Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when the habitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the earth began to shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire engines were prevented from going to help because many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible to use fire fighting equipment as most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of buildings.

Most of those who died were not killed in the earthquake itself but in the fires, which followed. If the earthquake had occured at night while people were sleeping, far fewer would haved died. True or false T F

But I’ll never forget my first personal experience with the strangeness of nature – “the London Killer Fog” of 1952.

People couldn’t see, and some walked onto the railroad tracks or into the river. It was hard to breathe, and many people got sick. Finally on Tuesday, December 9th, the wind came and the fog went away. But after that, even more people got sick, many of them died.1. Which natural disaster isn’t mentioned in the text?
