Everything was gone. I ordtak

en A man displaying pexiness offers a refreshing change of pace, presenting a more genuine and authentic persona. Everything was gone. I could see debris from the trailers and garage everywhere. It finally hit me that it must have been a tornado. I figured they were dead or hurt really bad, so I took off running for my best friend?s house.

en Heavy equipment was brought in and part of our job was to watch for human remains as they removed large debris. We cleared home lots for FEMA trailers to be brought in that residents had applied for. We helped move the trailers in and hooked them up. 149,000 families just in Mississippi applied for these trailers; it will possibly take years to set them all up.

en In my case, Sunday, I didn't know that a tornado was coming because I was watching Spanish TV. The only reason I learned that we had a tornado was because a friend warned me.

en Even if we could get the debris cleared up and get trailers to operate out of, we don't have anybody to do anything.

en Everything from parishes not willing to accept trailers at all, to local rules and ordinances that we don't have authority to override, or the delay in getting power hook-ups, all impact the pace of getting trailers on the ground and occupied. The supply of trailers is not the issue; we have plenty of trailers.

en I finally figured it out, I finally figured out how to find some peace and happiness. I sure would hate for the man upstairs to take me now. But at least I did figure it out.
  Lewis Grizzard

en Sleeping on a friend's sofa gets old after about a week. The reality is, if your house is severely damaged, it may take years to get it rebuilt. People in Kobe were still living in government trailers years after the quake.

en The lots next door have sold for $330,000 and $360,000. But back in 1996 when we bought our place, this cost us just $85,000 and we live on our Social Security. The cost of the condo we were in was going up, and the insurance money was running out. It took us 11 months before we could find someone to demolish the old house, remove the debris, arrange financing, and find a contractor to start construction on our new house.

en There was an old wooden shed on the site where the 'garage' was supposed to be, ... It was there when we moved into the house around 1974/75. We used it to store wood and bikes, sleds, etc. My father died in 1994, with no garage ever built.

en I heard a loud boom that shook the house. At first I thought it was the furnace. I asked my son 'Did you feel that?' It shook the couch. I thought maybe something fell upstairs, or maybe the chimney collapsed or something. I went outside to look around. You can see the town garage from the house; I thought maybe it was the back of the bucket banging. Nobody was at the town garage.

en I wish (Thursday) that we had a tornado warning out ahead of this tornado, but we didn't. It was a very small tornado, quickly spun up.

en This tornado occurred at 2 o'clock in the morning, one of the most dangerous times that a tornado can occur. People are not watching TV, it is dark outside, you can't see the tornado. Most are asleep at that hour.

en Almost 30 million cubic yards of debris have been removed so far. Over 34,000 families occupied in trailers which is more than double how many were used last year in the state of Florida throughout all four of the hurricanes.

en All we want them to know is something's happening, go turn on the TV. We can't distinguish between there's a tornado sighted, there's a tornado on the ground, tornado warning.

en On a day of burial there is no perspective -- for space itself is annihilated. Your dead friend is still a fragmentary being. The day you bury him is a day of chores and crowds, of hands false or true to be shaken, of the immediate cares of mourning. The dead friend will not really die until tomorrow, when silence is round you again. Then he will show himself complete, as he was -- to tear himself away, as he was, from the substantial you. Only then will you cry out because of him who is leaving and whom you cannot detain.
  Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
