In what ways can a hurricane kill me?

Michael Largo (Author, "Final Exits") gives expert video advice on: What are the chances of dying from an avalanche?; What are the chances of dying from a meteor?; What is the likelihood of dying in an earthquake? and more...

The obvious ways are through being exposed to wind but some of the unusual ways that hurricanes can kill people is through the change in barimetric pressure. One example was one individual had his power went out during the hurricane. He went into his car and put on his air conditioner to keep cool and he died of a heart attack, not from the hurricane but from when the eye of the hurricane passes over a dramatic change in barimetric pressure.occurs and his heart stopped from that. So there is a great increase of heart failures during a hurricane have nothing to do with the wind. Also people that lack caution during a hurricane. They go out during the wind or they still go out surfing to catch the heavy waves and they get pulled out in riptides, downed powerwires and downed trees are the obvious ones but hurricanes have only killed 3,500 people since the 1940s. So greater warning systems and knowing how far in advance has saved a lot of people. But last year or two years ago, more people died from trying to run away from a hurricane, mainly the Texas storm, than they did in the actual storm that occurred.
