It is not anything unusual. I don't even think it is any sort of coincidence. If anything - it is simply the fact that there are more 24 hour news channels now that need stuff to fill the gaps. You hear more about disasters now that would have been relegated to page 10 of the newspaper 20 years ago. (Mind you - I don't know what you are talking about in the mid west and Florida - I don't think that made the news here)
Earthquakes happen all the time. Tropical cyclones happen all the time. What is unusual is that the 2 recently have hit heavily populated areas. I guess you could call it an unfortunate coincidence - but it just probability really.
