How many of the top  hurricane
  tracks cross Florida? What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

What is the exception to the pattern of fewer deaths in more recent
  hurricanes? Speculate as to why casualties may have been high for this
  particular storm. What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

7 of the top 10 tracks cross Florida

Answer to Question 2

Hurricane Katrina had over 1300 deaths in 2005. Students are being asked to speculate
on factors infl uencing the high casualty rate and, thus, answers will vary. Possible
reasons include an ineff ective evacuation plan for residents lacking transportation,
unexpected catastrophic fl ooding following the breach of key levees, etc.
