Answer 1

The city of Tutaham was a beautiful city before calamity struck. Situated on the extreme coast of North America, Tutaham was an important site with many cultural and religious associations for people. The people in the city led a very luxurious life and never experienced any scarcity. The city was believed to be blessed by the native god. However, the people of the city were totally immersed in enjoying the material life that they enjoyed. Even though they had all kinds of luxuries, the people in Tutaham started to fight for power. Each one wanted to have the upper hand over the other. The people in the city did not need anything, but they grew greedy and wanted to take over the belongings of others. In the quest to gain power and become richer, the people of the city started to fight and kill each other. Angered by the selfish behavior of the people, the presiding deity of the city created a hurricane that destroyed every bit of Tutaham. It spared no human or animal that came in its way. The fury of the hurricane left people devastated and it unleashed disease and death in its aftermath.

In most myths, whenever humans become selfish, and there is decline in human values and morals, some divine being introduces difficulties and problems in the lives of people to make them realize the importance of humanity. In this story, the people of the city became avaricious and selfish. With a surplus of all the riches to satisfy everyone, they still chose to squabble and fight for power. This irked their native god and he decided to teach them a harsh lesson. Repeatedly, various mythologies have driven home the lesson that as humans become headstrong and selfish, and start to meddle with each other’s lives thoughtlessly, calamity arises, usually driven by a wrathful deity who shakes people into awareness.

Answer 2

There are many ways to describe the wave of disasters—the hurricanes, wildfires, and droughts—that have swept across North America this summer.

You could call them unprecedented. After all, Irma and Harvey were the first two category four hurricanes to make landfall in the United States in the same year. You might call them harrowing, especially when you consider that more than six million acres of land—a million in Montana alone—have burned during this year's wildfire season. And no one paying attention to the aftermath of hurricanes Maria, Harvey, and Irma would hesitate to call those storms devastating. Puerto Rico's 3.4 million residents have struggled for more than a week with no electricity, and more than half of them still don't have clean water. And, for the first time in more than 300 years, no one is living on the Island of Barbuda; all 94,000 residents have left.

There are many ways to describe this summer’s calamities. But whatever you call these disasters, don't ever call them natural. There’s nothing “natural”—which is to say, nothing inevitable—about a disaster.

Most of what we call natural disasters (tornadoes, droughts, hurricanes) are indeed natural, though human contributions may increase their likelihood or intensity. But they aren't disasters—they're hazards. If a hurricane slams into land where no one lives, it isn't a disaster; it's weather. A disaster is when a natural hazard meets a human population. And often, that intersection is far from natural.
