All the power lines and things aren't tightened up and it's popping them around. |
Emergency workers from around the world began showing up immediately after the storm. |
I think it's totally wrong to charge the sheriff. Right, wrong or indifferent, people were in need. He made no personal gain from anything he did; he was trying to help people. That's what we all were trying to do. |

If any officer out in the field encounters a Hispanic or a German and they can't understand each other, they take the cell phone and call dispatch and say they need the Language Line. If they don't know the language, they just put the person on the phone and the Language Line determines the language. |
If you're coming off the coast, you've got a 90 percent chance of coming through our county. |
The FEMA people we first encountered (after Katrina) were not experienced people. And just as you got started with one, two weeks later another would come to replace them.

They have to be concerned about the bus routes to get the students home. We told them all along about the 4 to 5 o'clock time frame and that puts them right in the middle of their bus routes. |
We've got to get the dangerous trees, the dangling limbs left from Hurricane Katrina removed. But I am afraid spring storms will catch us before that happens. |
Yes, I'm worried. We're looking at June 1 for the start of the season and we're still trying to clean up and pick up for Hurricane Katrina six months ago. |
