To be the worst disaster in Chinese history something would have to be really big and compared to a large number of events, many almost forgotten or poorly recorded. Unlike the constant worst disasters in US history, which happen every few months.
An interesting bit of history to put modern floods in perspective. History also records many devastating floods on the Hwang Ho (Yellow River) as well. There was a flood in the 1880s that killed millions and several other severe floods in the 19th Century. Back in medieval times the whole course of the river shifted significantly a number of times. We truly haven’t seen anything like these floods in more modern times – despite the alleged global warming.
