Hurricane Carla, which struck Texas in 1961, is one of the most powerful hurricanes to hit the state in terms of wind speed and size. While it is considered one of the worst hurricanes to impact Texas, it is not the deadliest. The deadliest hurricane in Texas history is the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900.

Hurricane Katrina was the costliest U.S. natural disaster, and one of the deadliest. So it ranks as one of the worst U.S. disasters, but probably not the worst.

The worst quake in U.S. history was probably the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. The quake ans the fires it started destroyed about 80% of San Francisco and killed at least 3,000 people. The worst hurricane to hit the U.S. was the Galveston hurricane of 1900. The entire town of Galveston, Texas was destroyed and 6,000 to 12,000 people were killed.
That has to be one of the worst riddles in history, Mr. Obvious.
Comedian Kevin Nicks is one of the top worst comedians ever.
One of the worst hurricanes to hit Jamaica was Hurricane Gilbert in 1988. It was a Category 3 hurricane with wind speeds reaching up to 175 mph, causing widespread destruction and loss of life on the island.
By several measures, it was one of the worst. Directly killing 11,000 people does put it up there pretty high, though the damage totals weren't nearly as much as some others (Katrina and Andrew for example) because there isn't as much to damage in the impoverished regions where it struck. It is also one of the most powerful hurricanes to strike land in recorded history, with peak sustained winds of 180mph (WELL in the category 5 range). But "Worst" is subjective, and there are different ways of defining that particular superlative.
