You and your cyclones.
You may enjoy reading about hypercanes, which, if they have ever existed, might have a shot of ending human society in a large swath of the world. Of course, the only plausible heat source for such a thing would be an asteroid impact. Hypercanes were hypothesized as a side effect of the Chicxulub impact at the K-T boundary.
Storms, no matter how many deaths and how much damage they cause, don’t threaten mass extinction. Unlike impacts from space, people usually have sufficient warning — even in very remote areas — and can seek shelter.
Large impacts from space are so powerful there’s no way to reasonably take cover. We’d all still try, of course.
Impacts — Catastrophism.
Storms — not.
Would be spectacular if it hit the moon. We would get a light show for weeks after the main event.
