Among Mother Gaia's most powerful tools are natural disasters, swirling storms of fury spurred on by the angry elements, shaking the very foundation on which we live. The world has been struck by hundreds of disasters over the past centuries, from hurricanes and earthquakes to forest fires and plagues, that have demolished entire civilizations, decimated cities, and homes, and left people battered, broken, and destitute.
Let's not forget one of nature's earliest temper tantrums, the meteor that wiped out the entire dinosaur population. These poignant photos capture the aftermath of many of the most recent disastrous strikes that left all of us, affected and unaffected alike, reeling in its wake and fear-invoking fierceness.
