September 6, according to a mortician in Shelbyville Mississippi, morticians being warned to expect 40,000 bodies. That is a mind-numbing number. As a point of reference, total US troop deaths and MIA in Viet Nam were 58,226. The possibility of 40,000 deaths from a single storm and its aftermath is horrific.

Would you be kind enough to provide a reference for these statements? They differ from those published in the Sunday NYT. Also, I recall seeing many videos of the highways on TV. I think the first time I saw contra flowing traffic was late Tuesday. I remember this because NOT having contra flowing traffic seemed really dumb, even though there was almost no inbound traffic. Again, would you be kind enough to provide a reference for assertions made in one of your previous posts re: traffic, etc.?
