It's human nature to try and impose some sort of logical explanation on inexplicable, random acts of nature. If you're superstitious you could say Nostradamus was right, or that the Book of Revelations predicted the end of days.

Not being superstitous myself and having lived through many an end of the world scenario I'm pretty blase about it, since there's absolutely nothing at all any of us can do to change what will be.
