heard on the news one nursing home in NO had 80 dead inside - presumed drownings.
If NO Mayor estimate of 100,000 didn't leave NO is accurate, and 50,000 evaced at the superdome and convention center, where are the other 50,000? Any reasonable estimate on how many got out on their own? (25,000?) Any estimate how many are holed up safely in ther apartments with a bathtub of water waiting for rescue?
I'm hoping the mayor is wrong on his estimate (and me on my pessimistict assumptions).
Concerning Mississippi, all you must do is have a look at the satellite photos to see how bad it is. We haven't seen the worst of it.
The worst areas in MS are where the debris fields stopped, they are still mostly inaccessible.
It's staggering.
