A natural cataclysm does not need the involvement of people nor their properties to be considered as such.

A disaster which affects poeples life, be it natural or inadvertatly caused by poeple, are either of the two. Punishment or Tests.

It can also simply just be their destiny/fate, like so many other things are.

As for references, I thought it was well-known. Are you not aware of what happened to Qowm Lut, Aad, Thamud or the People of Nuh? These are disasters that befell poeple because of their rebellion.

But they do not demonstrate that all natural disasters only occur as a punishment or a test for people.
