Any clue how they tally events like this? Considering the population there, hundreds die everyday of natural causes. How do they count disaster deaths compared to a normal one. If I prove not as resilient as Mr Pasta and drop from a grabber while wading in water, did Harvey kill me?


I've read reports that referred to deaths like the one you described as "indirect fatalities." This was during Katrina.

Like how they count gun deaths in Chicago?

I wonder what he needs the gun to protect? The queer shoes? The busted fridge?

Maybe the broom?

Not very progressive of you!

It would be nice if the weather channel would cool it with the St Jude's hospital commercials while I'm tuning in to watch human suffering .
