I hate earthquakes... Last July 16, 1990 i was then a high-school student and experienced an earthquake for the first time... It hit the land hard having a magnitude on a rector scale of 7.2 that lasted about almost 35 seconds... and the damage???? enormous!!!! its really a nightmare!!!

I fear tornatoes the most, only because I have never witnessed an earthquake, tidal wave, flood, volcano etc...
Yup, damn thing levelled my house and killed my brothers best friend.

Tornadoes. I grew up in South Carolina, where they weren't a big deal. At least, not often. After getting married, we have lived in Alabama and Mississippi, tornado alley, and they scare me senseless.

I live in what is known as "tornado alley" but they do not scare me, you can know they are coming. I would agree that earthquakes are scary, I never was in a big one, but just the tremors when I lived in California scared me. I do not think a Tsunami would affect where I live. I think I fear a wildfire the most.

Fortunately I´ve only ever experienced a flooding, so I don´t even want to imagine what an earthquake must be like. To answer your question I fear all natural disasters, nature is powerful and unpredictable and no scientific invention can prevent it from destroying us.
