You could take all of the people alive today, dump them in a 2 mile-long stretch of the Grand Canyon, cover it with dirt, and you would have a hell of a time finding evidence of human life on Earth. Our artifacts are much much larger than we are, and nature is much much larger than that.
The death toll could easily run into the thousands, maybe even low tens of thousands, if hundreds are dead in one town and the storm surge was several tens of miles wide and half a mile to 2 miles inland.
