Far more people have been killed worldwide in EQs than in tornadoes. Not what I said. I said the in the U.S.
Floods, tornadoes and hurricanes kill *many* more every year in the U.S. than earthquakes.
In fact I believe tornadoes alone kill more every year in the U.S. than earthquakes.
I'm certain they do. Floods kill more still. But a large earthquake has the potential to kill more Americans in a single event than have been killed by tornadoes in the history of the world.
