Walter Gillis Peacock, director of the Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center at Texas A&M, recently shared details of his personal encounter with Hurricane Andrew in 1992 with the Houston Chronicle.
"I was (in Miami) and had to share a household with four other families for nearly six months, and right after the storm, there was at least three or four days of zilch happening," he told Chronicle reporter Bradly Olson in a Sept. 19 story about the Houston area’s recovery from Hurricane Ike. "But especially compared to Katrina, Lord have mercy, it's been a good bit better."
Peacock, who also servers as interim executive associate dean for the college, said emergency responders and elected leaders in the Houston area managed the crisis and avoided major loss of life.
