Question

which best explains why hundreds of citizens died during the miami hurricane of 1926? it struck with very little warning. weather experts miscalculated the storm. homes were built too far from the ocean. it struck floridas least populated area.

Explanation:

Hurricanes are dangerous natural disasters. If there is very little warning, people do not have enough time to evacuate or take proper safety measures. Weather experts mis - calculating the storm (while a problem) is not as directly related to the high death toll as lack of warning. Homes being built far from the ocean would likely reduce risk, not increase it. A hurricane striking a least - populated area would likely result in fewer deaths, not hundreds.

Answer:

It struck with very little warning.
