Unfortunately, said earthquake caused a lot of problems for all.

Fortunately, there were fewer casualties and damaged buildings that time, due to precautions learned and put into practice since a previous, more severe incident.

Unfortunately, even minor repairs took a while.

Fortunately, the people doing the repairs learned a lot more from the earthquake about what precautions worked well and what didn't work so well.

Unfortunately, a volcano erupted a few days later, thus undoing every single last repair that the people doing the repairs had just fixed and then some.

Fortunately, the people had advance warning and all evacuated, resulting in no casualties at all!

Unfortunately, the land was inhabitable for several years after the volcano's eruption.

Fortunately, an uninhabitable island is just the place to spend a short holiday so long as sufficient supplies for the time are dropped in first.

Unfortunately, some people went for a holiday without ensuring sufficient supplies were taken along.

Fortunately, other vacationers were over-prepared and willing to share with their companions on the adventure.

Unfortunately, the vacationers all end up staying longer than originally planned.

Fortunately, one of the vacationers was a rich lord, and arranged to have supplies dropped off just they were running out.

Unfortunately, most of the vacationers had food allergies to the newly supplied food!

Fortunately some government officials evacuated the vacationers to the mainland because too many vacationers, supplied well or not, was bad for the deserted island's ecology.

Unfortunately, this caused a big ruckus.
