Video: Earthquakes, Flooding, Tsunamis, Hurricanes Intensify Global Problems Affecting Millions

From Denny: Natural disasters are affecting humanity everywhere on the globe. America has been dealing with raging fires out West, flooding in the South and Midwest. China is also known for heavy flooding. Indonesia faces high level earthquakes, the Philippines saw excessive flooding of over 500,000 people displaced from their homes - and with no insurance to repair them. Australia has unusual intense dust storms choking the air so thick people are in respiratory distress. Greenland's ice, as well as the Artic and Antartic's glacial ice are all melting, raising the world's oceans. Clearly, something serious is going on with this planet.

While we hear that 2012 is supposed to be a pivotal point in the Earth's history according to the Mayans and other ancient cultures, you have to wonder if there is something here. It does make you wonder that to explain all this intense weather would be because the Earth is still in the process, and maybe has been in the process for the past 20 years, of shifting its magnetic poles. Maybe the reason 2012 was cited specificially is to either warn us that is the date the Earth's weather will be its most violent or to advise us that is the date all will finally calm down and subside. OK, who's with me on voting for the second choice?

We on the American Gulf Coast in Louisiana and Mississippi have not forgotten the kindnesses from the beautiful people in Indonesia when Hurricane Katrina hit here five years ago. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you and your families and neighbors experiencing such hardship. It's time like this adversity when people need to let go of religious, racial, national and political differences and step up to help each other.



Radio show host was tsunami eye witness:



This is just horrific what is happening in the Pacific region, with an underwater earthquake clocked at 7.6 on the Richter scale. Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone in Indonesia.



The Red Cross is working feverishly trying to rescue people out of the rubble.
