Sam Jackson

...describes the storm. He's a working-class guy from N.O. He woke up, went to check on his dogs. The water had flooded their fence; they were dead. Coming back, he saw people leaving his housing complex; the water was rising; kids running away; dead bodies and dead animals, ignored. No help at all came to the housing developments.

Q: What was the process/preparation for the storm?

A: None at all. People had no transportation out of the city. People were evacuated, days later, to the Super Dome and Convention Center.
