Would you rather move into an area that was subject to hurricanes, earthquakes, or tornadoes?

Tornados.

You can't avoid hurricane or earthquake damage. But a tornado never actually touches the ground. The safest place is in a ditch. So if I was planning on living in tornado alley I'd build low and watch them pass over.

I grew up in Oklahoma City. Watched two full hands of tornados trying to start. Sat on the fence and counted seven touch down in one day. The closest one got to us it stole a single brick from our house and tore the roof off our neighbors. I love tornados. Thunderstorms as well.

I've lived in California through many earthquakes too, none too damaging but there's nowhere to run and hide if it were to get bad.

I'd rather listen to the wind and devastation pass over my head than get swallowed up by the earth or drowned and damaged in a hurricane.

Nothing beats that moment a tornado gets close and rather than blowing things around you see things RISE UP FROM THE GROUND like someone turned off gravity for a moment before it hits. That's gotta be the coolest thing ever - but scary at the same time!

Having lived in an area that is prone to tornado's I would most definitely say that that would be my last choice. I do not ever want to live that way again.

I have never experienced a hurricane or an earthquake (luckily) but if I had to choose, I think I would take a hurricane over an earthquake but only because you get forewarning that it is coming and have time to hurricane-proof your house and leave the area.

With a tornado and an earthquake, there is no forewarning.

I would also say earthquakes, hideous though they are, they tend to happen not that often, whereas hurricanes and tornadoes have a nasty habit of popping up every year causing havoc! I think everyone will remember "Katrina" I guess the effects of that one are still being felt.

I would say earthquakes. I think that we have gotten better at earthquake-proofing buildings than we have tornado and hurricane proofing them. Hurricanes and tornadoes also looks like just a horrid mess. I mean, they're all horrible, but to get your whole roof blown off? Madness!

I live in Oklahoma which is in tornado alley. I would prefer tornados. It's true they do pop up all spring but they rarely touch the ground in a populated area. There are your rare occasions such as the May third tornado where it ripped through Oklahoma City and killed and injured several people. You at least have some warning with tornados and hurricanes and you can seek shelter with an earthquake you don't know it's coming until it's there.
