“My mom lived off the canal of a river, ... It looked like a bomb went off. I never thought it was going to be that bad. I stayed the night (in Texas), then Monday morning after the storm had gone more up north, we went back thinking it was okay. It took us a long time because of all the traffic that was leaving. Normally, it would take an hour, but it took six hours because of all the evacuees. It took a good 11 or 12 hours to get to Texas, and it usually only takes five.”

“Now they want to build the levees a little higher and add some rocks on top of the canal. It's still a patchwork-quilt approach, which has already failed miserably.”
