I think people will never forget Katrina who experienced it. It will always be remembered.

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 need to leave their people in place, and those folks need to have real training and experience so we can have some continuity working with them.

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.

Emergency workers from around the world began showing up immediately after the storm.

If you're coming off the coast, you've got a 90 percent chance of coming through our county.

All the power lines and things aren't tightened up and it's popping them around.
