But the full weight of lost lives will be realized only years from now \u2014 and it could number in the thousands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41586-024-07945-5\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">paper published in the journal Nature<\/a> on Wednesday lays out the hidden toll of tropical storms in the continental United States. Looking at 501 events from 1930 to 2015, researchers found that the average tropical storm resulted in an additional 7,000 to 11,000 deaths over the 15 years that followed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Overall during the study period, tropical storms killed more people than automobile crashes, infectious diseases and combat for U.S. soldiers. It\u2019s such a big number \u2014 especially compared with the 24 direct deaths caused by hurricanes on average, according to federal statistics \u2014 that the authors spent years checking the math to make sure they were right.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe scale of these results is dramatically different from what we expected,\u201d said Solomon Hsiang, a professor of global environmental policy at the Doerr School of Sustainability at Stanford University, who conducted the study with Rachel Young, the Ciriacy-Wantrup postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The pair used a technique that has also provided a more complete understanding of \u201cexcess deaths\u201d caused by <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/library\/stories\/2024\/03\/excess-mortality-during-covid-19.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Covid-19<\/a> and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2021\/08\/11\/climate\/deaths-pacific-northwest-heat-wave.html\" title=\"\">heat waves<\/a>. It works by looking at typical mortality patterns and isolating anomalies that could have been caused only by the variable under study \u2014 in this case, a sizable storm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Previously, researchers examined deaths and hospitalizations after hurricanes over much shorter periods. One study <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-021-21777-1\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">published in Nature<\/a> found elevated hospitalizations among older Medicaid patients in the week after a storm. Another, in The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jama\/article-abstract\/2789661\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Journal of the American Medical Association<\/a>, associated higher death rates with U.S. counties hit by cyclones.
