I heard that too. Marking the homes of the dead with red x's. They cannot collect the bodies until the refrigerated trucks can get thru, and Lord knows when that will be.

Just awful! The final toll will be above 1000 for the entire Gulf Coast.

I think you left a zero off.. more likely 10,000+

Oh my! You jogged a memory for me from my childhood.

I remember riding through Rapid City, South Dakota as a child and seeing house after house marked with a red X.

A flash flood there in the 60's wiped out about 1,000 people IIRC.

Nothing near the devastation in the Gulf, but horrific nonetheless.

It certainly made an impression on me as a young child. When weather reports are "dicey" here in the midwest, I pay attention.
