We are told that weather disasters are now much more common, something which is apparently confirmed by the official disaster database, EM-DAT. What the UN don’t tell you is that many disasters in the past were never officially logged.
Indeed if you look at floods in the UK, something which should be accurately recorded for a century and more, EM-DAT show that nobody died between 1952 and 1977. In contrast, 36 have died since 2007.

Now take a closer look, and see if you can find what is missing.
Yes, the North Sea floods in 1953, recognised as one of the worst natural disasters ever to hit Britain, and which left 307 dead on the east coast alone.

How on earth does a catastrophe like this get missed by EM-DAT?
