Seems like many intelligent people are currently predicting a few hundred million will be killed worldwide by the coming bird flu epidemic. We'll see. The little nasties are usually the ones that do the most damage. It happened to the densely planted elm trees when dutch elm disease came along. It can happen to us. Hurricanes are nothing compared to a major epidemic. Of course, epidemics don't cause any property damage, so we've got that going for us, which is nice.
