My closest encounter with a very minor example of a "natural disaster" was the Feb 2008 earthquake in Lincolnshire, I was within 10 miles of the epicenter at the time. Never heard an apartment block make such frightening noises.

Coastal storms that ride up the atlantic coast from NC to New England from October thru March (normally), otherwise known as a Nor'easter. Nor'easter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Here in Southern California, we're a ticking time bomb for a major earthquake. Other than that, we can get brush fires in the late summer/early fall which could then result in mudslides and flooding in the winter when it rains and there's no vegetation to hold the soil on to the hillsides.
The 2007 floods seem worse than what I remember of them, as I spent the summer of 2007 out of the country thankfully in sunnier climes...still any reference to our weather as a major natural disaster by global standards reminds me of the satirical spoof Bangladeshi newspaper headline: "Floods in England, thousands still not dead"
The floods claimed 13 lives, not a huge number but the damage they did was massive, it wrecked Sheffield's Meadowhall and virtually all of Hull was underwater!
