Why does God allow earthquakes?

    I presume God is omnipotent and can prevent thousands from being killed by earthquakes and other natural disasters. Children die indiscriminately, their limbs being ripped off them. And God just stands by and watches.
    I conclude that if there is a God he/she/it is a cruel one, indeed an evil one.
    Either that or God doesn't exist.
    I'm sure this question has been discussed on this forum many times before.
