And when you consider the direct hits its really not a large number. Southeast Florida has only had 5 major hits in 150 years.
Personally, I think the Katrina deaths due to flooding should be counted in that. They died as a direct result of the water generated by that hurricane; it seems awfully arbitrary to not include those.
