On the other hand....

A massive earthquake has hit the Subcontinent, and apparently the death toll from Hurricane Stan (STAN? Dear sweet God, soon they'll have to start the alphabet over again if this goes on) is near 2000 people.

Am I an ignorant American, or have there been more than the average number of natural disasters in this past year or so?

No,

the death toll from the earthquake is near 20,000 people ... the death toll from Tropical Storm Stan (as browngirl said) could rise to 2,000 though at the moment "only" 254 are confirmed dead (but they are still looking for bodies and missing people)
