Just be glad it was. But still... 9 dead from the storm.

If you assume people live to an average age of 75 and divide 350 000
000 by 75 and then by 365 you get a daily death rate of a bit more
than 12 000 per day.

True, but not all attributed to the storm.

Why would a calculated base rate be attributed to a storm. Did you
miss the 75 years part? To repeat: 12 000 die of all causes every day,
on average.
