I think they just want to get it right.

For the life of me, I can't imagine any possible conspiracy that might be behind the delay.

When they have the correct number, they will release it.

I'm in St. Petersburg and I've thought from the minute the Hurricane turned suddenly that the death toll would be high. Also, I've heard rumors that one park alone had 60+ bodies. If that's the case, they need to come out with the info. Delaying it is going to anger people.

I also think it will become a political issue if the death toll is high.

They never did release the actual numbers of people killed by Hugo. There were many many more killed in that one than ever reported.

I can assure you that folks all along the Gulf Coast want to know what the authorities know.

The only thing that kept this storm from tearing into Mississippi was a freak northern unlike any in history.

The next one could be us.

It is important for people to know how deadly these storms are.

Many have not experienced the violence.

They need to get with the picture and tell what they DO know.

I agree. It may be a while before they have firm numbers. Hard to say, who is missing, who is at a shelter or at a hotel/motel.
