Are the latest Natural Disasters the Birth Pains Jesus spoke of as they are increasing?

I do believe the recent disasters are the birth pains, and I do believe God is warning us. The Bible is full of accounts in the Old Testament that God always warns people before He brings judgment on a nation or nations, and I see no difference today, because He is a God who changeth not. With all the modern technology at our disposal, one would think we would be able to predict when these disasters are going to happen in order to save lives. What we are seeing today is proof that God is smarter than man, and that we cannot prevent what He has predetermined to happen. God bless!!!
