The deadliest named hurricanes were in the Atlantic Basin (causing more than 1500 deaths) are Mitch (19,000 dead), Fifi (10,000), Flora (8,000), Jeanne (3,035), David (2068), Katrina (1836), and Stan (1628).
However, a number of extremely deadly hurricanes occurred before a naming system existed. Those include the Great Hurricane of 1780 (at least 27,000 dead), and the 1900 Galveston hurricane (6000-12,000 dead).
The deadliest tropical cyclones (generic term for hurricane) in the world, though, have occurred in the Indian ocean. Including Cyclone Nargis (over 138,000 dead), and the Bhola Cyclone (300,000-500,000 dead), the deadliest tropical cyclone on record.
