<p>Is it just me, or does it seem like there are more and more natural disasters every year? (earthquakes, floods, hurricanes etc…). Everyday I turn on the news and I always hear of flash floods or earthquakes or big storms I haven’t been around long enough to recall…</p>
<p>You’re probably just noticing them more - maybe because you’re paying more attention to the news than you did when you were a few years younger. We also have a number of 24 hours news stations that repeat the news endlessly, instant internet access to news that’s usually in our face (Yahoo news, Google news, Fox news, etc.). I think it’s just a question of perception.</p>
