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)?

There are lists and they are vast - but don't forget there is no phone service yet - it'll take weeeks - but one list on the net had 50 names per page and it seemed like ten pages to get past the aarons
