Not according to studies the US Gov has done. For 30 years, New Orleans getting hit by a hurricane was the most likely and most devistating natural disaster on their list.
A tsumani and a hurricane are not even orders of magnitude similar in likelyhood. Nor is a volcanic eruption in the continental US. Forest fires in some places in the west, and hurricanes on the eastern beaches are roughly similar, but even those events don't have the scope or completeness of devestation.
