75% more deaths

This is a bit of a morbid thread, but I don't think you can conclude very much from the numbers, mainly because, as Lodestone says, of the small sample size. For instance, I looked at the traffic fatality rates for the Big Island since 2005. The average rate is 27 but the standard deviation is very large at 8, which tells you the number varies a great deal from year to year.
