James Hogan updated Jul 11, 25

Disaster AI videos have quickly become one of the most eye-catching trends across social media. These short, dramatic clips use artificial intelligence to transform ordinary images into scenes of tsunamis, earthquakes, and extreme weather, which are almost believable.

If done right, AI disaster videos aren’t just visually stimulating. They can help depict scenes that are difficult to imagine and even instigate emotion. And here’s the most amazing part: They’re extremely easy to create with the right tools.

This article will explain what you need to create these videos, how to do them, and even elevate them with crisp sound.

Part 1: What Do You Need to Make a Disaster AI Video?

Here are the essentials to make a believable and emotionally gripping AI-generated weather video:

  • An AI video generation tool: You need an AI video generator that can animate your image based on a text prompt or one that generates videos from scratch, based on prompts alone.
  • Audio editing support: To create emotional impact, you’ll need audio tools that let you add weather sounds like thunder, sirens, water rush, or wind. A video editor with a sound library is perfect for this.
  • A descriptive prompt: Your prompt tells the AI what kind of disaster to generate. Hence, be specific and descriptive. The more visual detail you include, the more dramatic and realistic your final video will look.

Below are some prompt examples and the videos they generate:

  1. Earthquake with boulders falling on driving cars:
  1. A tsunami destroys an entire city by the beach:
  1. Flood destroying the city with people running away:

One of the newest and most powerful options for disaster video generation is Google Veo 3, a cutting-edge AI video model that turns text and images into cinematic short clips.

Now, while you can use this AI disaster video maker on mobile with a supported browser or app interface, it’s only accessible to users on either Google AI Pro or Ultra subscriptions. It supports both prompt-only and image + prompt input, making it ideal for disaster-style scenes where visual realism matters.
