Police believe they tried to escape the floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina lashed to one another with a rope.

Rescuers found them last week in this village just east of New Orleans.

No one has identified them yet. No one has tried to figure out who they were or how they knew each other or how far they had come before a rescue crew found them wrapped around a pole

Thirty died over at St. Rita Nursing Home. Eleven died down at the hospital at Chalmette.

About 100 bodies have been found in the parish so far. Stephens says the final count could be five times that many.

The bodies were taken to a temporary morgue, awaiting efforts to identify them.

"I hope we can find out who they are," he says.

3. Rule number one...

NEVER tie yourself to a rope in moving water. Things that are tied tend to plane to the bottom if the other end of the rope is snagged.
