It’s been a rough month of natural disasters. Here’s a review of some of the worst

The past month has seen a number of major natural disasters occur around the globe, from earthquakes to floods, droughts and typhoons.

While the geological events would occur anyway, one problem is that the onset of the super El Nino phenomenon is setting off more risks of extreme weather worldwide.

Here are some of the biggest natural disasters of the past month:

A 7.4-magnitude earthquake, the most powerful to hit Colombia in decades, tore through the coffee-growing areas early on the morning of Aug. 10, leaving many buildings partially or fully destroyed, hundreds dead and thousands injured.

A massive glacial collapse in northern Nepal on Aug. 26 triggered a landslide of ice and rock and meltwater into the valleys below, with powerful floods sweeping away or cutting off entire communities and damaging roads, bridges and hydropower facilities.

The death toll exceeded 1,000, according to the Associated Press.

Mount Anak Krakatau started a continuous eruption on Sept. 4 that lasted about 25 hours. It wreaked havoc with flight schedules in the region, including at Southeast Asia’s second-busiest airport, in Jakarta.

Hawaii is bracing for Hurricane Lowell, with schools and government offices on the islands of Kauai and Niihau being forced to close. The hurricane is expected to bring damaging winds, possible tornadoes and even dangerous rip currents to some areas.

Wildfires have caused destruction across large swaths of the U.S. and Canada in recent months, with firefighters racing to control them in both countries. The Canadian government said that wildland fire danger is expected to be higher than normal in September across most of Canada, except in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Typhoon Saudel is hitting southeast China with days of torrential rain. Authorities estimate that nearly 600,000 people were evacuated from high-risk, flood-prone areas in Fujian, while a further 128,000 people in 53 counties were also affected across Jiangxi, Guardian reported.

The Philippines have also been battered by monsoon flooding, which is expected to persist until Thursday, according to local media reports. The 24-hour weather updates issued by the country’s civil defense also warned of possible flash floods or landslides. The monsoon, also called habagat, had a death toll of 39 as of Sept. 2, Manila Bulletin reported, citing the Office of Civil Defense.
