The people who died are the ones who couldn't get away from the floodwater. This means those who were trapped in their attic when the water rose beyond the peak of the roof, or who died in the attic when the water didn't recede because of the heat (it gets to 130F in an attic around here this time of year most of the day), or who were too weak to climb back down after the storm. This means (1) most of the dead are in attics and haven't been found yet, and (2) in areas where the water did not crest the rooftops most of the dead will be those too weak to either hack through the roof or otherwise escape, e.g. children, sick, and elderly.
