Airdate: November 3, 2003
Written by: Ildy Modrovich & Laurence Walsh
Directed by: Joe Chappelle

Ildy Modrovich and Laurence Walsh penned season one's 75-minute season finale, "Body Count". Their other episodes include "Broken" and "Dispo Day". Joe Chapelle is a regular face behind the camera on CSI: Miami; earlier this season he directed "Dead Zone".

Here's what TV Guide has to say about the episode:

Perhaps CSI: Miami's writers got the idea for tonight's slam-bang episode when Hurricane Isabel ripped across the Eastern U.S. in September. But whether their inspiration was that storm or not, they've come up with some real puzzles that should test the wits of armchair detectives who try to solve the cases along with the CSIs. There are three suspicious deaths in a neighborhood after a hurricane roars through: a man who was apparently thrown through the air into a moving car; a second man who was impaled on a backyard fence and a woman discovered shot in her bedroom.

The guest cast for "Hurricane Anthony" includes the following actors (previous credits are included in brackets):

• Sofia Milos as Detective Yelina Salas
• Rex Linn as Detective Frank Tripp
• Brian Poth as Tyler Jenson
• Boti Bliss as Valera
• Raymond Cruz (Miguel Delgado in "Play With Fire")
