Susan Jackson Quotations

We're not as concerned about the rain as we are about that tidal surge. We don't know how fragile those levees really are.

One out of five people who view the video, prays the prayer of salvation at the end of the movie. It's such a great and powerful tool for reaching the lost.

Based on what I've seen on television news, I think that my home is missing a roof.

I don't think it will be super quick.

We're not worried about the Mississippi River levee. Is it a concern? Yes, it is a concern, but it is not a top concern.

Metropolitan New Orleans can take about 6 inches of rain. Though a concern, it's not our main concern. . . . Storm surge is the real issue because it stresses the levee repairs and some areas that we haven't had time to assess and repair.

We were given enough money for Category 3 prevention.

We are pumping out nine billion gallons a day.

A little bit of rain or a little bit of wind, and it should hold up fine. If we get a real heavy storm, if we get another Rita, that definitely will raise everybody's level of concern.

It's miraculous that things have held up so well.

Eventually we are going to have a pooling effect, with lower lying areas retaining water, so then we will go in with smaller pumps and lay long lines of pipes to get it dry,

They want it somewhere in the vicinity, as opposed to being in the middle of a cornfield and not available to them, ... For many companies, they're looking at accessibility both for their workers and for raw materials coming in and finished materials going out.

The last thing we want is for these dollars (for free tutoring) to go unused.

I guess you live with it so much that you're never really used to it because you have to be prepared for it.

In the Gulf, Katrina was a Category 5 storm, and the surge was still Category 5 when it hit the ground. It's the surge -- the pressure of water against those levee walls -- that's the most important factor, not the winds.
