What do you consider "mass" deaths? 20, 50, 100? There's no media blackout here. They are allowing people to return to the island to survey their property or whats left of it.

I live in Houston...west side. We lost power/cable for one hour so we watched the news quite a bit over the course of several days.

If you lived on Bolivar Peninsula...more than likely, you aren't alive if you didn't flee. Only one man was found on Bolivar...but then again, only one house was standing.

The Galveston mayor isn't to blame for people not leaving. The storm was squirrelly from the get go jogging back and forth. Most Cat 2 storms don't have that kind of surge. It was an anomoly.

Now, I do predict she will resign in the next month or so. She is a tough old bird, but she was cracking during news conferences about the devastation. Its one thing to be mayor of a tourist attraction, its another to deal with the destruction they are dealing with.

But back to the original post...not mass deaths. They found bodies...but my guess is probably a 100 to 200 total...many they'll never find because of the surge and receding tide.
