peace...

[jokeable]

COVID-19, though its recent, its bad, it deserves its own video....

[TakumiTheFAUSTScientist]

Ah yes, the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami and Typhoon Haiyan

2 of the *MOST DEVASTATING NATURAL DISASTERS I'VE EVER SEEN*

[justapeacefulmanwhosbornin]

I was shocked about the 2019 wildfire in Australia.

[elbinjrose]

Hurricane sandy was crazy in nyc I went 4 months with no power or gas, but that’s something they won’t talk about.

[karengoku]

I remember the Haiti earthquake & i was in high school. May those who.lost their life rest in peace 💔🙏

[Mujikosoul]

05:35 - I still remember that terrific day when the earthquake struck. Though epicentre was in Nepal, we felt the tremors in Kolkata, India, which is not too far from Nepal. Everyone in my building came out running and we didn't go back to our house for about 2 hrs, in fear of aftershocks.

[MetxsightseerRailfan]

1 of the 2010s disasters I know is the 2011 Joplin Missouri tornado disaster.

[GreenyTheTiger]

You can make a top 10 with 2020's worst disasters even tho we haven't completed the years yet

[DadCanInJapan]

We were living in Canada at the time of the Tohoku earthquake but my wife was in Tokyo on a business trip. She was in a business meeting when it struck and she didn't know if the building was going to collapse on top of her. She was supposed to fly back to Canada the next day, but no one knew when the airport would open up again. Rather than stay in Tokyo with the developing problem at the nuclear reactor, she made her way to Osaka and took a flight from there back to Canada. We eventually moved back to Tokyo in 2013 and now live in viewing distance of Mt Fuji, which is overdue for an eruption. We are prepared, however, be it volcano, earthquake, or typhoon. And at least we are too far inland for a tsunami.

Fun fact: Puerto Rico still hasn’t fully recovered from Hurricane Maria and Urma. There are still buildings, tourists attractions, and stores that haven’t been repaired or restored.

[ithanvega]

Most of my family is still living in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 After the hurricane, I wasn’t able to contact my mom or family till a week or 2 later and it was only for a minute. The signal kept breaking up. She had to walk to a hill nearby which was the only spot some people got a little signal where they tried to contact family outside the island. My sister was in Ohio giving birth early in the morning when the hurricane got to PR and the signal went out, so my mom and family didn’t find out if my nephew’s birth went alright or not until I was able to talk to my mom for that bit those 1 or 2 weeks after the hurricane.
