Hello Patricia,
Every year we have disasters. Every year, yes. And why did you put "animal deaths" in your list of disasters? It's not a disaster (not for us) and it happens every month, every year. Nothing is wrong with them, but with the media that makes this significant.
About Arizona Tragedy… I realized that you are picking isolated events and trying to find some significance. If a guy in Mongolia explodes a building in Ulan Bator, this event would be a sign of the end of the world? Things like that, unfortunately, happen every year.
The Cyclone Yasi is a subtropical cyclone, normal near Australia. Again, every year we have big disasters (naturals or not). Why those disasters would be significant now?
Cairo… alright! Caused by man like Arizona Tragedy. So, why it is significant?
I don't understand why you are worried about things that can't affect you and are not even apocalyptic. Are just bad events that happen since the Stone Age. We have disasters and there will be always disasters, because the nature won't let us without some emotion. ;-)
