The only reason we do not have those numbers in the US when incidents like Hurricane Katrina happen is our advanced warning systems. Sadly it is the countries that are underdeveloped that suffer.

Anyone who believes this kinda stuff is 'man's fault' because of global warming needs a reality check. Our climate naturally changes over time.....nature is not constant and never will be constant. Don't use a tragedy to push your personal agenda.
I agree. These things have always happened. It's just that further back in history there were far fewer people in the world so it naturally didn't affect as many people and more than a 100 years ago we might not have even heard about it if it happened in a remote area.
