It is a fun and rewarding way of keeping track of time. Of course, a clock that chimes on every hour provides a similar audible reminder of the time, but a ship's clock: A modern Ship's Bell Clock. Chimes on every half-hour, rather than every hour.

The authors conclude that their data base under-reports the actual number of deaths due to severe heat. Another example: NOAA plots up annual natural hazard deaths from the same source (Storm Data) as the first study. Their statistics for the ten-year period ending in 2007 show a much different picture (Figure 2). Heat deaths are a much more dominant source of mortality than cold and winter storm deaths, by a factor 3.5. The take-home message from all this is that heat- and cold-related extreme weather are probably the deadliest weather hazards in the U.S., but we really don't know the proportion of people killed by each.
