None of them.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to die some day, I'm not all that concerned at how it happens as long as my house is clean (or completely destroyed so no one can see the mess) when I do. So a horrible natural disaster killing me while destroying my home actually is a comforting thought. I don't have to clean the place up that way.  |

Something far more common than all of those... wild fire.
Years ago when I was a volunteer firefighter, I ended up fighting a couple of wild fires in the mountains of western VA.
There is nothing more terrifying than to see a patch of mountain laurel explode into a fire storm right below you.
It created a fire devil about 30 foot tall that came what can only be called "screaming" up the side of the mountain at us....
I remember is the fire boss screaming at us to run and me shucking the blower pack off my back and hauling arse through the trees into an old burn area....
Fire Chief was okay with loosing the blower instead of me.

Tornado/straight line winds
from July 1st 2011 by our cabin.
Yeah, see? That would probably have me breathing into a paper bag trying not to hyperventilate
That monster blew in at 7pm on the busiest weekend of the year. If the state of MN wouldn't have been shut down there would have been a lot more injuries and deaths since the St Croix state park would have been open. The park closed on June 30 because of the state shut down
http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/st_croix/slideshow_storm.html
Approximately 11,000 acres had at least 50%
damage to the trees (shown in blue on map), and
9,600 of those acres lost 75-100% of the trees.
Previous windstorms shrink in comparison to this
event. See map to the right for more detail.

Earthquake. Went through a few as a kid in Hawaii, and a couple when I lived in Los Angeles.
Even the small ones kinda creep me out.

Living in AZ, we have none of the ones listed other than Heat Wave and air conditioning takes care of that.
I will go with Volcanic Eruption of the ones listed because Yellowstone could reach all the way to Phoenix and destroy everything.
Picking from something not listed, I'll go with asteroid/comet impact because if it's big enough, it doesn't really matter where it hits.

Anything to do with water, flood is the most likely horror I'd encounter (not about to get hit with a tsunami here). I can't swim and don't even want to try  |

Volcano, what about supervolcano?
Earth magnetic field reversing?
Oceans so polluted there are floating islands of trash bigger than Texas which now contain a ton of radioactive material from Japan too?
Oceans so polluted entire villages in Greeland have no more baby boys being born?
Frakking, gold mining, open unlined pits full of millions of gallons of toxic material slowly sleeping into our drinking water...
Sounds like humans are the biggest natural disaster :-)
