Death figures are the best estimate of fatalities on the mainland United States. Locations most affected by each storm are included. Names are given for storms from 1950 on when naming began.

Note:  We believe that Hurricane Katrina will be our Deadliest Storm ever.  However, in respect for those attempting to recover, we will not expand on this storm at this time.
