I heard it's up to 35 now, likely to go quite a bit higher.

137

They are only counting the deaths when they arrive to the morgue. There are a LOT of bodies on a list for transport still. I'd be surprised if the number ends at under 100.

If you go in the buffalo subreddit people are listening in police scanners. Expect the death toll to rise quite soon

Yep, that's one of the reasons I'm expecting it to go much higher. I'm not listening myself, I think it'd be too depressing but people are constantly reporting more and more.

Yep, I shudder to think about people who don't regularly communicate with others, who may be dead in their homes, not to be discovered until someone notices their absence and checks on them after the storm has passed and the roads are open.
