He is maybe trying to wash all sin away from one part of the world or he wants the people in the place where the disaster struck to start a fresh and start their lives all over again! :D
No. Natural disasters are from natural causes. Maybe we can say God allows natural disasters.
Only God knows and we aren't shure how it will
All natural disasters can be explained by the physical forces of the Earth. There is no need to invoke a "god".
The classification of natural disasters as acts of God varies depending on the context. In legal terms, acts of God are typically defined as events beyond human control, such as some natural disasters. However, from a religious or philosophical perspective, attributing natural disasters solely to God may not account for scientific explanations or human impact on the environment.
There was no Deity of Natural Disasters as such, but the Greek god of nature as a whole (including nature's wrath) was Poseidon.
To remind us that they might not be that natural as God controls all by his necessity.
Natural disasters can effect Christians' earthly possessions and loved ones but they still put their trust in God that everything will turn out fine. It is also believed by Christians that God will save the ones who need saving. And everything happens for a reason, it is all a part of God's plan.

Earthquakes and natural disasters are typically caused by tectonic movements, volcanic eruptions, or other natural processes. While some people may view them as acts of God, they are generally regarded as natural occurrences with scientific explanations.
Some examples of the permissive will of God in allowing suffering and evil to exist in the world include natural disasters, human free will to make choices that lead to harm, and the consequences of living in a fallen world due to sin.
Augustine addresses the problem of natural evil by positing that all evil is a result of the misuse of free will granted to humans by God. He argues that God created a good world, but the introduction of sin through human choices led to a distortion of that goodness, resulting in natural evils like suffering and disasters. Augustine suggests that these evils serve a greater purpose, such as fostering spiritual growth and reliance on God. Ultimately, he maintains that God's goodness and omnipotence remain intact despite the presence of natural evil in the world.
Act of God is a legal term for events outside of human control, such as sudden floods or other natural disasters, for which no one can be held responsible. Insurance companies use the term in drawing up contracts of indemnification.
