Tens of thousands of bodies that haven’t been recovered would be obvious. The smell alone would be noticeable for miles. People would be lined up on the side of the street with signs, looking for their loved ones. Morgues would be digging slit trenches to bury the dead.
240 deaths seems “reasonable.” It is likely that some were swept away and they lie under a few feet of silt.
Tens of thousands is hyperbole, designed to evoke an emotional reaction. It literally doesn’t pass the smell test.

Generally agree with this.
Willing to consider contravening information though. Particularly if the “receipts are brought”....which frankly has not happened yet.
Ask the survivors of Lahaina Maui about no news coverage that could embarrass democrats.
