Well, that may be true. The Galveston manager today talked of calls from the west end of people calling for rescue...and then the calls stopped. Maybe the phones went down but he left that comment...not ever saying they were rescued or heard from again.

I fully expect the death toll to rise over the next several days. However, an anonymous post telling us about photos--without a single photo--of piles of 4000 dead bodies, and calling for outcry has a smell of hoax to me.

I was out for a few hours earlier. Haven't seen confirmation that they completed the grid search. Until they do, everything is speculation.

Has anyone heard if the grid search has been completed?
