Good list.
It would be a better list if you take it back through 1908.

Katrina was equivalent in destructiveness as the other hurricanes and cyclones on the list. Any guess as to why the death toll (albeit tragic) is orders of magnitudes less than the other disasters?
Hint: Western Civilization has something to do with it. Freedom has something to do with it.

Missing from the list: The Indian Ocean tsunami that killed 100,000 (?) at the end of 2006.

Wouldn’t the sum total of all those disasters just amount to a good day for Communism?

I assume the inclusion of Hurricane Katrina is pure p.c., since it’s not even in the range of the others in terms of “deadly.”

How in the world did Katrina make that list? I bet there are a lot of unlisted natural disasters in this time frame that had higher death tolls than Katrina. An average French heat wave kills more.

I knew that historically there had been a few events that were larger than any of these.
I thought the biggest was a killer quake in China in the 1600’s. Close, but not quite.
Most lethal quake of all time happened Jan 23, 1556 in Shensi, China.
More than 800,000 deaths and of course we will never know the true number.
