Natural disaster

Earthquakes, floods, storms, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, you pick.

In real life these are in no way something to be excited about, but in fiction, we may enjoy the whumpee having to deal with it all.

Even if the cause is "unnatural" (such as caused by an evil device), if the effect is the same, still counts.
