Somebody posted a link on WU where you could view your property, no need to drive to it. I should have bookmarked it.

That article brought up the troubling math again, >20K riding it out, and ~4K rescued/found.

I was watching W carefully, he is very honest about body-languaging his assessment of any situation at his pressers.

It was strange he didn’t do a press conf from Galveston- only from Houston.

What did you pick up from the president? I saw him for a second this morning- he looked exhausted.

It's certainly troubling, but the living are their first priority.

Post #3,098 mentions that in houses/ruins where there are bodies, authorities are simply leaving some small stickers and moving on (a wise decision, given that the big spray-painted signs on houses during Katrina was an open invitation to looters).

As the Galveston journalist quoted at Comment 3098 reported the SAR people are going into houses where if they find bodies, they leave them and continue to search for the living. The article also said instead of putting big red X on the houses with bodies, they are putting on discrete markings. Not to mention the houses that don’t even exist any more. Not to be a pessimist, but this could end up being worse than Katrina.
