From a global point of view it's easily the Tsumani. Over 200,000 dead, people affected across the world (huge tourist destinations etc.) and incredible detrimental impacts on the region for years or even decades to come.

Hate to be picky, but that was boxing day, 2004.

Maybe the Tsunami was in 2004 - but its toll reigned into 2005!
Add Katrina/Rita + Florida being slammed...
Kashmir earthquake as well.
Then the only story of 2005 is the Unpreparedness of a Natural Disaster and the human toll accompanied with it.
The more people we have on this planet the more are going to have to be uprooted because of natural phenomena...
Lets not see a meteor landing in North America in 2006!
Cheers,
And have a Xeppi Gnu Yeah!!!!!
