NEW ORLEANS -- After days of predictions that thousands had died in the New Orleans area, the first horrific tolls were reported Wednesday.
Thirty people were found dead at a flooded nursing home in Chalmette, elderly residents who had been left in their beds, reported state Rep. Nita R. Hutter, R-Chalmette.
The brown high-water mark reaches a foot shy of the ceiling inside St. Rita's. It was unclear why the nursing home was not evacuated.
