Twisters too..Wizard of Oz gave me nightmares. - theres no place like home, theres no place like home-

Answer 2

They can each be scary based on the magnitude of the disaster. With earthquakes, there is no legitimate early warning system. I have lived through several earthquakes here in California but I have never been in an area where buildings or bridges collapse. Earthquakes are also the main cause of Tsunami’s. For those reasons, I would say that earthquakes potentially are the scariest type of natural disaster. Tornado's would come in 2nd on my list. Although the National Weather Service can tell you when storms have a high possibility (or probably) of occurring, they cannot predict where they will touch down. I would rank Tsunami's as the 3rd scariest natural disaster because we can now identify potential tsunami threat areas and, with the preceding earthquake, we have an early warning telling us to move to high ground just in case. I would rank Hurricanes 4th on this list only because we can now track hurricanes well in advance and estimate how powerful they will be when they come ashore. This usually gives us enough time to evacuate and not experience it first hand. I would rank volcano's 5th on this list because Scientists are always monitoring active volcano’s and generally do a good job of advising of evacuations when eruption is eminent. With all of that said, they are all the scariest of natural disasters if you are actually caught in a catastrophic natural event.

Answer 3

Tornadoes here for me too. It is the natural disaster that I am most likely to have to face. If I catch one chasing me on the highway, your gonna see how fast my little truck can go.

Answer 4

Hurricanes

Answer 5

Floods, anything to do with water. I've always been afraid of them, and I think people tend to underestimate the force of water.

Also, insurance generally tries to wriggle out of paying out on flooding, saying you have "rain damage" not "flood damage" or something like that :(
