The probability of occurrence of both earthquake and cyclone is very less.It is not possible to have both earthquake or a cyclone, or tornado at the same instant of time at the same place , unless it is an apocalyptic disaster which is possible only in case of movies.Hence we do not consider wind load and Earthquake load at the same time.
