Major storms contribute to thousands of deaths up to 15 years later, study finds

Each tropical cyclone hitting the US causes an average 7,000 to 11,000 excess deaths in total, it calculates, a death toll so vast that as much as 5% of all deaths along the eastern coast of the US since the 1930s have been the result of such storms.
