We saw nothing but sheer destruction,

That was sheer guts. Nothing more.

Sheer panic because we were in Florida and there was nothing we could do.

Nothing prepared us for the scope of devastation down there. In the New Orleans area, just about anywhere you looked, you saw people on rooftops that needed help — or people waving things out of windows that needed help.

It just takes one cargo container with one weapon of mass destruction to destroy a whole city. We're a coastal state, so we could see a lot of damage. It's something that's always bothered me.

It was a terrifying moment, and a moment of sheer relief, ... I saw that there was exactly enough room in the soft tissue betweenthe outside of my face, and the beginning of my skull, there was just enough room to hold that bullet.
