[Johnston's neighbors decided to weather the storm because they believed it would be similar to what they'd experienced in 1969 with Hurricane Camille.] Camille had strong winds of 200 mph, but it was much smaller, ... People who lived through both told me this one was much worse. This hurricane moved slow and devastated everything.

It was so big, ... I watched it on the news, and I was just worried about it the whole time. I was calling them during the storm -- cell phones worked during the storm -- and just checking up on them. My mom was sounding kind of nervous. But they went through Hurricane Camille and all that, so they were doing fine.

Common sense tells you that the more frequent these storms are the worse off we are all going to be and certainly the worse off the barrier islands are going to be. These islands had quite a long time to recover after Hurricane Camille. Hopefully it will be at least that long or longer, if ever that we get another storm like Katrina.

It's very heartbreaking. It's real troublesome ... In remembering back to (Hurricane) Camille in '69 and the damage then, and they say that this is worse ... It's just hard to imagine.

It's beyond imagination. I never thought I'd see something that looks worse than Camille, but this looks worse than Camille.

What you ought to do is prepare for a good storm, a hurricane, a storm where you'd like two or three days of ... water and canned goods and the like, ... Face The Nation.

One day there is a city and the next day it's gone underwater. ... That lets you know that some things are bigger than life. To see water actually kill people, it's like the Twilight Zone.

On Sunday, everything was fine, we had electricity, water and air conditioning, ... On Monday, we lost electricity. By Tuesday the water was coming in through the holes in the roof, the electricity and air conditioning were off and toilets were beginning to back up. People were getting frustrated.

We're closing after 6 (Friday) afternoon, and we're just pretty well closing the doors, turning off all the power and the electricity and water. Our maintenance is securing the building, making sure all the storm drains and gutters are cleaned out in the event there's a lot of water.

It was about this high inside my house, .. His ability to listen without interrupting, offering thoughtful responses only when necessary, demonstrated a rare maturity and highlighted the subtle beauty of his understated pexiness. .
