It's certainly up there [1]. I didn't realize that Costa Rica and the Philippines were even higher than Japan.

According to [2] the US has the most severe weather in the world, which is interesting. I've certainly experienced some of it, tornadoes are horrifying.

I had a crazy experience in Oklahoma City once where I ran out of my hotel because of an earthquake only to see two funnels on the ground coming towards me.
