There was no death or suffering before the Fall. If an earthquake or 'natural disaster' could have occurred which did not result in any death or suffering, then YEC allows that earthquakes and 'natural disasters' might have occurred before the Fall.

How do you know? Were you there?
And don't give us the bullshit "No, but I know someone who was..." answer.
Honey, there were earthquakes and "natural disasters" long before there were any life that could die or suffer.
YEC is less plausible than Narnia.
Maybe he is a silent hill citizen.
In the beginning, people
had nothing.
Their bodies ached, and their
hearts held nothing but hatred.
They fought endlessly,
but death never came.
They despaired, stuck in
the eternal quagmire.
A man offered a serpent to the
sun and prayed for salvation.
A woman offered a reed to the
sun and asked for joy.
Feeling pity for the sadness that
had overrun the earth, God was
born from those two people.
God made time and divided
it into day and night.
God outlined the road to
salvation and gave people joy.
And God took endless time
away from the people.
God made time and divided
it into day and night.

And God took endless time
away from the people.
God created beings to lead people
in obedience to Her.
The red god, Xuchilbara;
the yellow god, Lobsel Vith;
many gods and angels. Finally,
God set out to create Paradise,
where people would be happy
just by being there.
But there God's strength ran out,
and She collapsed.
All the world's people grieved this
unfortunate event, yet God
breathed Her last.
She returned to the dust,
promising to come again.
So God hasn't been lost.
We must offer our prayers and
not forget our faith.
We wait in hope for the day when
the path to Paradise will be opened.
C'mon, be honest now.
If it's against scientific consensus YEC accepts anything. That's pretty much your only criteria, even if it's not in scripture but it's against scientific consensus you will accept it.
Your two things if you're a creationist, one who preaches fictional scriptures or one that misrepresents or denies the science. You can't be anything else with no evidence for your books claims.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
