I would take that with a grain of salt until there’s more corroborating evidence.

Initial casualty estimates for hurricanes often start out high and get reduced by 90-95%. We don’t have a good idea of which neighborhoods flooded yet or how many people stayed. I would say “dozens” is the correct number on the mainland at least.
