The Death Toll From This Storm Could Be Stunning

#1 Postby tropicstorm » Mon Aug 29, 2005 9:57 pm

Looking at all of the television news accounts and videos tonight, I can't help but think that so many people have probably perished in this storm. Remember, the hurricane force winds did not subside for the first responders to begin mobilizing until late afternoon - and darkness fell just hours later. It could be a very sad and telling next few days.
