A mawhphurtu turte kan zawng a, tam tak chuan tuna sawrkarna fawng vuantute kan mawhpuh a, inpuhtawnna a tam mai. A kaikuang erawh sawi fak a harsa a ni ang, thenkhatin a dang an puh ve bawk nen. Kawng chhiatna chhan chu kan sawi kan sawi a, chik taka kan ngaihtuah chuan a chiri duh khawp mai. Chuvangin kawng chhiatna bul ber hi chu khuarel chhiatna (Natural calamity)-ah i han puh dawn teh ang, a dik thei ang em?

Mihringin kan siam chawp ni lo chhiatna, vanduaina kan tih emaw te hi Khuanu (Pathian)-in a awmtir, a thlentir zawng a ni e.
Khuarel chhiatna chu eng vangin nge khawvelah hian a lo thlen thin? Khuarel chhiatna hi chi hnih (i) Lei hnuai lam atang leh (ii) Lei chung lam (atmosphere) atangin a lo thleng thin. Khawvela cheng mihringte hian kan tuar nasa hle thin. A thawi damna, a tihreh dan erawh a thil siamte hi hrilh hriat kan la ni lo tlat mai.
Khawvel chhiatna pakhatnaa ka dah mai, lei hnuai atanga lo thawk thin hi lirnghing (earthquake) kan tih mai hi a ni. A rawn intan dan, a lo awm mai dan khawvel mi thiamte hi Khuanun a la hmuh chhuahtir lo va, a lo thlen hun tur pawh hriat theih a la ni lo, mak tak chu a ni. Mizoram lirnghing nasa ber chu kum 1950 kum ami kha a ni. Kei pawh Class III ka zirlai a ni ve a, ka hre chiang ve hle tawh. Kha lirnghing khan rapa buh hakte a leih bua a, luite tui a tikang a, Assam-ah phei chuan Brahmaputra luanna te a tidanglam hial a nih kha. Kum 70 dawn a ni ta, khatiang lirnghing kha Zoramah a la thleng lo, kan vannei e.
Khuarel chhiatna dang leh chu chung lam atangin a ni. Chu chu thlipui leh ruahpui. Thlipui hi Zoramah hian kum tin hunbi neiin a tleh thin. Chhiatna rapthlak leh nasa lutuk a thleng khât. Hman kuma Cyclone (thlipui na chi)-in kan ram a nuai dawna an sawi lawk lah kha Kohhranten Pathian hnena an dilna chhangin min thlawh khum daih a nih kha, a lawmawmin a ropui e. Ruahpui erawh kan tuar nasa hle. Ruahpui sur hian kan Zoramah hian chhiatna a thlen tam hle mai. Tui a lian, tui lianin khua a chim, Aizawl bul mai Sairang khua a chîm te kha a rapthlak e. Tlawng lui, lui lian lo tak khatiang em ema a lian thei mai kha a mak, khuarel a ni si.
