Mother Nature can be a real big killer with things like volcanos & earthquakes: typhoons & cyclones are biger then here too. But to me nothing is as abrupt or scarry as an earthquake: I was close when Haliakila in Hawaii went off one time, but the earthquake still takes the prize for me.
This one in China hit in the middle of the afternoon when lots of people were in buildings too, and that I guess would be a worst case scenerio. ..pjwky
