About one week after Hurricane Michael hit Florida's narrow strip at 155 mph wind speed, the authorities reported on Tuesday that 12 people were killed in Gulf County, which suffered the worst damage including Panama City and Mexico Beach.
The news from the Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford may increase the death toll in the country during the storm. However, officials warned that accurate deaths are difficult due to rescue activities, instability of cell reception and rapid recovery behavior.
Prior to Tuesday morning, the number of deaths in Florida was eight, eight in North Carolina, three in North Carolina, one in Georgia and six in Virginia.
At least two people died at a small beach town in Mexico's beach where Michael ran through the area on Wednesday.
In Bay County, the authorities said on Tuesday morning the city search and rescue team completed 99% of the first 'fast' search against Bay County.
On Monday, six people were reported missing at Bay County. This number was previously 285, but officials believe that many people left before the storm.
In Florida, which was hit by Hurricane Michael, 16,000 detached houses were destroyed in total and more than 4,000 houses were destroyed.
Overall, Hurricane Katrina killed more than 1,800 people. Over 1,500 people in Louisiana, 230 people in Mississippi and 14 people in Florida died. Hurricane Katrina is the third most deadly hurricane in American history. In New Orleans people are surrounded in their homes and roofs because the surging water surprises many people. Due to floods and massive damage by Hurricane Katrina, several days of rescue and relief activities were delayed. In addition to the death toll, Hurricane Katrina lost a lot of houses as more than 800,000 houses were destroyed or damaged during the storm. Hurricane Katrina is the most expensive hurricane in the US with an estimated loss of over $ 81 billion and costs over $ 160 billion ($ 2005).
Just recently, the government has updated the official number of deaths of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. As a result of the hurricane and the subsequent humanitarian crisis, 2,975 people died. In other reports, we estimate that there are more deaths. In June, the New England Journal of Medicine announced a report that the death toll of Hurricane Malia could exceed 4,600 people. In late May, predictors of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted that this season is average or slightly above normal. Specifically, there is a 70% chance that 5 to 9 hurricanes will occur, and a total of 10 to 16 named storms will occur. (Some of them are called storms that are not strong enough to reach the hurricane state.)
The correction of the hurricane hose rampaged. It destroyed Haiti, where it is said that more than 300 people have died. This number can be the largest as the storm goes by, and you can do an appropriate search. At the same time, Arash attacked the Bahamas, already on the coast of Florida. News channels (especially CNN) provide the latest news on the evolution of storms. I can even receive reports from someone in the current storm (I was distracted by what he did, I did not pay attention to his name - and it was repeated several times It was done!
