What's Up With Mother Nature?

Is anyone else a little boggled by Mother Nature's recent mood swings?
Japan--destroyed by a massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake.
Deep South--destroyed by F4-F5 tornadoes.
Midwest--Tornadoes swept through the Midwest; Joplin destroyed by a reported F4 tornado.
An Icelandic Volcano erupted on Saturday.
Mother Nature is showing some serious attitude these days.
Events like these put things into rather harsh perspective. Everyone and everything we count on to be there day in and day out can be gone *poof* in less than a second. Life is just so delicate. 
Thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by these horrific storms.
