It was definitely the Haitian earthquake but this happened before we got our predictions in (sorry Jaimie no points for predicting something that has happened already). The second worse disaster was the Pakistani floods. No one predicted this.
Again, I will give partial to those who predicted something that happened although it wasn’t the worst.
Amanda- Earthquake beyond Hati- Chinese and Chilean earthquake. (1 point)
Bret- Volcano- Icelandic volcano- although not a big taker of lives, very big in economic disruption. (1 point)
Parker- Asian earthqueake- Again the Chinese earthquake. (1 point)
Gail- Hurricane hits the Northeast. Hurricane Earl!! Good guess, not a biggie in terms of losses though. (1 point)
Ben- Chinese drought. (1 point)
Jill- Earthquake in China (1 point)
Jeff- Florida freeze, although we don't know if this is from Global Cooling (1/2 point)
Tom and Beth- West coast flooding. Late in 2010 there was some pretty heavy flooding in California. (1 point).
What is interesting is what didn't happen: No hurricane in Florida this year, no terrible Midwest flooding and the tornado season this year was pretty normal.
