The Gods must be crazy

I've been away far too long from my blog. Apologies. Got tied up doing, like they say, a bunch of stuff!

I've been thinking about the sharp increase in the numbers and magnitudes of water related disasters (storms, floods, rain, killer waves and the like). Think about it:

Dec 2004 -> Tsunami disaster in Asia (Death toll 150,000+)

Arguably the biggest disaster known to mankind in recent times, I'm sure you've read hundreds of reports from all over the world. Here's the wiki in case you were cryogenically frozen for at least a year or so ....

Jul 2005 -> Monsoon disaster in Mumbai & Western India (Death toll 1000+)

Are the Gods trying to tell us something?
