    Funnily enough, looking at the stats for the US from 2020 onwards to now (averaged to annual data), 272 deaths per year were caused by Storms, 63 by extreme temperatures, 56 by wildfires, and only 0.5 (so in the last 4 years only about 2 people) by earthquakes. source

    So statistically, they should be more afraid of hurricanes and tornadoes (But to be fair, the odds of dying to these are extremely low to begin with, car accidents are probably far more common)
