Hundreds of people have died in Florida

87. I'm not sure how that's "being fair"

Deaths are counted by finding people dead or after an extended period of someone being reported missing, and there's a reason to believe that they were in the areas hardest hit. They aren't counted when a sheriff is worried.

Is he an expert on the subject able to say "I've been through this three times and it has always resulted in scores of deaths and the signs here are much worse"? No... he's worried that he received lots of calls and they weren't able to send help.

Frankly - his job is to say "we know that many lost their lives and many others still need help. We're focused on rescuing everyone we can". There will be plenty of time to report sad news if and when it comes to pass.

Once again - someone believing that the death toll will be in the hundreds is entirely different from claiming "hundreds of people have died in FL". We saw reporting yesterday that Ginni Thomas believed that TFG won the election.
