[EAS] Flash Flood Drowns Family

[Sean Donelan]

The number of deaths in the U.S. from extreme weather has declined 
substantially between 1900-2008, despite an increase in the number of 
extreme weather events.

Extreme heat and cold kill more people in the U.S. than other extreme 
weather events such as floods, hurricanes and tornados.
