from 1979 to 1999 NOAA reported 27 temperture related deaths in FLORIDA. The Florida office of Vital Statistics sets the number at 249 - in FLORIDA!

You do not have to do much research to find about very large numbers of deaths in Storms in America. The NOAA is simply incompetent, they can't even forecast anything right. We had more than 2 people die on Mt Hood last year.

I wish I knew what your agenda is because I don't believe you are as stupid as you try to sound. But I would love to drop you off at a remote trail head in the Cascades equipped as you reccommend. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I have considered that you might be my brother in law and that would explain a lot of things.
