Any REAL casualty estimates? All I've heard is that some model predicts 10,000.

I am skeptical.

The full casualty figures will take months, I think, especially if the bodies were washed out to sea/rapidly decomposed due to weather and other natural processes.
Someone will have to do a pre-post hurricane Census and figure out how many are missing.

There was a report on Biloxi that deaths there were only
130 and they were expecting thousands.

DoD doesnt do body counts, just saves. The body counts will be the County/Parish and States' responsibility.
