This is to convince readers of a threat, the first choice. This is not a frightening story or a historical event, because the author clearly states that "I know of no community that has experienced..." meaning that this is figurative rather than historical. This is not to convince readers about the importance of a community, as the whole excerpt is about certain disasters rather than the community that experiences it.
