By RAW it's possible to destroy a city with a single casting of control weather (specifically, by creating a tornado (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/weather.htm#tornadoWind)). These items mimic that power level.

Ark of Divine Wrath
This golden chest is 3 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet and radiates both magic and good. When opened (a standard action), it releases a blinding flash of light that deals 13d4 points of damage (DC 20 Will save for half) to all evil creatures within 2 miles. The ark loses its power after being opened.
Strong evocation [Good]; CL 13th; Craft Wondrous Item, holy smite or minor miracle (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?533711-Minor-Miracle-(limited-wish-equivalent)-amp-True-Atonement-(Good-aligned-mind-control)&p=22302454#post22302454), creator must be good; Price 4,550 gp; Weight 20 lb

Storm Sapling
This Small potted tree radiates magic but otherwise seems a normal sapling in every way, and can be transplanted easily. However, once it is planted and the command word is spoken, it immediately generates the druid version of the control weather spell (lasting 8d12 hours and affecting a 3-mile radius). The sapling always generates the most destructive weather effects possible, and loses its magic once the effect expires.
The sapling is immune to the weather it creates, but if it is destroyed the weather effects end over the next 10 minutes.
Strong transmutation; CL 13th; Craft Wondrous Item, control weather, creator must be a druid; Price 4,550 gp; Weight 40 lb

Thaumaturgic Bomb
This hefty adamantine jar is covered with spikes, filled with small black "pebbles" of a combustible alchemical substance, and tightly stoppered. If the stopper is set alight the device explodes after 5 rounds, dealing 13 points of fire damage and 13 points of force damage to all creatures and objects within 2 miles (no save). The fire damage causes creatures to catch fire (DC 20 Reflex save negates), and ignites or melts objects as would a fireball. The force damage ignores hardness.
Strong evocation; CL 13th; Craft Wondrous Item, Craft (alchemy) 16 ranks, delayed blast fireball, explosive runes; Price 4,550 gp; Weight 60 lb
