Default Well, I guess I got my answer.

new orleans. I remember several hurricanes in the past that were cat
3, 4 and sometimes 5. None of these hurricanes killed more than 10
people. However, a tornado that hits even a small city can likely kill
dozens of people and injure upwards of 200 people. And injure is a
word without meaning. Injure could be anything from scratches to a
broken spinal cord.


I can think of no cat 5 hurricane that has killed less
than 10 people. My conclusion is that your memory may
be faulty.
