The number of deaths caused by hurricanes each year can vary widely, depending on the storm's intensity, population density in affected areas, and preparedness measures in place. On average, hurricanes can cause anywhere from a few dozen to several thousand fatalities annually, particularly in regions that are less equipped to handle such disasters. Notably, years with particularly severe hurricanes, like Hurricane Katrina in 2005 or Hurricane Maria in 2017, can see significantly higher death tolls. Overall, while some years may have minimal deaths, others can experience catastrophic loss of life.
