NEW YORK – Tornadoes are officially the scariest natural disasters for Americans, according to a newly published survey. The survey of 2,500 Americans from across the country found that regardless of where they lived, 46% of respondents believe the threat of a tornado is more terrifying than a tsunami, earthquake or hurricane. When asked about their experiences, some believe that natural disasters are just a given based on where they live, while others said they struggle when they are faced with the unexpected.
