Did you know that more than 80 percent of the Earth’s surface has come from volcanoes? And that the sea floor and mountains were formed by countless volcanic eruptions, while the gases released from volcanoes formed the earth’s atmosphere?
Of all of the nasty weather that Mother Nature throws our way like tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, windstorms and lightning, the most dangerous natural occurrence in the United States is floods.
