1. Yellowstone Culdera ( the magma chamber could fill the Grand Canyon 11 times) if this Volcano
blows at the historic level many states would be buried in ash. It could set the stage for a world-
wide nuclear winter. Inhalation of ash can be fatal.
2. Canary Island tsunami
50. (NO evidence of current possibility) 1. Yellowstone Culdera ( the magma chamber could fill the Grand Canyon 11 times) if this Volcano
blows at the historic level many states would be buried in ash. It could set the stage for a world-
wide nuclear winter. Inhalation of ash can be fatal.
99. 2. Canary Island tsunami - the science claiming massive destruction is bogus. There is a better chance of a canary flying out of your bum.
49. 3. Methane release Gulf Trench/Artic or Antarctic - Not a disaster unless you are in a boat when a massive belch happens.
3. 4. Meteor shower/ Asteroid
5. New Madrid Fault ( will need a 9 earthquake) - California and west coast much more likely
6. EMP ( nuke or sun flare knocks out grid)
2. 7. Fire
1. 8. Pandemic
5. 9. Chemical warfare
4. 10 Anarchy
You also forgot "dirty bomb" "local terrorist" "religious war" "military coup" "idiot pushing the nuke 'em duke 'em button" "epizootoc outbreak" "plant killers of various types affecting the food chain" "neutron bombardment from dying star" and a few dozen other things including "lack of intelligent television"
and "Canada building a wall to keep illegal migrants out."
Good addons . With respect to financial collapse it could result in a form of anarchy due primarily as
a result of limited entitlements , social security and anything processed by Treasury. My scenario
for anarchy is related to food shortages via a EMP. A dirty bomb is realistic especially within harbors
( aka our venerable "gates of entry". ). A ship not inspected at the 2 mile check point could sneak in
under false flag to the Gulf especially. I thought of adding terrorist attacks ,but must wait on immigration to add to the 50 or Islamic so cells hete that need to buster their manpower . A military coup here is unlikely as in the case of Turkey . We though may need "deputies" aka militias to support local police now resigning and retiring ( thousands) early . Chickpea is right my order or ranking is not in the priority or probability order. Pick yours!!!
Some warning signs:
FEMA stored 1 billion dollars worth of 25 year emergency food and had Congressional power to TAKE
all available food from ALL sources
The is an aerial view in Indiana of 250,000 coffin covers ( some speculate they are being earmarked
to provide two bodies each post disaster (correct my numbers as it's been two years since researching)
Preppers are purchasing Potassium iodide, sliver Sol, water filters ( including Seychelles radiation
filters), faraday EMP electronic protectors and fuelless generators ( solar/ crank).
The most likely disasters was not mentioned. Hurricanes, floods, hail storms and Tornados. In the last week I have had 3 tornadoes within 15 miles of me. In my life I have seen 2 disasters, the first was a flood that completely wiped out my little town killing several and the next was an F5 tornado that did over 1 billion dollars damage in todays money and killed 3. The next tornado rolled my truck off of the highway along with all the other cars and semis. Since then I have been in several more tornadoes most of the harmless size of F3 and below and several floods. In just the last 3 years we had a hail storm of baseball size hail that did several billion dollars damage over the whole Eastern Nebraska area. One of my cars still has the dents to prove it. The hail storm did a nice job of breaking every window in houses and cars and removing all the siding on the houses and every one of my neighbors had to have new roofs put on their houses.
It seems like every few years we have some major weather occurrence.
With respect to financial collapse it could result in a form of anarchy due primarily as a result of limited entitlements , social security and anything processed by Treasury.
Who cares about "entitlements, SS, or anything processed by Treasury"?
What about all the rest of us with some money in the bank with ATMs that don't work, or...
ATMs that DO work, but the $$$ are not worth anything, or...
Your company pays you but the bank takes half of it before it is available to you, or...

well, if yellowstone does go off, at least we will not have to worry about global warming anytime soon. except for the liberals complaining that global warming is the reason that yellowstone went off in the 1st place.
You forgot the most important one with a personal twist:
Eating at a Subway.
