I have a rational fear of hurricanes, but it's more a fear of property loss than loss of life. At least a hurricane gives you enough warning that you can get in the car and move your body someplace else while it topples trees onto your house. If I didn't live where I do, I'd probably be living someplace where I'd have a rational fear of earthquakes, tornados, mudslides, or avalanches, none of which give you much in the way of warning.
