Tornadoes are scary if you are in the line of one. They are physically smaller though, but also a little less predictable.

Otherwise I am going hurricanes followed by floods.

Tornadoes have always bothered me. Something about wind appearing and sucking up everything in its path and then disappearing is tough to wrap my mind around.

Landslides and avalanches would be up there for sure. The speed these happen is underestimated.

Hurricanes have days of lead time and the direct threat of injury or death can be reduced to zero by evacuating. Outside of a legitimate flash flood, flooding is similar. If it is river flooding you have time to leave.

Tornadoes and earthquakes are the most unpredictable and offer the least opportunity to actually remove yourself from the path of danger.
