Of these words ,
calamity is the strongest .
It supposes a somewhat continuous state ,
produced not usually by the direct agency of man ,
but by natural causes ,
such as fire ,
flood ,
tempest ,
disease ,
etc ,
Disaster denotes literally ill -
starred ,
and is some unforeseen and distressing event which comes suddenly upon us ,
as if from hostile planet .
Misfortune is often due to no specific cause ;
it is simply the bad fortune of an individual ;
a link in the chain of events ;
an evil independent of his own conduct ,
and not to be charged as a fault .
Mischance and mishap are misfortunes of a trivial nature ,
occurring usually to individuals . "
A calamity is either public or private ,
but more frequently the former ;
a disaster is rather particular than private ;
it affects things rather than persons ;
journey ,
expedition ,
and military movements are often attended with disasters ;
misfortunes are usually personal ;
they immediately affect the interests of the individual ."
