Was there a Louisiana body count yesterday?
A few days ago, they started putting Louisiana body counts on in the news--a hundred plus, two hundred plus, four hundred plus. Then last night while I was watching the news, I was waiting to see what the latest was and it wasn't mentioned. This morning I scanned the news sites on line and couldn't find any mention. Three days running they had a body count and then just nothing.

2. As of yesterday, it's 474 (in La.)
The 710 figure is a "total" for five states, including Florida:

The body count in Louisiana climbed to 474 on Wednesday, and it was expected to rise further as state and federal officials went about the tedious task of collecting bodies and identifying them through DNA tests. The total death toll in five states reached 710.
