Wow, some of those events are pretty scary.

Anyway, I would add:
Cyclone Anthony, Category 2, Queensland, Australia, 22nd-30th January 2011.
Cyclone Bianca, Category 4 (severe), Western Australia, Australia, 25th-28th January 2011.
Cyclone Yasi, Category 5 (very severe), Solomon Islands and Queensland, Australia, 3rd February 2011.
Cyclone Carlos, Category 3 (moderately severe), Northern Territory and Western Australia, Australia, 14th-16th February, 2011.
Cyclone Errol, Category 2, Tiwi Islands, 15th-20th April, 2011.
3.3 magnitude earthquake, Adelaide Hills, Australia, 20th October 2011.
Cyclone Grant, Northern Territory, Australia, 25th December 2011.

There were actually 11 major cyclones during the 2010-2011 season, but I only included the ones which affected people. Apparently this is a pretty usual number for the area, but they were saying that they were worried Cyclone Yasi would be even more devastating than even Cyclone Tracy was! Luckily it didn't hit any majorly built-up areas (Tracy was in Darwin).

I would also add that there was major flooding throughout Queensland and New South Wales throughout January and February, and moderate flooding in Victoria and South Australia (along the Murray-Darling River System) in February and March.

Also, this 3.3-magnitude earthquake in Adelaide (epicentre Upper Sturt, about 3km from where I live) came less than 18 months after a 3.8-magnitude earthquake (epicentre in Mount Barker, about 20km away). These are the first earthquakes of any great magnitude since the 1950s, and them happening so close to each other is a little scary. Not to mention all the massive earthquakes around Christchurch recently. They're still having aftershocks, I believe, but my cousins there don't describe them as anything more than 'annoying' now.

I actually recorded all the natural disasters I heard about when I was in Year 7 (2008) at the prompting of my teacher, and we had a list on the wall. It grew amazingly fast. In light of all these natural disasters, not to mention the state of the world, I don't think it will be all that long until the Second Coming. Now, that is scary but also exciting. But no-one knows when it will happen, but I think it must be nearer.

There have been a lot of natural disasters and strange happenings in Australia at least over the past few years. Apart from the usual droughts, which have been getting more severe as time progresses, we've been having torrential storms and winds here for the past few years when I've never had them here in my life before then, as well as what seems more bushfires recently. You must have heard about the ones in Victoria in 2009. What wasn't reported was the major flooding in Queensland at the same time. Also, early this year there was a massive locust/grasshopper plague north of where I am, coming down towards where I am a bit, too. I mean, beyond the normal amounts of locusts and bugs they usually get. Several people at church compared it to the locust plague in Egypt during Moses' time.

Anyway, thanks for the great list. Also, check out this site www.myforecast.com/bin/earthquake.m?city=50364&metric=true, which records all earthquakes over about 2.5. It's amazing just looking at the amount which happened in the past 24 hours!
