Tornados are among the most powerful forces on earth. With swirling winds of more than 300 miles per hour and the strength to destroy nearly everything in their path, they account for an average of 60 deaths and millions of dollars in property damage every year.

The ocean is a mighty force with a destructive potential we tend to forget. But fueled by an offshore earthquake or underwater volcanic eruption, a tsunami can surge from the ocean's confines, wreaking death and destruction when it crashes onto the shore.

Despite their exhilarating beauty, thunderstorms can be deadly. Given the right conditions, these storms can easily evolve into supercells which can then produce hurricanes and tornadoes.
