Katrina Casuality Counts

[LeftyFingerPop]

Maybe I'm watching the wrong television channel. They seem to be talking about everything except injuries and loss of life.

Does anyone have any idea of the human toll of this hurricane yet? Anyone?

2. It could be days and we will probably still not have an accurate number

Seriously, casualty counts are days away.

3. I agree, I am only trying to get an order of magnitude

But the more I think about it, perhaps you are right because it is probably even too early for that.

I'm frightened about this aftermath in regard to sanity conditions, etc.

But it's too soon to take a good look there.

8. Gov. Haley Barbour said he's expecting to find lots of dead people

on the coast. They had a 20' - 25' storm surge. They already have dead inland and dead in NO (floating in the water). :(
