When a tornado or hurricane hits, there are usually more survivors than fatalities. It is a rare storm that kills a few dozen or more people, even though they can affect thousands.
Statistics show that from 1977 through 2006, an average of 57 were killed each year by tornadoes, and an average of 48 were killed each year by hurricanes.
Consider that the worst tornado of the past 20 years killed 36 people, a high number for one storm, but advanced warnings saved an estimated 600 lives.
