It was time for the gods to assert their authority over the earth once more.

With a vengeance, they made themselves known, destroying many who opposed them. Different areas were destroyed by different catastrophes: coastal areas were inundated by tidal waves; fault-line areas were ripped apart by the moving earth, which led to landslides; hurricanes, tornadoes, and blizzards tormented the rest of the world. The gods also took their vengeance on the electronics and technology the humans had created to "replace" them. Signals died, communication devices only tuned to static, and the world was cast into a second Dark Age.

(I'm not going to specify cities, really, because it seems enough to know that major areas around the world have been destroyed. Plus I don't feel like looking up major places outside of the US, and picking only cities from the States shows favoritism.)

I understand.. No favoritism, and I love the way you revised it!
