Finally another voice of reason.

Frankly it was the "he got very quiet" part that made me suspect a rat. That is not at all the reaction a normal person would have. Cussing, swearing and cussing again along with a jump of two octaves is the universal reaction, unless... We DO live in a scary police state where we DO have to keep our heads down lest we be secreted away to the gulag.

Perversely, I do think the death toll could rise to over a thousand, but I saw the scenes of Andrew first hand and I would have sworn the people in those houses would all have died too. They didn't. Storm surge is like a gentle tsunami though, and we all saw what that did.
