NATURAL DISASTER



Have you ever experienced any of the natural disasters shown in the video? How do you feel when you see these images?

To get the ball rolling, I'd say .... appalled, horrified, shocked, frightened and petrified. Now it's your turn. Think of as many words as you can.

Now, can you think of other categories?
