Human beings have been struggling with nature since they walked upright until now.

The great grandfather of China even issued the famous saying "it's fun to fight with heaven".

Floods, droughts, high temperatures, cold tides, floods, mountain torrents, forest and grassland fires... These natural disasters that occur all the time may be just an instinctive response to Mother Earth's slight discomfort, but for humans, especially ancient humans, it almost means disaster.

Even in modern times, human beings are still unable to resist these natural disasters. Especially with the more and more serious human damage to the earth mother, the earth mother's temper begins to be more and more grumpy. The bigger and bigger natural disasters are punishing human beings.

Volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, earthquakes, typhoons (hurricanes) and tornadoes are divided into five extreme natural disasters that do the most harm to human beings. Among them, earthquakes are undoubtedly the most destructive, followed by tsunamis and tornadoes, while volcanic eruptions are more destructive to large gas reservoirs and have the most lasting impact on the natural environment.

Many scientists say that once the super volcano in Yellowstone Park erupts, it will destroy the earth. In fact, this statement does not mean that Yellowstone volcano eruption will directly destroy the earth. After all, no matter how big Yellowstone volcano is, it is just a drop in the ocean for the whole earth. This statement mainly refers to that once Huangshi volcano erupts, the volcanic ash emitted will cause secondary disasters similar to nuclear winter on the earth. At that time, the volcanic ash in the atmosphere will block the sunlight for several years or even decades, which will cause the extinction death of terrestrial vegetation.

Without plants to provide oxygen and food, human beings will not be able to survive.

In fact, volcanic eruptions can not directly cause much harm to humans.

Although tornadoes are very violent and destructive, the scope of tornadoes is too small, so tornadoes rank the lowest among the five natural disasters.

There is no doubt about the power of the tsunami. The casualties caused by the Indian Ocean tsunami are as high as nearly 300000, which is a very terrible figure. But similarly, this level of tsunami may not be encountered once in a few years or even decades.

As for earthquakes, high-grade earthquakes are more terrible. For example, the Tangshan earthquake and the Wenchuan earthquake have caused terrible casualties and property losses, but for the same reason, this kind of earthquake that kills tens of thousands of people at one time will happen every few years or even more.

But typhoons are different. This thing will produce dozens of typhoons every year. Whether in the Western Pacific or the western Atlantic, there will be at least 20 typhoons or hurricanes every year, and among these typhoons or hurricanes, at least three or four strong typhoons will land every year.

Once this strong typhoon lands, the losses are often calculated in the unit of "one billion dollars", and if the residents are not transferred in time, the number of deaths is also terrible.

Just like Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the damage caused by the strong wind was as high as $200 billion, resulting in the death or disappearance of nearly 2000 people.

Therefore, human beings integrate these natural disasters and finally identify them as typhoons (hurricanes) as one of the most harmful natural disasters to human beings.

The main reason is that there are too many typhoons every year. The residents on the west coast of the ocean are afflicted by typhoons (hurricanes) every year. However, with the current technology of mankind, there is no way to deal with this terrible natural disaster. If only human beings could spread powerful meteorological satellites in outer space as shown in the American blockbuster geomagnetic storm, they could easily solve this extreme natural disaster.

But that's a movie after all. Human beings can only YY in the movie now. If there is a super typhoon coming, human beings are still helpless.

This time, the Philippines did not know which God it had provoked. The undersea earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption and the subsequent super typhoon hagibi all erupted together. It is extremely rare for any of the four natural disasters to occur somewhere. It is almost unheard of for the four kinds to erupt together.

But it happened that the Philippines, an island country in the Western Pacific, caught up with such a big pot.

Therefore, the eyes of the whole world were attracted by this small island country.

However, no matter how attractive it is, the outside world can't get the specific situation of the disaster area. The ubiquitous volcanic ash refused the entry of aircraft, and the violent Hagrid directly refused all ships. Even the high-resolution spy satellites in the sky can't see the disaster area under the thick clouds and volcanic ash. People outside just based on some piecemeal information, To infer the disaster situation in the disaster area.

In fact, the situation in the disaster area is really terrible!

The first undersea earthquake almost destroyed most of the buildings in the southeast of Luzon, catandenes, Leyte, Dinagat, siagao and the eastern coastal area of Mindanao. The number of deaths in this earthquake alone is terrible.

The Philippines is no better than its neighbor in the north, Japan. In Japan, this kind of undersea earthquake, which occurred one or two hundred kilometers away from the island, can hardly cause any damage to buildings, but the Philippines can't.

After all, the Philippines is a poor country. Only a few limited cities in this country have solid buildings. The buildings in most cities are very simple and can't withstand earthquakes of this magnitude!

The ensuing huge tsunami swept the eastern coastal areas of the above-mentioned islands with a more terrible attitude, including a series of coastal cities such as liyashibi and Tacloban, which were directly destroyed by the tsunami. Several smaller islands were washed directly by the tsunami, and the cities, buildings and human beings on the island were destroyed.

Although it is impossible for the outside world to count the disaster situation in the disaster area, everyone knows that this earthquake and tsunami alone are very likely to set a new record in the number of deaths and disappearances in human history!

The most worrying thing is that the huge amount of volcanic ash produced by the eruption of Mayong volcano is the least harmful. The outside world does not know this, but Yang Jing, who is in the core area of the disaster area, knows it clearly.

It is ridiculous to say that the fundamental reason for this change is the ensuing No. 4 Super Typhoon Hagupit.

It took only four or five days for Hagrid to arrive in the Philippines. When Hagrid upgraded to a super typhoon, this guy's temper became much worse and rushed towards the Philippines with wind and rain.

Although the eruption of Mount Mayon was very violent and sent thousands of tons of volcanic ash into the sky, the small mount Mayon looked too weak in front of haigebi with a cloud system diameter of more than 1200 kilometers.

Strong winds blow a huge amount of volcanic ash so that it can not rise into the stratosphere of the atmosphere at all. Even the level 7 wind circle around the typhoon is enough to blow the volcanic ash everywhere, but no matter how it flies, as long as the volcanic ash does not fly to the stratosphere, the damage of volcanic ash to the atmosphere will be reduced to the minimum.

When the center of Hagupit was getting closer to the Philippines, the torrential rain washed the volcanic ash all over.

As we all know, volcanic ash is not soluble in water, but it can't stand the rainfall brought by hagibi. It's too large and the range is too wide. Before the volcanic ash from Mayon volcano began to rage, it was brought to the ground by rainstorm, forming black acid rain.

"Yang Jing, this kind of acid rain is really hard on me, but this is the first time I have encountered acid rain." Ge Ge and Yang Jing stood in the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa and looked at the pouring rain outside through a gap.

When the volcano erupts, it not only erupts magma and volcanic ash, but also a large amount of gas containing sulfur and chlorine. This gas will immediately turn into acid rain under the baptism of rainstorm, which will also cause great damage to the surface.

"Hehe, the typhoon came in time. Otherwise, if a large amount of volcanic ash flew into the stratosphere, the damage to the atmosphere would be almost catastrophic. Thanks to the typhoon, the disaster of volcanic eruption was minimized."

Ge Ge nodded. She recognized this statement. "But it's really hard to hold it in the house."

Because of the advent of the fourth super typhoon haigebi, a group of people have sealed all the windows of the villa with solid boards against the strong wind of nearly force 10 since yesterday evening. Yang Jing has learned from the radio that Hagupit has been upgraded to a super typhoon, and the maximum wind force may exceed force 17 when landing in the Philippines.

Under such circumstances, the main body of the villa can withstand this super typhoon, but the door and window glass must be lost, so Yang Jing ordered everyone to take action and seal all the doors and windows of the villa. The four cars outside have also been driven into the garage of the villa. Otherwise, with the strength of Hagrid, the four cars don't know where they will be scraped.

"Well, wait patiently for a day. At this time tomorrow, we can go out. Now the typhoon has come. If you go out of this room, a gust of wind can blow you away. I don't want to be a widower..."

"Fuck you, where did you curse me so much?" Ge Ge beat Yang Jing's chest a few punches, but he never mentioned it again. In this weather, going out is really the birthday Weng hanging. He's tired of living.

"After the typhoon passes through tomorrow, I'll take you out and see if you can find any other food. Looking at this situation, it's estimated that no one will come here for several days. We have to look for some extra food."
