This is a force that man cannot prevent but have learn to live with it and take the necessary precautionary measures to safe guard his life until it is over. Some of these we are able to predict and through the medium of the media, advice the population of what measures are necessary. On the other hand some of them are not predictable and can cause great harm to infrastructure and human life. One of these would be earth quakes, unpredictable, and always leaves a very destructive path. I believe the most common one would be hurricanes and that has its season therefore we have ample time to prepare and prevent catastrophe unless people don’t heed the warning and try to brave the conditions; they usually lose and pay a very high price sometimes with their lives. Man cannot fight Mother Nature and if tries the battle will be lost even before it started, no matter how much technology is available as of now it is not enough. Don’t get me wrong technology does help and it has come a very long way as history will show and we are grateful for that. Hopefully in the not too far distant we would be able to come up with some magical instruments that would allow us to measure these calamities and thus create machines that present these in the future. We can at this moment work towards it and hope for the best.
