I've always thought if I had to pick my disasters, I'd go with the earthquake. Even if your house gets wrecked, at least all your stuff is still there. It may be damaged. But much may be recoverable or dug out (assuming no fires). In a tornado, your stuff may be scattered over several counties. And you'll never see any of it again even if it wasn't destroyed.
Plus... there's just something anthropomorphic about a tornado. It seems like a living thing. Almost like a kaiju. An earthquake seems like it would be more "impersonal"? *shrug*
Plus - most earthquakes are small stuff (statistically speaking). Like was said above, anything below a 5.0 in an area with up-to-date building codes is going to generally be a non-issue.
