AVALANCHE!!!!

Hurricanes, tornadoes, and avalanches are mother natures’ most deadly disasters. Avalanches have decrease dramatically over the years. Avalanches have contributed close to 200 deaths. Statistics show that Asia has the highest number of avalanches recorded with 109. Next in line would be the United States, with 33 avalanches ever recorded. Europe falls right under the United States with 31 avalanches that was recorded. Latin America, Australia, Russia, and the Middle East have fewer than ten avalanches that have been recorded. Most of these tragic deaths happen when victims are at home or in their village. 25 deaths have been recorded due to an avalanche while skiing. Avalanches are one of Mother Nature’s deadliest threats!
