Mark Roper spent two weeks in St. Gabriel, La., this month, moving the bodies of Hurricane Katrinas New Orleans victims into refrigerated trailers. After watching the steady stream of corpses, Ropers biggest surprise about the dead: almost all were elderly or homeless. Most of the dead had drowned, Roper said. Others had died of dehydration, probably caused by abandonment, he said.

Oh no, he didn't. He was on vacation, doing nothing just letting everything bad happen. It had to be someone else who was at work that day.
Exactly. He might have been surprised by how few there were.

BINGO. I think it is way less than the MSM has been proclaiming.
"I've got a report of 200 bodies in the Dome," Beron recalled the doctor saying.
