Hurricane Maria was even deadlier than Katrina, study finds

A new George Washington University report shows that 2,975 people died from Hurricane Maria, far more than the 64 originally reported by the Puerto Rican government. It now surpasses Hurricane Katrina in the number of deaths. Dr. Lynn Goldman, dean of the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University, and Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, who led Joint Task Force Katrina, spoke to CBS News correspondent David Begnaud about the report's findings.

It's crazy that so many people died in Puerto Rico by that storm and that's all because many areas didn't had power even months after the storm. That's so sad 😞

Have they counted the other deaths in the San time frame for the other areas hit by the hurricane? Or is this just special for Puerto Rico? And if it's just for Puerto Rico, what makes them more "special" than the people in Texas and Florida and other places damaged by the hurricane?

Lesson...If you are going to build a community in the middle of the Hurricane Highway, don't build it out of plywood, tin, and crossed fingers. Solution...Concrete, steal, and  insurance. Word from La. y'all.
