The event destroyed several Roman towns and settlements in the area. Pompeii and Herculaneum, obliterated and buried underneath massive pyroclastic surges and ashfall deposits, are the most famous examples.

Typhoon Nina–Banqiao Dam Failure (1975)Typhoon Nina struck western Henan province of China in August 1975. The typhoon caused a catastrophic dam failure, and the ensuing floods caused more than 150,000 casualties. The Banqiao Dam had been built in the early 1950s in an effort to control the Huang He (Yellow River), but Typhoon Nina produced floods twice as intense as the flood levels the dam was able to withstand. According to death toll reports, at least 26,000 people died in the floods.

I don't know what's wrong with China but it has 4 cases in the top 10 worst disasters. The 1976 Tangshan earthquake is top 3. In minutes, 85 percent of the buildings in Tangshan collapsed or were rendered unusable, all services failed, and most of the highway and railway bridges collapsed or were seriously damaged. There were at least 300,000 dead people and more than 100,000 super serious injuries.

Earthquakes can range in intensity from those so weak they cannot be felt, to those violent enough to propel objects and people into the air, damage critical infrastructure, and wreak destruction across entire cities.

Earthquakes can occur naturally or be induced by human activities, such as mining, fracking, and nuclear tests.

Earthquakes are primarily caused by geological faults, but also by volcanic activity, landslides, and other seismic events. The frequency, type, and size of earthquakes in an area define its seismic activity, reflecting the average rate of seismic energy release.

Damage

Aftermath of the earthquake.

Due to low infrastructure, the damage is pretty low in urban areas.

In countryside, the earthquake destroyed farmland and killing livestock, starving people in the process.

Death count: 1,500–3,500, possibly up to 16,000

The 1931 China floods, or the 1931 Yangtze–Huai River floods, occurred from June to August 1931 in China, hitting major cities such as Wuhan, Nanjing and beyond, and eventually culminated in a dike breach along Lake Gaoyou on 25 August 1931. Fatality estimates vary widely. A field survey by the University of Nanking led by John Lossing Buck immediately after the flood found "150,000 people had drowned, and that this number represented less than a quarter of all fatalities during the first 100 days of the flood."[2] The official report found 140,000 drowned[3] and claims that "2 million people died during the flood, having drowned or died from lack of food".[4] A cholera epidemic in the subsequent year, from May 1932, was officially reported to have 31,974 deaths and 100,666 cases.[5]
