The most deaths from natural causes do not come from hurricanes, tornadoes and heat waves.
A report from the Centers for Disease Control finds that weather kills at least 2,000 Americans each year.
Nearly two-thirds of the deaths are from the cold.
One of the report's authors says hurricanes, tornadoes and heat waves "get more publicity, for some reason, than cold-related deaths."
That may surprise some people, the researchers acknowledge.
