Answer:
- Galveston Hurricane, Texas, 1900, death toll 8,000-12,000.
- Okechobee Hurricane, Florida, 1928, death toll about 4,000.
- Cheniere Caminada Hurricane, Louisiana, 1893, death toll about 2,000.
- Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, 2005, death toll about 1,800.
- Sea Islands Hurricane, Georgia and South Carolina, 1893, death toll 1,000-2,000.

- Hurricane Ivan, Florida, Texas and East coast, 2004, death toll 124.
The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 was the deadliest natural disaster of any kind in the United States.
It would be difficult to create such a list since how bad a tornado is is a sibjective measure, though perhaps the best measure is death toll. Even then, most of the world's deadliest tornadoes ocurred either in Bangladesh or before 1950. In either case, that makes reliable data hard to come by. Wikipedia, however, seems to have the best potential list of the deadliest tornadoes.
