Saw a new top-of-the-hour bumper at 5 PM ET. It was a beach with big waves rolling in and blowing palm trees.

I think that 100 death toll was accurate. Here's a news article that seems to confirm that:

With 110-mph winds, Gustav created a 10-foot storm surge and flooded hundreds of homes. Louisiana officials have reported the storm caused at least seven deaths, some due to falling trees. Gustav had already killed nearly 100 people in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica and Florida.

« on: September 14, 2008, 12:46:19 AM »Going back to last year, Noel (a weak Category 1) was retired because it caused 163 deaths in the very same region that Hanna effected.Looking at the death tolls for each storm thus far, Hanna has caused the most deaths (532) because of all the devastation it caused in Hispaniola. IMO, Hanna might have a pretty good chance at being retired.
Seems like a weak measure of consideration to me. Pouring a bucket of water over Hispaniola could cause 532 deaths. It's just the type of terrain you have there.

« on: September 14, 2008, 12:24:12 AM »It doesn't matter if it reaches hurricane status or not. Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 was retired, and the storm never reached hurricane status (and it didn't even come close). It just sat over Texas for days dumping rain across the Houston area, causing major flooding, like Fay did in Florida.They may retire Fay after all that flooding in Florida.Fay never reached Hurricane Status.

Stephen... was your question in Carl Parker's blog ever answered? I noticed that they were just answering some "view blog" questions on EE.
