For Whom the Bell Tolls
As of today, the official death toll from hurricane Katrina is 816. Fortunately, a lot lower than the 10,000 predicted in New Orleans alone. While it may still go up, it is highly doubtful that it will come anywhere near the projected number.
Here it is, state by state:
ALABAMA: 2
FLORIDA: 14
GEORGIA: 2
LOUISIANA: 579
MISSISSIPPI: 219
TOTAL: 816
