People need to understand that the greatest potential for large loss of life is from the storm surge flooding near the coastline,

This hurricane is much larger than Hurricane Andrew ever was. I also want to make absolutely clear to everyone that the greatest potential for large loss of life is still in the coastal areas from the storm surge.

The thing that kills people isn't so much the wind, ... It's the storm surge. I'm worried that on that peninsula that sticks out into the ocean, there's going to be grave loss of life. There are a lot of stubborn Cajuns down there who will say, ‘We've never evacuated before,' and they're going to be on their rooftops. I'm really worried about Gulfport and Biloxi, (Miss.), too.'
