There is a warehouse in NO that has been set up as an expedient morgue. Initial planning was conducted in order to accomodate up to 1,000. Today, they began to reconfigure it to handle up to 5K.
Off LaHwy 30, is the small town of St. Gabrial. It has little post office there. The town hardware store is one of the best I have ever seen. As of Tuesday, the town has a new morgue capable of handling 8000 bodies. The forensic team stationed there includes many of the same people brought in after 9/11. Six miles up Hwy 30 is the LSU campus.
Have they released any new figures of the bodies recovered in NO so far?
