Major Natural Disasters
With seven major storms, the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active in more than 150 years of record-keeping. The tsunami, the result of a 9.0 earthquake in the Indian Ocean, hit on December 26, 2004, but of course its effects have lasted throughout this year. As for the Kashmir earthquake that occurred on October 8, it measured 7.6 on the Richter scale.
