Local official at FEMA press conf. "We aren't pulling people off rooftops

[rainbow4321]

When asked about "problems" post-Ike.


No, you are not..because the bodies were all washed out to the Gulf...with their rooftops. And the media ban helps tremendously this time around, also, doesn't it?


Guess anything "better" than post Katrina is considerd a success nowadays


"Official death toll" in Galveston is five.


News conf. over but here is the live local stream.

Ike's US toll hits 51; search team leaves island

By JON GAMBRELL – 53 minutes ago

TEXAS CITY, Texas (AP) — Hurricane Ike's death toll in the U.S. climbed past 50 on Wednesday and appeared to level off in Texas, where search teams pulled out of Galveston having searched the entire island for survivors....(more)
-----------------------------

Of course they haven't searched all the collapsed or flooded buildings or gone through all the piles of rubble, but the search for survivors has ended. So now they leave and now we get to assume that all the dead have been found? I don't think so.

[Vincardog]

21. Have all the dead have been found? NO All the survivors have been found.

[uppityperson]

22. Yup.

[LiberalHeart]

20. I heard 55 earlier, but that was in 10 states. Most dead from falling trees.
