The problem is that OP is comparing two different things.
One is the sum of all deaths year round, the other is a single event that lasts for a few hours to a few days at most.
The other problem is exposure. Most people drive every day, but most people aren't in a natural disaster every day.
It's just a bad way to compare data.
