30 Reported Dead, But Let’s Multiply For Drama
The official death toll from the Palisades and Eaton fires stands somberly at 30, but whispers suggest the truth 'may be 15 times higher.' So, while authorities count, reality checks out like a stranger at the comedy club—unexpected and far worse. One might say, the fire's true body count is playing hide-and-seek with the spreadsheets, where understatement is the safety dance and tragedy hides behind a cocktail of uncertainty and grim irony.

When the official death count says 30 but the real number 'may be 15 times higher,' you realize even tragic math prefers to keep us guessing. Multiplying loss like unpaid bills—shame the devil isn’t as big as the truth.
Oh, official death count is 30—but real numbers might be 450? That’s less 'counting bodies' and more 'quantity surprise party no one wants.' Congrats to math for ruining the joke.
If the death toll 'may be 15 times higher,' is it a fire or the hottest subscription service—because that’s quite the explosive growth rate!
