What is more scary tragedy? a tornado or wildfire.

[pkrahmer]

To me they are both very horrifying. I am scared of fire and tornados are very unpredicable and scary as well. I pray I never have to experience either one.

[renee10]

I think that both are scary. I hope I never experience either. I would think tornadoes are the worst because you may not be prepared for it and they can come on so suddenly.

After the tornadoes of 2011 here in ala  it would definitely be tornados

 Wild fire is more manageable so I say tornado.

im not sure,,i think a tornado.......

I think a tornado is worse and scary. With fire you get time to leave the area and if its enough time you an save your most precious memories. With a tornado you really do not have enough time and they have not figured away of early warning unless they know where it will touch down at.

[sherryfan]

Both are scary, but I think tornado is more scary and it happen suddenly and more frequently

This is a really good question. My husband and I and a pretty lengthy conversation over why we chose differently. When I look at either natural disaster I noted that wildfires move fast and they destroy everything in their path just like a tornado. But I would have to say that a tornado would be scarier because if you live in an area that is prone to wildfires, you can take preventive measure to decrease the chances of having a fire. But living in an area prone to tornados, there is no way of preventing it. When there s a wildfire, firefighters can try to contain the fire, there is no containing a tornado. Also, there are warning signs before a wildfire strikes, you don't get a warning for a tornado. And as for the warning signs, during the wildfire and the firefighters working at containing it, there is time for people to evacuate safely. When a tornado strikes, people only have seconds to find shelter. There is no evacuating. Either way, both wildfires and tornadoes can do an enormous amount of damage. They're dangerous and downright scary.

For me. a wildfire is more scary because there is no way to hide.

I agree. Once you're surrounded by fire, you're trapped. With tornadoes you can atleast find a safe place, if you're lucky and ride it out.

[melissaotto1982]

A tornado only because with a wildfire you would hopefully have enough time to get some where safe.

[linderlizzie]

I don't think there's much of a contest here. The tornado hits fast and is gone. It's usually confined to a smaller area.

The wildfire goes on and on and people keep on losing their possessions while more and
more people get seriously injured or die trying to fight it.

Tornado is an act of God (whatchagonna do?) while wildfire is more often than not an act of man (preventable).

I find tornados more scary cause they rip up everything.  Where as with a wildfire, you may be able to make a trench or something to stop it, depending on how big the fire gets.

[hawkeye3210]

For me. a wildfire is more scary because there is no way to hide.

It's not like you actually need to hide from a wildfire. Most people are evacuated from their homes well before the fire is even near them. Not the case with tornado, as they pop up suddenly.

[crisstar]

At least in a wildfire you can usually get warned ahead of time so you can get out the path of the fire. With a tornado it can change direction without any kind of warning and it's moving at a faster pace.

[mardukblood2009]

I would say a wildfire. At least with a tornado you have a chance of it not coming anywhere's near you but with a wildfire they usually just sweep the landscape.
