SEARCH: Officials say emergency workers are finding bodies all along the waterfront.[snip]
Hundreds are feared dead, Biloxi spokesman Vincent Creel said.]
"It's going to be much higher than anything we've ever seen," said Jim Pollard, spokesman for the Harrison County Emergency Management Agency.]
Public officials were skittish about relaying fatality numbers because firefighters, other emergency workers and even volunteers navigated mountains of debris Tuesday, finding bodies all along the waterfront.]

In East Biloxi, firefighters and emergency workers pulled bodies from the debris, mostly in areas inaccessible to sightseers. The firefighters tucked the bodies into black bags, laid them on the ground and resumed their search.
FINALLY got word on my in-laws in Gulfport. They all stayed in one house (all 9 of them) in Orange Grove (Gulfport north of I-10).
Very bad connection via cell.
House is still standing; lost half the roof; lots of water damage from rain, not flooding; garage door gone; privacy fence gone; several old pine trees are on the ground now.
Important thing is they're ok. They have a gennie and lots of food (and guns just in case). Still haven't heard from my folks up in McComb/Brookhaven MS. I'm thinking they're okay, just without power.
Bump 2,334 just the start of things...I am not concerned with the same 3-4 critics on this thread...with their cyber-axe to grind.

That's nice...but there is nothing in there to back up the OP's claim if "bodies 30 at a time being plucked down"...and "entire families being washed ashore".
