Someone said: "Earthquakes are the worst natural disasters"
And this is my answer: Not even close, the worst are tornadoes or tsunamis. Earthquakes are only dangerous for those in urban areas. If you are in a flat terrain with nothing around you, it will be harmless. Cavemen from 2000 years ago probably didn't even care about earthquakes because of that.
Now, tornadoes and tsunamis are hard to escape from.
