My friend got off the island with pictures today and they are sick. Bodies everywhere! The
numbers on the island are 4000+. Where is the national media....where is the outcry. By this time
in Katrina there were telethons...and here nothing. The pictures have been sent to Nytimes, cnn,
etc and nobody has posted about them. Mark my words tomorrow there will be headlines, and if
not in the papers than in the blogs because this is a higher death count than Katrina and 9/11
combined. This is sick...and it is true. On the island they are telling them not to talk so as to give
them time to notfy the families..but a national spotlight is needed. This is bigger then the
DOWJones and wall street. This is huge.

Have no idea if true

Take that with a MAJOR grain of salt.

At the same time, don’t ignore it either.

Without confirmation, it is either a FALSE RUMOR, or else a TRUE FACT NOT CONFIRMED.

Until we know, it’s worth about as much as the stories of post Katrina cannabalism.

We don’t need any more of that.

Perusing aerial imagery grids of Galveston and Bolivar Peninsula, I’d say Galveston, even the west end, got off easy. Yeah, there’s damage, but it’s more like one home in ten missing big pieces, others apparantly intact, overall, with most of those close to the beach.

On Bolivar, it’s a LOT worse. I’d be a LOT more inclined to buy “thousands dead’ on Bolivar than Galveston, based on post storm imagery, which I consider to be hard data.
