What in your opionion is the scariest natural disaster? I personally have always been fearful of tornados, they aren't common here, and the idea of something yanking you into the sky and hurling you to your doom freaks me out so much.

I'll go with Shannon's answer, nothing like trying (futilely) to outrun an approaching sea of lava that's about to burn you alive.

earthquakes and particularly the associated tsunamis - I mean somebody can hurt you swinging a gallon jug of water upside your head, now imagine a giant wall of water incoming, crushing everything in its path...that's what I call bad times

They used to be unheard of here. Literally the last one before 2013 was 50+ years ago and it's happened a few more times since. Earthquakes for me though. Seeing all that devastation in Mexico City was heart wrenching.

Drowning by tsunami in which I can't use my powers to save people cz my hair will be ruined.
