	AGU: Geomagnetic Storms Can Threaten Electric Power Grid
		Other assessments placed the 1989 and 1991 geomagnetic storm effects in a category equivalent to Hurricane Hugo and the San Francisco earthquake in their relative impact on the reliability of the electric power grid.
		With the poor reliability of current geomagnetic storm forecasts, utilities must either implement response measures prior to confirming a storm or wait for local confirmation.
		GICs are produced when shocks resulting from sudden and severe magnetic storms subject portions of the Earth's surface to fluctuations in the planet's normally stable magnetic field.

	AGU: Geomagnetic Storms Can Threaten Electric Power Grid
		Other assessments placed the 1989 and 1991 geomagnetic storm effects in a category equivalent to Hurricane Hugo and the San Francisco earthquake in their relative impact on the reliability of the electric power grid.
		In contrast to today's more severe solar storm cycle, the preceding, relatively quiet 30-year period led designers of electrical systems to overlook the possible influences of GICs.
		Once the predictive models are validated and used routinely, utilities may be able to predict the potential impact of storms more accurately.

		Just as people in tornado-prone areas build houses with storm basements, people in earthquake-prone places build flexible earthquake-resistant buildings.
		Earthquakes will "feel" different depending on their cause, in terms of how the Earth's tectonic plates are moving against each other.
		Granted, the earthquakes I experienced in Alaska were small but for sheer terror a tornado beats an earthquake because of the anticipation.

	Cascadia Megathrust Earthquakes - Historic Records from Japan
		Once the possibility of a link between the great Northwest earthquake of 1700 and Japanese tsunami records was discovered, scientists set out to examine all the possible earthquake sources that might have generated the 1700 Japanese tsunami.

		A strong Kamchatka earthquake was recorded in 1737, but no Japanese tsunami record has been found.

		It is a land that, because of its climate, physical geography, vegetation and patterns of human settlement along rivers, coasts and across marginal agricultural land, is prone to a range of meteorological, geological and biological hazards, including tropical cyclone, storm surge, bushfire, flood, severe storm, earthquake and landslide.
		Since European settlement in Australia in 1788, the most deaths from a natural hazard have been as a result of several heatwaves and the most costly hazards in total estimated economic terms have been drought and flood, although the most costly events were the Newcastle earthquake in 1989 and Cyclone Tracy at Darwin in 1974.
		Australia is an island continent extending from approximately 10 degrees to 45 degrees South in latitude and is subject to harsh extremes of climate.

	1970 Bhola cyclone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Winds believed to be in excess of 120 mph (190 km/h), combined with an exceptionally high storm surge of 15 to 20 feet (5 to 6 m), drove a tidal surge into the low lying, densely populated region in the early hours of the morning.
		The poor response of the Pakistani government in the aftermath of the storm was a major contributing factor that lead to the Bangladesh Liberation War in the spring of 1971.
		It is also one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern times, being comparable to the 1976 Tangshan earthquake and the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake (due to uncertainty over death tolls, it may never be known for sure which of these natural disasters was the deadliest).
