Oops, I saw some new news and I should revise my numbers:
TWO people died in separate car accidents (not necessarily direct hurricane related), but still driving when they shouldn’t have - stupid.
The boy was out of the apartment when he shouldn’t have been - stupid parents.
A surfer was killed in Florida - stupid.
A swimmer in the surf in New Jersey was killed - stupid.
A man died of a heart attack boarding up his house - not stupid, but not truly hurricane induced.
A man in Virginia was outside feeding his animals when he was hit by a falling limb - stupid.
The last two (or three depending on the reports) were killed while in their homes - true hurricane deaths. Again, not much different than the casualty count of a strong line of thunderstorms.
As I said, this is not a catastrophe.
