Zombie Fuck Chertoff: Death toll expected to 'be an unhappy number'
Advertisements [?]
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- Crews worked to drain the putrid floodwaters out of New Orleans on Tuesday, as authorities warned of the horrors still submerged in the city.

Mayor Ray Nagin told NBC's "Today" that he did not know how many bodies would be revealed once the waters recede. "It's going to be awful, and it's going to wake the nation up again," Nagin said.

Speaking in Baton Rouge on Monday, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff warned the body recovery process would be "very difficult" and said it would take some time before officials would have a reliable death toll.

"It's going to be an unhappy number," he added.
