Experts say that the previous century was the most peaceful in the history of our civilization. The new century and millennium began with the monstrous tsunami of 2004, when on the islands of Indonesia, Thailand, Ceylon, people died thousands and tens of thousands. Then another one on the islands of Japan in 2011.

Earthquakes, hurricanes and droughts, successive destructive typhoons. Tornadoes appear where they have never been heard of before, floods become commonplace and happen where they have never been.

August began with a devastating earthquake in Indonesia. Powerful shocks 5, and then on August 9, destroyed a lot of buildings, the number of dead under the rubble approached 400.

Then monsoon showers, lasting 2 weeks, caused the strongest flood in the last 100 years in India. Water flooded entire cities. Rescuers were difficult to navigate on boats porridge from water and clay. The number of victims has exceeded 4 hundreds. In places of temporary accommodation, more than 800 thousand people have found shelter.

Monstrous drought hit Australia. The water level in the reservoirs decreased to 20%. Animals perish, farmers are being ruined. In Europe, from the heat in the streets of cities, people die, but this is not the Sahara.

August was not calm in Russia either. The past week began with a powerful hurricane in St. Petersburg. After the suffocating heat, it became sharply colder. The wind bent the trees to the ground, large twigs and trash flew in the air. Unexpectedly, the hurricane was not, the weather forecasters warned of the impending raging of the elements. But not everyone heeded warnings, again many cars damaged by fallen trees. It remains only to be glad that there are no victims. Hurricane tore trees with roots, felled metal fences, traffic signs, traffic lights and advertising boards, hurting transport and blocking the exits from the houses. Due to the breakage of power lines without light there were about 10 thousand people. Given the warnings of the weather forecasters, the management companies in advance shut down all the gardens, parks and squares for visitors, where windfalls were possible. Meteorologists say about the unusual weather in this region.

In the Vladimir region, the storm wind left 14 m of apartment buildings without roofs. More than 100 settlements were left without light.

In the Tomsk region, people watched for an hour and a half as during a thunderstorm a hail the size of a chicken egg ruins everything that can - cars, harvest in gardens, chopping branches of trees.

A little bit more hail went through Karelia. Gusts of wind in Petrozavodsk tore the windows in the openings, broke the trees that fell, tore communication. Without light there were inhabitants of 71 settlements.

In Tula, the wind blew the roof off the shopping center and moved to the other side of the street, to the auto show, smashing the windows and damaging all the cars parked near him.

A large hail was supplemented by a powerful shower in Chelyabinsk. And in the region it has sharply and for a long time colder. Temperatures are typical for the end of September. A strong strong wind blows everything up.

And on the Primorye and the Kuril Islands, one after the other, two typhoons "Rumbia" and "Rumbia" - rain, thunder and strong, before the hurricane wind. This means that troubles in the form of broken trees and structures will be supplemented by the rise of water in the rivers.
