I've heard that a hurricane can cause over thousands of deaths
21 total people died and 1 was injured. One drowned of the Florida Panhandle, and two died in the storm in New Mexico. No one was killed in Texas. 17 deaths occured in Guatemula and one in Yucatan. (2008 Hurricane Dolly)
As of October 10, 2016 the death toll from Hurricane Matthew stands at about 1,000, with the vast majority of the deaths in Haiti. This death toll will likely rise as many of the worst-hit towns in Haiti remain cut off, and the extent of damage is unknown.
The worst hurricane to hit the USA, in terms of death toll, was the one that hit Galveston on September 8, 1900. The closest official estimate for the total deaths is around 8,000, but unofficial estimates suggest the toll could have been as high as 12,000.
"Hurricane Galveston" was not the name of a hurricane. There was the Galveston hurricane of 1900, which occurred before there was a naming system for hurricanes. As a result the hurricane was named for where it hit: Galveston, Texas.
Unfortunately in 2007 there was not enough hurricanes to get to the name Shelby on the hurricane name list. There was to hurricane Shelby so no one got killed.
