<<The planet's deadliest earthquake of the century, by far, was a magnitude 8.0 that struck Tianjin , China, on July 27, 1976. The official casualty figure issued by the Chinese government was 255,000, but unofficial estimates of the death toll were as high as 655,000. and U.S. losses of life are dwarfed by flood losses in other parts of the world. China and Bangladesh have been devastated repeatedly by floods - Bangladesh lost 300,000 people in November 1970 and more than 130,000 in April 1991>> I had not idea those types of disasters happened during my life. Although....in 1970 I was riding my Big Wheel In 1976 I was riding my Purple Schwinn western flyer ?wi banana seat and sissy bar <g> In 1991 I was probably just stoned <g>
