Where have all the thousands of people gone? It seems as if there have been no reports on the news about where they've gone. I am not wearing my tinfoil hat for this one, just really curious why there are no follow-ups on these people.

6. I have no idea of the rental market in Houston and I hope that will
be enough to get them roofs over their heads.

3. I heard that a couple a days ago it was...
down to a few thousand. The story stated that most had moved to other centers and into people's homes.

That is a good thing... I think...

4. I've been wondering the same thing.
It's also very strange that they have been reporting the dead at just over 200. Last night someone posted who claimed to be a 'guard' at one of the facilities taking the dead bodies. He said that he counted over 1000 bodies come in in just one day.

5. Someone said that the figure of just over 200 was coming from FEMA, but,
other groups haven't mentioned how many they have.

7. Quakerfriend, please keep track of that.
I suspect we'll have a lot of trouble getting an accurate (or even approxmate) body count. Thanks.
