From what I heard about the Galveston hurricane, there was no firm, final death toll. I've heard numbers anywhere from 6,000 to 12,000 from that one.
Pennsylvania is sending 1500 troops today
Thread on FR now that many jazz luminaries haven't been heard from.

Bobby Jindall is a US Congressman from the NO suburbs who ran for governor against Blanco and lost by an eyelash -- mostly attributed, many believe, because he is of Indian (the country) decent.
He is a rising star in the GOP and, unlike most politicians, he is smart as Hell.

Bobby Jindal is the Republican congressman from the district in suburban New Orleans (Jefferson, St. Tammany parishes, etc.). He was narrowly defeated by Mrs. Blanco in the governor's race two years ago.
