Hurricanes, Typhoons, Cyclones
Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones are all the same thing with different names, but what they also have in common is their destructive power.

When water unleashes its rage upon the planet, it becomes the ultimate bringer of death; whether it's from rain washing over the ground, rivers bursting their banks, or failed efforts to stem the flow, flooding is as inevitable as it is unstoppable.
Construction Disasters
Dams control water supply and generate power, but cities can be submerged in minutes if something goes wrong; bridges and tunnels make hard-to-reach places easily accessible, but when they unexpectedly fail, the results can be disastrous.
