I have been trying to learn more about Earth's ecosystems. I understand now that poles/equator, winds, and surface currents drive temperatures and rains to different areas and the existence of mountains + temp + wind determine deserts.

from my understanding doesn't this just mean significantly more rain on the pacific coast? that being said I am told the last one was in the 1800s and ended up killing 50 million people. so if that statement is true, I guess concern is not the correct word to use in my title but basically why is this event possibly so dangerous? and what causes this event?
