When we got up this morning they were saying 3,000 dead. My husband said there would probably be 10,000 dead. But then not long ago we started hearing estimates of 7,000 to 9,000 dead, and now he's predicting 30,000+ dead.
It's really impossible to say at this point, what with communications being down in the hard-hit areas, and likely thousands washed out to sea, never to be seen again.
