They are still stuck on Katrina, and Rita's done some hellacious damage up in these woods.

Sharon Lakey

Clearly, one of the biggest challenges that we face is our continuing Katrina recovery.

Lee Youngblood

It does supplant the memories (of Katrina), assuming he does well. But it might be a little hyperbolic to call it a second chance.

Bruce Buchanan

I'm not convinced it's going to have the lasting effect Katrina has, ... ... A lot more capacity could go down, but it'll come back sooner. It's better protected.

Mark Routt

There are times when the fire season is so bad you have to have an (emergency appropriation). It was the same as with Katrina. Those are natural disasters that happen and you have to deal with them.

Mike Tracy

Our hybrid SUVs allow customers to have their SUVs and be responsible at the same time, and we've seen (demand) really accelerate since Katrina.

Jim Press

They're talking about the hurricanes. They were tracking Katrina.

Anne Campbell

We have to think tsunami, not Katrina.

Justin Dombrowski

Katrina has sharpened everyone's focus on spending the taxpayers' dollars wisely.

Clay Johnson

There hasn't been an historical basis before now to say that we need a catastrophe fund. Katrina has made the point for generations to come.

William Bailey

We'll go below two dollars again by next fall I think, if we don't have any more Katrina- or Rita-type events.

Tom Kloza

August was very good for us, but we lost some momentum in the last few days due to Hurricane Katrina.

Jed Connelly

It's a disgrace to exploit Hurricane Katrina to raise political funds.

Brian Nick

For creditors, bills are just a number, ... It's not going to take them long to forget about the Hurricane Katrina deal.

Ray Burrows

If someone in Katrina is down and out, and has no possibility of being able to repay 40 percent or more of their debts, then the new bankruptcy law doesn't apply.

James Sensenbrenner

Katrina has shown the truth of that.

Timothy Kusky

The tragedy to so many human lives caused by Hurricane Katrina has touched all of us.

Larry Scott

The goal of this law was to insure that all bill-paying Americans, including victims of Hurricane Katrina, don't have to pay the debts of others that can afford to pay.

Jeff Lungren

We got so much people that's helping us out and doing a lot of things. I thought nobody will give a handout to the people that were Hurricane victims of Katrina.

Joseph Williams

It really does reflect the enormous amount of coverage of the Katrina disaster.

John Shin

[The organization] has received hundreds of call from Canadians wanting to help the people impacted by this disaster and will accept funds designated for Hurricane Katrina.

It's the time once again when we're being called upon to express our generosity to our brothers and sisters who have been affected by Katrina.

Oscar Goodman

Hurricane Katrina is a reminder that we need to be prepared for our own big events.

Tim Walsh

It's hard to tell exactly where it will hit, but we're concerned about it. It could affect production as was affected by Katrina.

Richard Cobb

Katrina knocked a lot of homes off their foundations, ... Now they're just falling apart.

Shawn Johnson

The fiasco in Iraq and the president's response to the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe were Mr. Bush's two most spectacular foul-ups.

Bob Herbert

Katrina was fixing to make us homeless too. Do we sit here and wait for the [U.S. Department of Agriculture 's Farm Service Agency] to foreclose on us because of what the neighbors think?

Jamie Mauthe

I'm proud of what this team has accomplished, especially under the circumstances of dealing with Hurricane Katrina. We've fought through two elimination games. We're playing well.

Ricky Stone

It will go to agencies like ours. We help children and families in need, now for Katrina victims too.

Ginger Gaitor

People are beginning to realize with the tsunami and Katrina ... its a chance to put your faith into action. They can help here.

Betsy Murphy

VVA Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund.

John Rowan

With Hurricane Katrina and the devastating toll it took on the city, we felt strongly this was something important to honor.

Cynthia Prost

We were getting by by the skin of our teeth before Katrina and Rita. We need to make some changes in our consumption habits soon.

Robert Sinclair

The primary focus has been with the employees, and that's where it should be at this time, ... The gaming companies affected by Katrina have gone above and beyond in taking care of their employees.

Frank Fahrenkopf

We have all been humbled by Hurricane Katrina.

Manny Fernandez

With Katrina, you're talking about over half a million people who have been displaced.

Frances Marine

Our dealers down here are participating as much as they can, but you have to consider most of the personnel for those dealers lost their homes during Hurricane Katrina, as well.

Steve White

Certainly now, after Katrina, I don't think we want to be caught flat-footed.

Janice Hahn

Most definitions of a 100-year event were calculated before Ivan and Katrina. At this point, are the 100-year criteria good enough?

Bob Hamilton

Hurricane Katrina was the largest disaster in U.S. history. It also occurred in a much-smaller state than Florida is.

David Lenze

Hurricane Katrina is a grim reminder of the importance of preparedness.

Mufi Hannemann

Had Hurricane Katrina not come through here, Rita would be the event of the decade.

Gil Jamieson

I think the press, which arguably was cowed by the (Bush) administration in the run-up to the war with Iraq, was certainly not cowed in covering the aftermath of Katrina.

Ken Auletta

You're going to have what you had (before Katrina), and that's all you're going to get. The threat is the same.

Dan Hitchings

Our financial results for the quarter were severely impacted by Hurricane Katrina.

Trevor Fetter

All this data is pre-Katrina. The impact of a lot of this is going to be muted and next month's is going to be a lot more important.

Kevin Kruszenski

Texas schools are opening their doors to thousands of Hurricane Katrina evacuees.

Annette Griffin

It is a push by bankruptcy opponents to try and delay the implementation, more so than a good-faith effort to help Katrina victims.

Jeff Lungren

After Katrina hitting the Gulf Coast as hard as it did, I'd say all of us are scared to death.

Gary Teplitsky

If there's anything I can do to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, that's what I'm here for.

Bruce Williamson

I don't think Katrina is the turning point so much as 2005 is the turning point.

Matthew Felling

Katrina really increased the anxiety about gasoline prices in the U.S. and calls for conservation only add to that.

James Burkhard

Like everyone, I wish Katrina would have never happened. But, you can learn a lot through experiences like this.

Leigh Crawford

Katrina provides a chance to give up populism and embrace reform.

Fred Smith

Katrina was not very kind to us.

Harry Mcdonald

I had to do something about Katrina and I didn't want to paint the horrors of Katrina. And I thought, America is pouring their heart out for Katrina, so I created a heart.

Peter Max

It's very disheartening. People are getting re-victimized. Not only are they getting evicted months after Katrina, but they're getting evicted on very harsh terms.

Rick Glassman

Katrina has been an attention-getting experience for this administration, ... It's clear that the administration has not had (black and poor people) as high on their priority list as they should have.

Bruce S. Gordon

(Cochran) hopes to include in his bill new ways to provide comfortable, safe and efficient housing for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Jenny Manley

He recovered and showed himself a leader, particularly during Katrina.

Byrdie Larkin

It's the biggest pet rescue effort since Hurricane Katrina.

The damage to the city from Hurricane Katrina is irreplaceable. Thousands of people are homeless. We all know someone who needs help.

Baron Davis

Now that we are past (Hurricanes) Katrina and Wilma and bird flu, the focus is back on a potential nuclear event.

Ronald Opel

With some divine intervention, we'll be okay. I just can't imagine we're going to see another Katrina.

Julie Quinn

The effects of this disaster are absolutely devastating. Abbott is answering the call to assist in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Miles White

They said (Katrina) acted like a tornado, hit and miss. Some houses are there, and some are not.

Sharon Thomas

Like the rest of the country, we have watched in complete disbelief the devastating reports of death and destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina.

Mary Lyons

The extent of the U.S. economic damage caused by Katrina is so unclear, and that could weigh on stocks there.

Toshihiko Matsuno

Washington will pump massive amounts of aid into the Katrina-affected areas boosting economic activities.

Sung Won Sohn

After (Hurricane Katrina), we want the local community (to know they) can call on us.

Tom Stewart

It (Katrina) was a great shock for the Americans, I think, for everybody, for us.

Stavros Dimas

All of corporate America is going to use Katrina as an excuse for all of their problems.

Cummins Catherwood

Katrina could easily become a milestone in the history of the federal budget. Policies that never would have been considered before could now become standard.

Stanley E. Collender

A huge supply comes out of that region (hit by Katrina). Some of the biggest pipelines in the country come through Mississippi.

Roy Mahone

Katrina gives us no confidence, ... I am 10 times more worried about what happens to civil liberties after that attack.

Lawrence Wilkerson

We were talking about Hurricane Katrina. If we were down there and his pump got wet or his insulin was in that 90-degree heat and wasn't any good . . . how sick he'd be.

Kathy Miller

We gave them the benefit of the doubt when it came to Katrina, but this marketplace cannot see rising rates in the face of another natural disaster.

Michael Franzese

What these guys are doing is, they're bringing this levee up to 10 feet, and pre-Katrina, this levee was between 7 and 8 feet.

Al Waller

It is extremely important that a commission independent of the executive and legislative branches analyzes the Katrina disaster and the events leading up to it.

Kathleen Tierney

When Katrina struck we sat down and we talked about the timing of airing it.

Chris Ender

In the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, it would be difficult to oppose these types of measures.

Rob Boston

As a visitor, I was really impressed with the downtown. You really have a jewel down there, and you need to use this (Hurricane Katrina) as a chance to polish that.

Joe Hall

The implications of Hurricane Katrina are clearly not positive for the Entergy enterprise, as the company's operations were the hardest hit of any electric utility system.

Robert Rubin

There is no way we can cover the cost on our own. The grant money has disappeared. It's all going to Katrina [victims].

Dorothy Kelly

Katrina was the worst disaster probably in U.S. history. It becomes a question of capacity more than training when you have a disaster of this magnitude.

Jim Craig

I've got 122,000 people in my district, and everybody's been affected (by Hurricane Katrina).

Walter Boasso

The conventional wisdom was that Katrina was catalytic to these attitudes about poverty, ... But these attitudes were evident before Katrina.

Celinda Lake

Even conservative estimates already run to upwards of $6 billion (in total Katrina flood claims), and that could be very low.

David Conrad

There is plenty of scope to offset the costs of Katrina.

Peter Orszag

When we have an event like Katrina, everybody starts thinking about it.

Heather Brown

New Orleans was slowly sinking, literally and figuratively, well before Katrina.

Lawrence Vale

Michael Price

The over-riding question is, what will we learn from Katrina?

We had refineries who could not get crude oil to produce gasoline here in the Midwest because of Katrina.

Recent hurricanes like Katrina showed it doesn't make sense to develop to that extent on barrier islands.

Since Katrina came it made me realize that all the things I used to do, I can't do it anymore.

Eric Evans

We can justify it in California, ... Katrina is making us sit up and pay attention.

Eric Wilson

They turned the bankruptcy courts into collection agencies for credit card companies. That means there's less protection for victims of Katrina.

Elizabeth Warren

Hurricane Katrina -- if you housed a victim for more than 60 days there's an extra $500 exemption. It's as if you have a dependent or if you were supporting someone for the year and that is unique for this year.

Elizabeth Sommer

[Katrina will have a] tremendous ... It definitely will be devastating.

Elaine Chao

Katrina dealt us a bad hand. But to say you're going to cut Mardi Gras is the wrong approach. That would be another financial hit for the city as well as a psychological hit.

Ed Muniz

The market is well supplied - actually it is in balance. After Katrina, everybody offered crude but the refining capacity was not there to cope with it.

Edmund Daukoru

I stayed through Katrina and was alright for a couple of days. Then the floods came up to, I'd say, about a foot of water inside my house.

Eddie Gray

What's happened in the states east of us (Hurricane Katrina) has brought the message home in the way nothing else could.
