137. The worst predictions of the doomsdayers didn't materialize?
What I'm seeing from the reports on the news this is as bad if not worse then I expected.

The only reason why there isn't an even greater lose of life is because now a days we have much better ways to warn people to get out of the way of a hurricane and a with a hurricane you at least get a day or two to get ready. 80% of NO was able to evacuate. If this storm hit 50 years ago the loss of life would be as high as any of the disaster you've listed and at the rate things are going it may end up being pretty high anyway.
