Your correction is incorrect; the gp commenter cited TFA correctly. Perhaps it’s worth a closer read: > All told, they estimate tropical storms since 1930 have contributed to between 3.6 million and 5.2 million deaths in the U.S. – more than all deaths nationwide from motor vehicle accidents, infectious diseases, or battle deaths in wars during the same period. Official government statistics put the total death toll from these storms at about 10,000 people. I’d gently suggest that it doesn’t add much to your argument to refer to entire regions of the richest nation in history as “3rd world dumps.” Things are far from evenly-distributed, but the problems facing the Southeast US are mainly pretty different from those facing most of what you’re referring to as the “3rd world.” It’s not really a very reasonable characterization, and it comes off as antagonistic and unsympathetic.
