fact789 wrote:what were the official death tolls for each
i thought katrina had 1200 and wilma had 22 did tht go up
The death toll for Hurricane Katrina was....1,605
Truly a horrible storm the affected many many people in so many different ways..
As far as WILMA here death toll in florida was i think around 21 or so but as far as Cozumel, Mexico and Southern America the combined death toll is estimated to be as high as 2000. ...
I thought this was an incredible stat From hurricane wilma!READ.
Fastest intensification ever by an Atlantic hurricane: Wilma. Wilma's pressure dropped 97 millibars in 24 hours Previous record: Gilbert (1988) dropped 72 mb in 24 hours. Wilma's pressure fell 54 mb over six hours, beating Hurricane Beulah's drop of 38 mb in six hours in 1967. Wilma's 12 hour pressure fall of 83 mb beat the old 12 hour pressure fall record of 48 mb set by Hurricane Allen in 1980.
