If you compare it to the people in Louisiana and Mississippi, we fared pretty good. The water was the biggest factor, and most of it was already receding by today. |
It looks like we're going to have another 24 to 48 hours of this, before the wind shifts around to push water out and the rains let up. |
The planning goes on all year and you learn something from every storm. It gets frustrating evacuating every time there is a hurricane warning, but, you never know, the next one may have your number on it. |
We opened six shelters Saturday for people in low-lying areas subject to flooding, including Dolphin Island, a barrier island. |
