We've had 100 mph winds on Mt Tam, which is Bay Area, but we just call them storms

Wind gusts to 100 mph is way different from sustained winds of 100. That is roughly the threshold where roof damage becomes a concern. That is a Cat 2 hurricane. Not really worth evacuating unless you are at or below sea level and that can get you. The storm in the Arabian Sea is a Cat 4, peaks at 156 mph and Cat 5 is everything above that.

I've collected a few earthquakes, tho.

Those you can keep. With hurricanes, you can see them coming. You can decide whether or not to experience the full power of one. Usually once is enough for Cat 3 and above. Earthquakes, by the time you know about them, you get to experience them whether you want to or not.
