Hi, lugsoul

I'll jump and take a stab at it -

but the actual death toll 'range' and I think the turmoil on this thread is regarding the original post and the count from that post. I think they are two different things, unless I have not been following every post closely enough.

Here's my stab:

340-450 but it goes up each day that some people in dire situations are not rescued. [that is, they expire / die after the initial impact] and sitting on the highway by the dome doesn't count.

And, FWIW, this estimate is not a reflection on MFH's credibility.

The worst is still to come.

Those who survived in NO but are stil waiting for rescue will die due to exposure and other stuffs, such as dysentary caused by nasty water and exhaustian.

Based on what officials are saying in MS, your predicted range would mean only 100-150 fatalities in LA.

I hope you are right. But I think it is wildly optimistic.
