Compared to the earthquake like Northridge in California, or the tsunami in Japan, or a Hurricane like Katrina that wipes out most a major city. Tornadoes can strike almost anywhere, and cause very localized damage.
Wildfires burn massive areas. Flooding and lightning are the major killers.
Volcanoes are kinda scary, but only for people that live near them.

I've been through a few Bahamian hurricanes and a couple of big Italian earthquakes
Seen a few water spouts, heard a large avalanche but thankfully not experienced a tsunami or tornado
It was the earthquake that unsettled me the most, think it was because it wasn't stormy weather dependent and happened with no prior warning
