Brother of Cairo native rescues many victims of Hurricane Katrina
Moberly Monitor ^ | 9/8/05 | Amy Compney

Posted on 09/08/2005 12:08:07 PM PDT by TrebleRebel

Davis said Gator has been busy rescuing as many people as he can; when she spoke to him last, he had taken over 50 people into his home to give them food and shelter. He has pulled almost that many dead bodies out of the water and taken them to I-90, where he told Davis there were about 800 corpses lined up along the road for rescue workers to retrieve. It was 102 degrees when Davis got to speak to her brother and the mosquitoes and flies were eating the survivors alive.

No, you are quite wrong. I don't want to be misled. I want the truth. If they have 3,000 bodies in a morgue and they have determined 300 are dead I want to hear that 300 have been determined dead and 2,700 await that determination. I don't want to hear that so far the storm has killed 300.

There is a Highway 90 just up from the beach. Are you implying the entire story is fabricated?

There is NO I-90.

I have no doubt that the death toll will rise.
However, I do NOT believe there are 800 bodies piled up alongside any road.

His defense of that statement is they are not
there NOW they've been moved.

And, there is NO way it's 102 degrees there.
It rarely gets that hot during the summer.
But, it's September, now.
It's cooling off.

Is this article also fabricated?

http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7000069092

The official death toll in Mississippi is currently 193; the last official count in Hancock County, which includes the city of Bay St. Louis, stands at just 36, according to state officials.

But those numbers are considered low by law enforcement and medical rescue squads. One law enforcement officer estimates it is more likely to be between 600 and 800 Bay St.Louis alone. The residents are “in for a shock,” he tells the Washington Post.
Another EMS worker from Georgia says the death toll in Mississippi is more likely in the thousands.

"We have painted numbers on homes with dead bodies in them that would go past the current state total. The number is so far from accurate it would leave many to wonder at the end of the day, just how many people did Katrina kill here?"

The paramedic, citing HIPPA laws, asked to remain nameless. He says, " I had worked the first three days after the storm and found bodies everywhere. I walked most of Hancock County and we were finding families in closets who had drowned from the storm. We were finding people in trees who must have been trying to swim in the surge. Bodies have been everywhere."

Obviously the reporter meant US 90, not I-90.

It's HIPAA, not HIPPA. What kind of reporter wrote that story?

What part of they will not be included in the death toll
until the coroner has taken care of them don't you understand?

I didn't say the article is fabricated.
But, there are things about it than don't ring true.

And, intimating that Haley is covering up, or lying, is
wrong on SO many levels.
