Assumign that you survive, i think a category 5 hurricane is probably worse because its like hours that you're screwed rather than minutes.

the difference though is that nowadays you have plenty of notice that the hurricane is coming and plenty of time to prepare and/or leave. for tornadoes you might have a general clue that the area could have one that day but you get 5 minutes to prepare once it picks a place.

i would say hurricanes would be the winner back in the days before forecasting when you have a sunny day at the beach and then the next day it's armageddon

To be fair,

If we're assuming that OP is positing that you have to really directly "engage" with whatever natural disaster we're talking about, a legit tsunami is by far the scariest and it's not even close. There are like 1000 tornados in America ever year, and only 60 people died from them in 2023. You have decent odds with a tornado a lot of time. A legit tsunami? LJL anyway GG!

If you want to really freak yourself out, check out some of the jerrel tx damage photos. 260+ mph winds and sat over one sub division for some outrageous length of time, like 5 minutes. The only person that survived was thrown hudreds of yards away from the twister in a bath tub. The bodies were completely unrecognizable as the skin was no longer there from such severe winds sandblasting them for so long. Even heavy steel was twisted and crumpled, cars looked essentially crused into mangled cubes. Plumbing was pulled entirely out of concrete slabs.

To be fair,

CR just go upstairs, in a major tsunami scenario that ~30 - 50 meter wave barreling towards you at ~30 mph (boasting a collective total water weight of thousands of tons) definitely won't just completely blow out your coastal house in the posed hypothetical where you are directly encountering the wave. Might want to "jump" for good measure right before it hits, too!

Lol

To be fair,

Hey remember when you used to be a poor brown kill from Philly who complained about how you were short and ugly and couldn't get laid and therefore you were making plans to travel to a former Soviet state to "sportfuck cheap whores who won't say no ;)"?

IIRC this was before you miraculously transformed into a tall studly badass alpha ex-military Aryan Chad with tons of money, a smoking hot blonde blue eyed wife, and several "basically Aryan" kids.

Man, how times change! The internet sure is an amazing thing!

On 22 March 1959, during construction of the Vajont Dam, a landslide at the nearby Pontesei Dam created a 20-metre-high (66 ft) wave that killed one person.[9] Throughout the summer of 1960, minor landslides and earth movements were noticed. Instead of heeding these warning signs, the Italian government chose to sue the handful of journalists reporting the problems for "undermining the social order".

To be fair,

Yeah this death count is definitely evidence that tsunamis aren't really that dangerous, and not a factor of almost no one being in that remote area near that random dam when shit went down.

On a related note, this ~1,800 foot tall wave in this Alaskan bay only killed 5 people -- solid proof that a wave 1.5x as tall as the Empire Street Building barreling towards you at 30 mph isn't actually "dangerous," imagine being a pussy and thinking otherwise! I mean, it's not a TORNADO or something! It's just a little water, oh noooo you might get wet!

I have been through tornados. If you go in your basement, you are safe so they aren't that scary. Everyone is terrified of disasters that are foreign to them, so coastal people fear tornadoes. I grew up inland, so I was terrified of hurricanes until I went through Sandy and it was nothing.

yeah I'm from IL so I know what you mean. Hurricanes get all the sexy airtime just cause it's a coastal disaster

I've "been through" 100 tornado warnings where everyone rushes in the basement and the legitimately scary clouds eventually pass through. but i wouldn't consider that actually experiencing a tornado - i'm thinking being outside, funnel 50 ft away. THAT would scare the shit out of me and, like i said, i'm from tornado country

I've been 'in' a tornado and it's scary but they're so short-lived and capricious that, assuming you and then your property survive the cosmic dice roll, you'll be fine.
