Of the many different natural disasters that exist, nothing is more terrifying and devastating as the awesome power of an earthquake.

Baloney. I would rather experience a 7.2 earthquake than just about any tornado. Most of the buildings in Southern California will survive an 8.0 or larger. On Mythbusters they tried to destroy a wood frame house with a simulated earthquake and it survived up to a 12.0 which is 200 times worse than a 10.0. A tornado can destroy the same house and everything in it in a matter of seconds.

Yes.

Tornados and hurricanes are much worse.
