1. The Yellow River Flood
Back in the year 1887, the Chinese region was hit by massive floods that started in the Yellow River. Heavy rainfall caused the breaching of several dykes built by the farmers for the purpose of controlling the level of the water. The floods covered an area of more than 50,000 sq miles killing more than 2,000,000 people and leaving an equal amount of people homeless and diseased. Again this was counted as one of the worst disasters of the world.
