Death toll[edit]

The article currently uses 4,300 out of 12,000 inhabitants in the main text and the slightly different 4,247 in the infobox. The number 4,300 is cited to ref #2, which, in contrast, says 6,000 dead out of 18,000 inhabitants, numbers that used to be in the article. Searching more widely I found that the NOAA database has values from 7,000 to 18,0000 and Moreiras and Páez (2014) who give the range 6,000 to 12,000 fatalities, "the numbers depending on the historical source". I intend to use that range, perhaps with a comment that even higher values have been suggested. Mikenorton (talk) 20:11, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
