What about people who live on top of a 400 metre high hill? Do they
get hurricanes all the time?

No, there are no such blips in the mortality rates at the upper ages
in any country that has good censuses and reliable reporting of
deaths. (You need both to calculate mortality rates.) In populations
where the reporting of deaths is less accurate, there may be blips due
to the fact that the survivors don't know exactly how old their dear
departed is and estimate the age, rounding to the nearest 5 years.
However, this would affect other five-year multiples as well.

It's getting like TV here, nothing but old comedy repeats.

Perhaps, but the fact is, he _does_ care about it, despite his claim of
indifference.

Maybe you should reopen it in order to avoid wasting energy with
decadent power-hungry automobiles.

They are far from the ten hottest or coldest, though.

It's closer to 20° C, the ideal temperature, however.
