If not typhoons, would you rather prefer an earthquakes to hit?

Hi there sabado_dc! I think I'd just prefer typhoons. Why? For the reason that, when there's a typhoon, people can still evacuate, unlike with the earthquake. Most of the time when there's a typhoon, it's announced and people can prepare, but more often when it's an earthquake, it's too late. You know, Philippines kind of lack advance technology. If many people die in a typhoon, how much more in an earthquake, wherein you get squashed by debris. An earthquake, if too strong, can collapse the land plates all over the country. And it's harder to get up from an earthquake catastrophe than the one with the typhoon. But as you said, we can no longer fight mother nature, it's already showing the consequences we have done to our earth. If there was no climate change or global warming, these typhoons won't be so strong like 20 years ago. Anyways, nice topic. Have a nice day!

I actually prefers not to have any big typhoons and earthquakes. It's okay to rain but I don't like having floods, typhoons and all sort of calamities to hit our country. 'Though we know it's gonna come whether we like it or not. I only pray that no one will die anymore because of these catastrophe.

Oh, I better not choose.. Either of the options, it would really cause damage to everyone. I'm from the Philippines also and I am really sad of what had happened in Cagayan de Oro City and Iligan City. I hope it would not happen again in any place.

If only we I can choose that we will not be able to experience these things, I would. Typhoons and earthquakes are just the same. They are still phenomena that will struck the human kind. Sad to say that we have to experience this things. We can't avoid this to happen. The only thing we can do now is to be alert and have a deep faith to God.

Sabado_dc, to tell you frankly your question is irrelevant. Man does not actually have a choice what catastrophe or calamity should hit an area, country or region/continent. We all suffer differing forms of Nature's wrath-- storms, holocaust, tsunami, earthquake and sort--a a result of mankind's greed and disregard to what God has entrusted to us. However, there is one form of catastrophe that will befall all of humanity. You may want to read Isaiah 66:16, 2 Peter 3:7,10,12, Revelations 8:7. I suggest you prepare for this one and take heed of what the Bible says.

no one can escape but God can spare. that is the only fact we have. no man can control the nature that they had been destroyed for their own interest. what we sow we reap. and that is the high standard of God. of course he cares but never tolerate.
