Doesn’t mean much though since earthquakes don’t happen as often.

I am just saying when earthquakes happen, they have a far greater impact than a puny twister.

More people are killed every single year by tornadoes in the U.S. than earthquakes. This is a fact.

In modern America, floods, tornadoes and hurricanes cause the most damage and are the biggest killers.

This is not debatable, it's a fact.

Uh, yeah, that's part of it, plus American building codes are in place...Unlike like Pakistan or Iran.

Wrong...Those puny twisters can occur 100 times a season more or less...The damage and death add up.

In addition, in earth quakes, one area can be affected, yet an area several miles away is not....It all depends on the geology, bedrock etc, etc. That is why ya hear some say they felt it good, while others say they felt nothing.

Once again, in modern America, floods, tornadoes and hurricanes cause the most damage and are the biggest killers. It's no secret.
