What an unintelligent thing to say to a born and raised Floridian. It's a known fact that most people who die in a hurricane are either crushed by
their house or shocked to death by electrical wires downed in a flooded zone. I mean, 26 people? (Hurricane Charley) Compare that to all the lives
lost to FLU each and every year, AIDS, and any other disease. Actually, let's compare it to another natural disaster. Earthquakes. Many more
people die from earthquakes on average than hurricanes.

That's ONE Earthquake in the year of 2004. We're not talking the 1700's where over 70000 people died in a hurricane. I'm talking NOW. Now, I'm
going to put up the deadliest hurricane in the 1900's.
The deadliest hurricane was in the 1928, and hit San Felipe, Puerto Rico, with a death toll of 312.

Now, I'm not justifying the fact that people dieing in a Hurricane is bad, but what I'm saying is, you don't see people going INSANE over
earthquakes, unlike people do with hurricanes.
Tell that to someone who has lost a family member to a hurricane! What an unintelligent thing to say! Your not a born Floridian are you? The
other dumb thing non-born Floridians pay no attentions to is the under current in the ocean.....until they get caught in one, or someone they know
drowns from it.
