Myths about thunderstorms include the Greeks believing them to be battles fought by the gods and Zeus hurling lightening bolts. The Norse believed thunderstorms happened when Thor fought Jotnar and Thor's hammer made the noise.

Chaos myths There are numerous creation myths that involve chaos gods and the monsters who opposed them. The chaos myths often provided a framework to explain the creation of the world as we know it. Although we would not think of creation as a natural disaster, the great struggles that preceded creation had the potential to upset the cosmos. In Psalms, we see a fragment where God defeated the multi-headed Leviathan.


Flood myths Another natural disaster that had widespread currency in the Middle East was the Flood. This myth seems to have originated in the Sumerian culture, but has come down to us in its most complete form in the Epic of Gilgamesh and in Genesis.


In the epic of Gilgamesh, the gods had been planning to destroy the earth with a flood. One god took pity and advised Umapishtim to abandon his possessions, build a seven-tiered ship, and take with him the seed of all creatures. Umapishtim did so, and after seven days, the ark landed on a mountain and he sent forth a dove. Humanity was saved.
