Can't imagine it. We are very small compared to Nature.
I made the same point today. It makes you realize how incredibly stable this planet is for an undeniably miraculous percentage of time.
Some divine being has certainly set this in motion with intelligence and purpose. It is just too amazing that this sort of thing doesn't happen every week. Just as it's a catastrophe of epic proportions, it's also a miracle of epic proportions that those hit by that water or its destructive force were able to survive.
