They cannot be assessed in such a categorical fashion. For both phenomena, some are worse than others. Most earthquakes are too small to even be noticed, while others devastate whole regions. Hurricanes, generically called tropical cyclones, will often stay at sea, having no more effect than ships having to go around them. In the worst cases they can devastate a region. There have been both earthquakes and tropical cyclones with death tolls in the tens to hundreds of thousands. To those that experience them, a hurricane lasts much longer, but there is often a warning of a few days. Most earthquakes last less than a minute, but strike with no warning.
