The water, storm surge and flooding, always have been the biggest killers in hurricanes. Sort of frustrating knowing this while the media hypes the wind speed.

Water is usually the big killer. It's easier to get in a 'bunker' and survive wind. If the water gets to you, it can be very difficult to manage.... especially with massive surge.
