LOL no

Come on Nyerpy-poo. We all know that in this context we're talking about natural hazards.  Boyah isn't a technical place.

We can be dumb if we want tooooo~~~~~~~~~~~~


nobody uses "natural disaster" and "natural hazard" separately in day-to-day speech anyway

in fact i can probably count the total times i've heard the words "natural hazard" on one hand

you usually wouldn't need to label something as a "natural hazard"; you'd probably just call it what it IS instead

it is incredibly retarded to call some small tornado that killed/injured nobody and destroyed nothing a "natural disaster"

Samus Aran

then you come up with a phrase that conveniently groups all of these things together as easily for simple day-to-day use, nyerp

come on, come up with one

i can't wait to hear it

I understand.  I found it incredibly retarded when writing the thread.  At the time, I just couldn't think of a better word to describe the whole group.

But, as we can see, natural disaster works.  bassir;

unless i'm simply drawing a blank, i really don't think there is a phrase that fits it better other than "natural hazard"

and we all know nobody uses that girl;
