18 photos that show the true force of Mother Nature
Try as we might, we can't control the forces of nature... And when Mother Nature lets off steam, the consequences can be terrifying! Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados and tsunamis are just some of the devastating natural phenomena that terrorize the Earth and all we can do is run for cover or get as far away as possible as quickly as possible.
Climatic change, whether or not our fault, has seen an increase in extreme weather conditions, but even if nothing dangerous is imminent, nature often reminds us of its superiority as it quietly takes over! The following selection of photos shows the true force of nature, with spectacular results.
