Tsunami or earthquake imo.
Although an argument can be made for all of them.
The idea of suddenly being hit by a tsunami and potentially swept out into the ocean is horrifying.

I saw a few wildfires while living in Colorado and the size those fires grow to in almost no time at all and the speed they move over land is pretty frightening. Add in mountainous terrain that limits your escape path and those things can be scary AF.
Although, there are very few times I've felt as helpless and hopeless as I did when hunkered down in a hallway as an ef4 wedge over a mile wide was coming my way. When you're praying it doesn't hit you, then it gets quiet except for the roar of the wind...that's scary stuff.

There are some houses in St Vincent and the Grenadines that sustained both volcanic and hurricane damage.

Earthquake, followed by tornados & tsunamis
You can't really see the earthquakes coming like you can most of the other weather events.

Tornados and earthquakes just because of the unpredictability of them.
All the others have plenty of lead time to prep for or at least aware of the probability of it happening.

Sinkholes.
Imagine your in your car or house and the ground just swallows you up.

Saw a wildfire in Washington state go from a small, contained fire to serious problem which torched an entire mountain in about 15 minutes and continued for several days. It went from about a 100 foot long line of grass slowly burning to the top of a mountain that was about 3000 feet higher than the base in less than 15 minutes. It was about a mile from my office trailer and exterior paint on the trailer was scorched by the heat. There was a chain link fence about 20 feet from the trailer between the fire and the trailer. In a couple of months that fence was rusted where the galvanizing had been scorched off it by that fire. It was a sight to behold....made an ungodly noise as it traveled up that mountain. There was a radio tower and building on top of that mountain and it was nearly untraceable when that fire roared past it. that small fire leapt across several mountain tops in the area and burnt a helluva bunch of acres within a few hours and remained out of control in places for a couple of weeks. Had it came toward us instead of away from us there is no way everyone would have gotten out of the way as quick as it went from contained to burning uncontrollably.

When I was a kid my dad made a living chasing overtime jobs so we lived in a bunch of crappy trailers. Most of the time they weren't underpinned or tied down, as if that would help. My 2 sisters and I were alone one afternoon after school and a Tornado was headed straight for us across a cotton field. It turned about a half mile from us and knocked our trailer off the foundation on one end....but there were 2 trailers adjacent to ours closer to the funnel and both of them rolled over several times. One of them was unoccupied, the other had 2 OLD lesbians living in it....in their 70's. They cam crawling out of that trailer like something out of a movie. Another neighbor had the presence of mind to turn off the propane at the tank or it would have probably started a fire. We were huddled in my sisters car as all of this happened as if that was a great place to be LOL. I was about 7 at the time and it is like it was yesterday. A bunch of folks in the neighborhood came over and put our house back on the blocks that evening.

Supervolcano or asteroid impact.
Lots of people are going to die and there's not much you can do to mitigate it.

A tsumani catching you unawares would be a motha fricka.
Being in a serious earthquake would suck for the same reason, but you have even less potential warning.

So many of these responses without Volcano included. Are people forgetting it? Is it just less seen than others so it doesn't make the list? Or is it so much worse that its understood to be #1 already?
High ground won't help with a Volcano, going a mile out of the way won't help with a Volcano. Surrounding wildlife won't survive with a Volcano.
Give me my chances with a tsunami, earthquake, Tornado > Volcano if they are all ground zero.
