Natural disasters can be caused by troubled Rajasic-planets Mercury and Venus. Mercury is the earthy planet of all the Grahas. In this chart, Mercury is placed in Zodiacal badhak sthana, aquarius. It means, unforeseen, uncontrollable trouble to earthy element.

During earthquake the Hora lord is mercury which is 8th lord (disasters) from Lagna. The Dwitiya tithi is bhadra tithi which lords over earthy elements. Ruler of Dwitiya tithi is moon which is placed along with Mercury. Karna(Balava) the earthy component of Panchang is also ruled by Mercury. Lagna, moon, mercury (hora lord) all three are placed in aquarius (zodiac badhak sthan) and closely conjoined within 2 degrees, causing a powerful inauspicious yoga for earthquake that took so 20,000 lives.

Mercury has entered aquarius 6 days ago, you must be hearing lot of news about falling buildings, burning structures, earth quakes. However, these yogas are not as powerful as it was on 26-1-2001.
