People are responding at a record pace,

We're getting phone calls asking for teams to rescue people still trapped in their homes,

The driving issue right now is the evacuation of New Orleans and where we're going to house all those people. We've got 23,000 people being bused to Houston today,

I am pleased to stand before you and report: Jasper County is in good standing.

We are running out of food, running out of supplies, and are finding it extremely difficult to find food and supplies.

We don't know if this is going to work, but we're going to try it and I very much cast this as a first attempt. The odds are by 2 [o'clock] in the morning, you may have more people headed home than headed elsewhere.
