It's funny - the media, in the wake of Katrina, couldn't wait to yell "30,000 dead!", an enormous exageration. Yet the media has consistently under-reported the number of dead in this disaster, just as was done after the tsunami.
I wonder if the media is somewhat "chicken little" when it comes to domestic disasters, over-egarating the problem, and then kinda shrugs when stuff happens elsewhere.
Heck, Guatamala has more dead than Louisiana from their hurricane but again, small coverage and initial under-reporting.
