2011 was one of the deadliest and costliest years in terms of natural disasters. Almost 1500 tornado warnings were issued only in the month of April. Thousands died in the United States alone due to tornadoes and other numerous disasters. However, the year of 2011 is barely half past and over 900 tornadoes, 50 droughts, hundreds of snowstorms, and thousands of severe thunderstorms hit the United States alone. Scientists in weather organizations all over the world, including NOAA, have all agreed on a single conclusion: The year on natural disasters will just get worse and worse as the 2011 progresses.
It is now the end of the tornado season and this single type of disaster has proved to be a devastating beyond measures. Already the United States government has spent more than $30 billion on repairing the damage the tornadoes had done. As the hurricane season is beginning, scientists fear the impact these “king of disasters” will do to various countries that lie on the coastline of continents.
