If we accept the five niyaamas, as outlined in the Atthasaalinii, wouldn't it seem to be the case that natural disasters are under the jurisdiction of the utu-, rather than the kamma-niyaama?  While the utu--niyaama seems mostly responsible for seasonal changes, it is said to control the winds and rains... the main elements of hurricanes/cyclones.

Of course, I suppose it could be the case that such disasters are results of utu-niyaama, while whether one dies/is injured in such is determined by having an appropriately destructive/counteractive kamma lying in wait.
