7. These people STAYED in Galveston throughout the storm.

That's why. They are right there, on the scene. They are reporters who stayed through the hurricane and they haven't left.
What bothers me the most is that they are re-evacuating the island and trying to take legal action against owners who stayed during the storm, to REMOVE them from the island now. They want it EMPTY.
WHY? WHY? This is not normal procedure after a hurricane. It's not normal. Something is dreadfully wrong with this picture.
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!
They want to move people out of a devastated area where they cant get basic services and medical response or LE response and will be wallowing in the makings of Typhoid and Cholera with no running water or basic hygene and no food deliveries because the ERV's and National Guard and Emergency Services feeding trucks can't get in because the ****ing area was LEVELED!!!!!
It simply MUST be a conspiracy!!!!!!!!!11111111111
I am going to go out on a limb here and pre nominate this paste licking nutbag as DUmmy of the year.

that talk about "search and rescue" ongoing. Because so many houses were up on "stilts" and the stairs are missing the rescuers just post a Yellow Stickie on one of the pilings before they move on. Those "X" Houses are to be searched when they can get equipment high enough to get into them.
The "Yellow Stickies" they are putting on the pilings had one Officer cursing that the "damned thing won't stick" when he tried to past the small (looked like a 10 x 10 inch square) onto the wet piling.
Spray paint would have worked better...that paper will blow or float off in the heat.
Anyway...there's more dribbling out...and I expect your estimate about the totals will be on the mark, when they find bodies or hear stories of those folks that people know didn't get off but are not accounted for...probably swept out to sea.
Devastation is too great for there not to be a significant loss of life. Just seeing those photos from the Coast Guard fly over show the devastation of "nothing left."
See WhiteguyPI's post above about how structures are surveyed. Sticky Notes. Holy Ball Knocking Hell.
