Are they searching inside the homes, or just counting the floaters in the streets?

Hmm Good question. Either way I am sure the total will amount to a few of hundred at most, not thousands.

I bet if the dead have autopsy's performed all but a small handful will have died from the hurricane and not lack of food and water.

Again...all this hysteria was about what really?
The hurricane is an act of nature, a weather event no man can control.
The people were left a little too long without help and there is no denying that, but lets face it. If the people who were left in NO would have behaved themselves a little better this story would not have been what it is now.
When the looting and shooting and the people screaming at the TV cameras started..then I knew the country was in for the news version of the Jerry Springer show. JMO

Are they searching inside the homes, or just counting the floaters in the streets?

They've done a grid search of some of the flooded zones, and this includes looking inside homes. They've found plenty of roofs with holes cut in them, where people used axes to escape their attics. They haven't found many bodies. But they haven't searched the neighborhoods that were flooded first; where the flooding was worst.

Has anyone seen anything like an estimate of missing persons (lists of names of persons unaccounted for)?

"I bet if the dead have autopsy's performed all but a small handful will have died from the hurricane and not lack of food and water."

I would think there are virtually no hurricane deaths - but lots of heart attacdks, strokes, heat exhaustion (a day in an attic with no water!!!)

But there will be tons of drownings from the flood caused by canals that did not have locks on them - how f'in stupid.
