son Tyree Scott after loading what they could salvage onto a flatbed truck
after leaving their home, which flooded in a storm surge following
Hurricane Rita, in Delcambre, Louisiana, about 30 miles (48 kms)
south of Lafayette September 25, 2005. U.S. President George W. Bush said
on Sunday that Congress ought to consider giving the U.S. military the
lead role in responding to natural disasters, as he heard one general
describe the Hurricane Katrina rescue effort as a "train wreck."
