By Timothy MwitiPublished 6 days ago 2 min read

so hello and welcome to another episode of top 10s I'm your host car Smallwood and today we're talking about tenant TI's nature was almost like nah to humanity and as with all of our videos here on top 10 this one is based on original article submitted To Us by a member of our handsome writing team this one being Benjamin Falbo follow them on social media if links have been provided to us otherwise just scream the name out of your window and they'll hear it maybe I don't know anyway nature is a funny thing in that it can provide for us just as easily as it can lead to our total Annihilation from Extinction events to tsunamis to volcanic eruptions Mother Nature has proven to be far deadlier than Roland Emirate could ever possibly imagine but given the rampant amounts of these events that have happened here on Earth it's honestly amazing that we're even still here today with that in mind these are 10 times that Humanity was nearly wiped out by events far beyond our own control number 10 the 1811 1812 New Madrid earthquakes when it comes to natural disaster earthquakes are definitely high ranking for the most dangerous and unpredictable you know they're under the ground they're hard to see case in point the New Madrid earthquakes that occurred in Missouri in the Years 1811 and 1812 per the United States Geological Survey there were a total of three earthquakes that devastated the region over the course of 3 months these rapid fire earthquakes rapid fire here being a relative term given that earthquakes don't normally happen three times in the space of 3 months are still regarded as some of the most significant ever recorded in North America even having a lasting effect on the area's geography as a whole when the first Quake kicked off in December 1811 the shocks only grew in magnitude with the most powerful arriving on January 23rd 1812 given the destructive power of the seismic activity it was felt from the Great Lakes to the very Gulf of Mexico causing widespread destruction not only that but they were so powerful.
