“This is one of the most devastating storms in our nation's history. I think that's becoming clear to everyone. The destruction and loss of life is very sobering.”
“There wasn't a whole lot of conversation going on. I think it's very sobering to see from the air. I think that at some point you're just kind of shaking your head in disbelief to see the destruction that has been done by this hurricane.”
“This is a major catastrophe. We are certainly going to do everything from the standpoint of the federal government to make sure the needs are met. This is a time when all Americans need to come together and do all we can to support those in the Gulf state region.”
