of Nature
They have the power to shake the universe.
They helped form the earth beneath our feet. They can bring both
blessings and devastation. No human can control them. No man can
fully comprehend their awesome majesty. No year since the beginning
of time has the earth failed to witness their coming. Natural
disasters can happen at any time or place. They can bring sorrow, but
they can also teach important lessons about who we are, what is
important to us, and what joys life can hold for every human
being. This site was created by students: Emily Boyd (Australia), Helen Chen (MCHS 2000
