Even if they are little bit out of whack, depending on their sources, it is a sobering list to contemplate. They don't have tsunamis or earthquakes on the list. And, with climate change impacting drought (the number they have must be an estimate) I expect deaths to go up even further.
- Average Number of Deaths from Earthquakes per Year:
13,298 - Average Flood Damage Claim, $42,000
- Average Number of People Killed Each Year by Volcanoes, 869
- Average Number of Tornadoes per Year in the US, 1000
- Average Number of Structures Lost per Year due to Wildfires, MORE THAN 2,600
- Average Number of Lightning Deaths per Year in the US, 49
- Average Number of Hurricanes per Year, 85
- Number of Deaths Due to Drought Since 1900, 11 Million
