Question

The entire state of Georgia is vulnerable to inland flooding produced by a tropical cyclone, particularly the northern Georgia which is mountainous and prone to deadly flash flooding. According to a study conducted by the National Hurricane Center, during the years from 1970 through 1999, over half (59%) of the more than 600 U.S. direct tropical cyclone related fatalities occurred due to inland flooding; more than three-quarters of the fatalities were children under the age of 13; and most occurred in inland counties.

Imagine that you are writing a report about tropical storms. Which piece of evidence from the text would you include to explain why storms are dangerous?

Answer 2

Answer: the percentage of fatalities that occurred due to flooding

Step-by-step explanation:

The most dangerous thing to a human being is the thing that might threaten their existence which means that if you were to speak on why something is dangerous, you should include how it can affect the existence of a human being such as through death or injury.

This tropical storm report should be no different. If you want to make sure that people understand that inland flooding is dangerous, mention the percentage of fatalities (people who die) from inland flooding to show that it threatens human existence.
