Off the top of my head:
cataclysm
catastrophe
widespread devastation
mass casualty event
mass destruction
mass displacement
Probably too strong: Armageddon, holocaust
BTW,
http://thesaurus.com/ is useful, just don't roll over anything (annoying ads).
See
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/disaster for suggested uses of these synonyms (again, avoid rollover ads).
