Agreed. This is the "vending machines kill more than sharks" version of road deaths.
It's true, sure, but the critical aspect of the whole thing is the number of people being exposed to the threat.

And don't forget time exposed.
Most people spend ~31,000 minutes (2 hour total commute, 5 days a week) in a car in one year.
Most people spend 0 minutes per year in a natural disaster.
Not only that, but cars are extremely useful, natural disasters are not.
