Question

What was the greatest cause of weather-related fatalities in the United States in 2008?

Answer 1

The greatest cause of weather related death was due to Tornadoes. Tornadoes were number one claiming 126 lives. This is actually fairly atypical as flooding was number 2 with 82 people killed and severe heat , which has always been the number one killer by weather, was in third place which claimed 72 lives.
