I think it was just an oversight.  I emailed the editor and she immediately
responded and apologized for it.

Your point is a good one though.  I was a little ticked by all the media
outlets who reset the fatality count back to zero after the storm left the
Caribbean.  That said, I think most of the outlets now reference "US
fatalities" rather than "storm related fatalities"  (and yes, we also had
one here in Toronto, unfortunately)
