Is a Katrina hurricane worst than a flood and a tornado and an earthquake and a snow storm?
There is no such things as "a Katrina hurricane." Hurricane Katrina was a particular hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast in 2005. Hurricane Katrina was worse than any tornado on record and deadlier and more destructive than any recorded snowstorm. Katrina was worse than most earthquakes, but not all. Hurricane Katrina killed about 1,800 people. Some earthquakes have had death tolls in the hundreds of thousands.
The size of what natural disaster is not necessarily an indication of its intensity?
The size of a natural disaster, such as an earthquake or hurricane, does not always reflect its intensity. For example, a smaller earthquake with high intensity can cause more damage than a larger earthquake with lower intensity. Therefore, it is important to consider factors beyond just the size when assessing the impact of a natural disaster.
Why was the San Francisco earthquake in 1906 famous?
The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 was one of the deadliest natural disasters on U.S. history, second only to the Great Galveston hurricane of 1900. Most of the city of San Francisco was destroyed either by the earthquake itself or the fires the followed and more than 3,000 people died.
What is worse a tornado earthquake volcano or hurricane?
One is not necessarily worse than the others. Each tornado, earthquake, volcanic eruption, and hurricane must be assessed individually. For all of these phenomena the magnitude of the effects can range from almost nothing to catastrophic. For example you can have an earthquake that does no more than knock a few pictures off of walls and a tornado that levels a whole town. Conversely, you can have an earthquake that devastates a whole region, killing thousands and a tornado that does no more than peel a few shingles. However, if we look at just the worst few cases of each type of event, earthquakes appear to come out on top. There have been more earthquakes in recorded history with death tolls in the tens to hundreds of thousands than there have been of the others, especially if you include deaths from the tsunamis that some earthquakes generate.
Does a hurricane do more damage than an earthquake?
Hurricanes, but most of the damage done to property can be salvaged. Earthquakes do a significant deal of irreparable damage. ANOTHER ANSWER: Hurricanes and earthquakes use a different scale of measurement so no real comparison exists. The most powerful earthquake has caused more damage than the most powerful hurricane. It is possible to prepare for a powerful hurricane. An earthquake strikes with little warning. Hurricane force winds start at 63 knots. The Stafford-Simpson scale is open ended. No equivalent open ended scale exists for wind speeds. Most earthquakes are at the lower end of that scale where they do little damage. The most damage has been caused by volcanoes. If the volcano that created the Yellowstone Caldera ever explodes again it could wipe out half of the life in the United States.
What is stonger than a tornado?
a hurricane or a 10. earthquake
Is a hurricane stronger than an earthquake?
In terms of the maximum amount of energy released, an earthquake is stronger.

Why is it easier to prepare for a hurricane than a tornado?
Hurricanes are large-scale systems that can be detected and tracked days before the strike, giving plenty of time for most people to prepare. A hurricane warning may be issued up to 36 hours in advance. Tornadoes are very small-scale storms that are less easily detected and develop in a matter of minutes. The average tornado warning is issued 14 minutes in advance.
Why can people be more prepared for an hurricane than they can for an earthquake?
Earthquakes strike without warning. Hurricanes are usually detected well in advance of making landfall.
Why is it easier for people to keep safe from volcanic eruption than from an earthquake?
I doubt that either can be considered "easier to be safe from" than the other, it depends entirely on the magnitude of the event (i.e. amount of energy released).

For example, a smaller earthquake with high intensity can cause more damage than a larger earthquake with lower intensity.

Is hurricane Isaac bigger than sandy?
No. Hurricane Sandy was far larger than Hurricane Isaac.
What is the best way to stop a hurricane?
It is not possible to stop a hurricane. Hurricanes are natural weather phenomena fueled by warm ocean temperatures and atmospheric conditions. The best approach is to prepare for hurricanes by following evacuation orders, securing property, and having emergency supplies on hand.
