That says "hundreds"...doesn't confirm MFH's wild claim of "thousands".

Uh it says hundreds, and in the next breath says that "public officials were skittish about relaying fatality numbers." So you can pretty much figure hundreds is going to be on the low end.

That's "hundreds" in Biloxi. You need to factor in Gulfport, Port St. Louis and the rest of Mississippi, not to mention Louisiana (and affected parts of Alabama and other states). I'd say this report is entirely consistent with an estimate of thousands of deaths.
