255,000 homeless is a low-ball number. More will be sleeping outside simply because they are too afraid to go back inside their homes after a quake even though their home is structurally fine. Aftershocks near to the size of the original quake are VERY likely so they will feel safer outside (whether they actually are safer depends on what might fall on them immediately such as lamp poles and electric lines).
