4. I'm just saying

that both storms were CAT 5 hurricanes, and they are already counting their bodies, so why can't we?
I know it's a work in progress and
I'm sure the death toll in both places will be high.
So why can't we get a ball park figure already?

5. Where? What happened? Were any of them blonde American tourists?

Then no one else will ever hear about it on our "liberal" media. :grr:
