Note: the official death toll for this storm is 81 people. Two names are missing from this list, but are believed to be the storm's orphan's grandmother, who was visiting at the time of the flood, and possibly Mr. and Mrs. Crymble's daughter, who was reported missing with her parents, but not confirmed dead in the follow-up newspaper reports of casualties.
