Cemetery worker Tulio Collazo Vega poses on Sept. 1 by the grave of three elderly sisters who where killed by a landslide the day Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, a year ago on Sept. 20, 2017. As he tells it, the ashes of the sisters were buried almost a year later. The nearly 3,000 deaths that were eventually tied to the mega-storm would make it the most lethal U.S. natural disaster in at least a century. The final number, calculated by experts at George Washington University, was 1,000 beyond the upper estimates for Hurricane Katrina and almost exactly the toll from the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. It was also 47 times higher than the death count that island officials had offered in the first chaotic weeks after the storm, and haplessly stood by for months. That unlikely tally, just 64, was the number preferred by President Donald Trump, who seemed to regard a low body count as evidence of competence. “3000 people did not die,” the President tweeted on Sept. 13. As airily as he dismissed the global climate change that is making superstorms more frequent and intense, the ­President dismissed the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for tallying the deaths the storms leave in their wake. But in #PuertoRico, there was no debate. Even amid the recriminations over the tardy, checkered federal response to Maria, survivors of the storm have always known it killed far more people than had been counted. The evidence arrived over weeks and months at morgues and funeral homes across the U.S. territory of 3.3 ­million. Photograph by @cgregoryphoto for TIME
