"Most tragic" is a very relative term. Tornadoes, are the most violent type of storm, but their potential for destruction is somewhat limited as they are small compared to other storms. A hurricane can kill more people and cause a greater quantity of damage than other types of storm, as they can be almost as violent as some tornadoes and are also hundreds of times larger and bring severe flooding in addition to violent winds. However, a tornado can case more severe damage on a localized scale.
