Niagara falls was not created by a natural disaster unless you count the last ice age as a "disaster". The Wisconsin glaciation caused the Great Lakes to form by sinking the land down and making the basins for the lakes and the falls themselves are a by product of there being a large cliff (the Niagara Escarpment) where the Niagara River happened to flow from Lake Ontario and Lake Erie.
