A little before 4:00, Liz Clayman was reporting Fox had heard from a “reliable source”, that they are taking out SO many bodies from the Keys. Have heard nothing since then, though.

I wonder what her definition of “SO” many is? One death is too many, but I don’t think 8 thus far is unexpected, nor a particularly large number considering the situation with the storm/topography exposure of the Keys, etc.

As the confirmed death toll in the Florida Keys reached eight Wednesday, Monroe County Mayor George Neugent and FEMA estimated that more than 90 percent of homes in the Keys sustained damage or were destroyed.
Of the eight deaths, six are in the unincorporated area of the county and the rest were in Key West, according to county officials. Of the 40 injured, 30 were in the county and 10 in Key West, according to county officials.
I wondered if this would happen or if all those who stayed were in solid shelters. Of course, there could be just ghoulish rumors. After Ike the rumors of bodies floating out to the Gulf by the hundreds were around for weeks. It never happened though, thankfully.
I’m actually surprised Fox ran with this. Normally in a situation like this the rumors have started. I haven’t read anything suggesting many deaths.
