The two scarfed reoccuring stick figures are named Karl and Henry!

[juxyper]

the scary part about this is scrolling through these and thinking that maybe volcanoes or hurricanes are the worst kinds of disaster, and you look at like "huh, heat wave? isn't that a common thing?" and then you realize it kills like tenfold the scarier disasters

[mikeykwaak]

It's easily visible how your art has improved over these months, it almost looks like animation sometimes, especially with that scene where those two people threw the snow! Love to see it, keep up the good work :))

I used to call hurricane katrina “the rainbow tornado” because of the rainbow colored meteorology chart

You forgot a natural disaster: Someone else scrolling through your camera roll.

5:50 Peru mentioned, sadly for the 1970 Yungay earthquake + avalanche :(
Some facts about it (I'm Peruvian and live near Yungay):
- The earthquake was so intense it literally made a huge chunk of the Huascarán snow mountain (highest tropical snow mountain in the world) fall off, bringing rocks, whole trees, etc, until it reached the town of Yungay and basically buried all of it.
- Nowadays, the place is called camposanto (cemetery) and it is a memorial for the victims. Some remains are the old church's walls, pieces of trains, and four palm trees from the main square. Almost everything else was completely destroyed.
- Some people survived by escalating to the old cemetery, which had a Jesus Christ statue and was at high altitude.
- Lots of children survived because they were at a circus that came that day. When the earthquake hit, the children tried to run off to the main square and look for their parents, but the circus staff kept them inside, as it was far from the avalanche spot. Most children were later adopted by foreign families.
- The earthquake happened on a Sunday afternoon, where more people were at Yungay than usual because of market trading which was common on weekends. Yungay used to be the center of commerce in the nearby cities.
- That day (May 31st) became the National Day of Solidarity and Reflection on Disaster Prevention, since lots of cities and even other countries helped the affected people.

*Love the artstyle! Very educational and fun!!!!

[EveloGrave]

Damn, that art is stylized and slick as hell. Great job.

[thatotheeagleeyed]

Your illustrations improved exponentially

[ftornado]

Can you NOT ILLUSTRATE HURRICANES LIKE THAT?! THAT'S THE REASON THEY GET CONFUSED WITH TORNADOES SO MUCH, AND THEY DONT EVEN LOOK ANYTHING ALIKE!

[geonsilberlicht]

Are you under some sort of impression that tornadoes are downdraft winds? Yes, rearflank downdrafts are a thing in tornadic storms. They may be important to tornado formation, though there are more important air currents than that one, like the streamwise vorticity current. Unlike what your sketch suggests, it has nothing to do with the funnel itself, which is a region of extremely low pressure (hence the condensation) and essentially an extremely quickly spinning updraft.

[robertgeorge]

Imagine if all these natural disasters collaborated to become the most dangerous mix possible?

[realelectrifiend]

I mean it's just different kind of tornado and wildfire but i would really like to see the fire tornado in this list

[kingunicorn]

9:56 a pyrocumulonimbus cloud can definitely put out some fire with the rain, but it can also strengthen the main fire by drawing in tons of surrounding air into the low pressure area of the updraft. There's even been genuine tornados generated by them

[lemagicconch]

Very small mistake on the tornadoes part. You are correct about some of the states being in tornado alley but you have also accidentally revealed some parts of dixie alley as well. Dixie alley is the part of the US where tornadoes are slightly less active than tornado alley but is more vulnerable to the general damage of tornadoes. I'm a huge fan of these beautiful and dangerous phenomena.

[the_spider_in_your_bed]

i have the feeling he discovered how to make sharp edges and now has fun drawing them and i love it

[rym]

The art has really improved over the course of the channel!

[pmcg]

I've been following you for a while and it's nice to see your drawing skills and editing has improved a lot. Keep it up!
