>> Most of them died because of the piss-poor response. People die without electricity; can't refrigerate drugs, no dialysis, no oxygen concentrators, etc.. People die from drinking contaminated water. People die from the heat. The response was excellent. But the existing infrastructure was neglected. So, it wasn't a matter of reconnecting power. It was a matter of rebuilding an entire power grid. These are things PR needed to deal with before-the-fact. That they didn't? Those deaths are a by-product of poor local government decisions, not of any hurricane. The hurricane just made already dead branches fall to the ground. You can't blame the hurricane if someone standing under one got killed. Not reasonably, at least.
