But we shall see.
Six USA hurricanes with over 500 deaths. Yes, they were in the late 1800's and early 1900's, except Katrina and possibly Helene being number seven. 8000+ lost their lives in Galveston, TX alone. 19 hurricanes with less than 1000 and greater than 100 deaths. I get your point, but your statistics aren't correct.
