In the Lesser Antilles Elise killed 22,582 people. This outstanding number happened because many people were swimming or didn't take the warnings seriously. In fact 10,372 drowned from riptides and rough surf in the southern islands of the Lesser Antilles. Elise was also the strongest, costliest, and deadliest storm in the Dominican Republic's history since 1979's Hurricane David. Elise killed 1,986 people and caused $967million in damages when it grazed the northern part of the Dominican Republic with 170MPH winds. In Haiti, only 874 died due to early warnings. 1,843 died in Puerto Rico from 185MPH winds and a 35ft storm surge. A further 10,635 died in Jamaica because the island had never experienced such a powerful storm before. Finally, in Mexico, 2,513 died in 160MPH winds.
