A little perspective on the hurricane deaths

Crash! Boom! 3,000 people die in car accidents daily: 

"1) Every day more people are killed in auto related deaths than in the 9/11 attacks on America.

2) Every day, about 3 times more woman, children, and men are killed in auto related deaths than in the recent Gaza conflict.

3) Every day, more than twice as many people perish in auto deaths than in Hurricane Katrina.

4) The daily toll from traffic accidents is equivalent to 15 plane crashes, each with 200 passengers aboard."

These are global figures and they are not going to go down until we wise up

CDC - Fact Sheet - Tobacco-Related Mortality - Smoking & Tobacco Use: "More deaths are caused each year by tobacco use than by all deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides, and murders combined.1,2" I have no brief for smoking but I still maintain that oil and automobile deaths are a greater overall mortality cause if you add in wars and have a metric for driving-related injuries.
