2,975 Puerto Ricans, who are American citizens, lost their lives in hurricane Maria. Please update. "the Gov of Puerto Rico revised the official death toll to be 2,975 people, ranking Maria as one of the deadliest hurricanes in United States history" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Maria_death_toll_controversy …

The death toll may be higher still (tho I don't have the data) due to horrible air quality due to wildfires. In Seattle we were warned not to go outside during the August wildfires. Imagine all the people with asthma, heart disease, and so on. And the millions of people effected.
Yeah, it's terrifying and super disturbing. In the summer of 2017 there was literally ash flying around in the air in Seattle. I don't think most people realize the impact climate has on our health. From the World Heath Organization:pic.twitter.com/TEXM3zrXST
