                               63. Winds and Tornadoes



                              Doomsday will not happen until 10
                              portents are seen. The tenth is a tor-
                            nado that will hurl people into the sea

                      Natural disasters also destroy major cities. Statistics reveal that
                 our time has seen an increase in both the number and the serious-
                 ness of natural disasters. In the last 10 years, disasters caused by cli-
                 mactic changes have become a novel phenomenon. A dangerous
                 and unwanted byproduct of the Industrial Age is global warming.
                 Industry is gradually disturbing the balance in the world's atmos-
                 phere, giving rise to climactic changes. According to the American

                 National Climatic Data Center, many disasters occurred in 1998. 46
                 For example, several observers called Hurricane Mitch one of
                 Central America’s worst natural disasters. 47  This hurricane hit
                                              th
                 Honduras and Nicaragua on 26 October 1998, and killed more than
                 10,000 people. 48
