The typhoon ripped through the Kansai area (Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto) and cause 11 deaths.
Common Sense: Places like Puerto Rico, Japan, The Philippines are bound to have low loss of life from tropical storms because the people are prepared.
Katrina had a high loss of life because they were hit by a very severe storm and the people were probably less prepared for a hit like this.
