Excerpt from | Oral History Interview with Renee Lee, December 19, 1999. Interview K-0284. Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007) |
Renee Lee describes photographs of flood damage. She describes extensive damage: "looks like to me someone just backed up a dump truck of mud and had a party." The loss of most of her property was particularly acute because she owned it all. Her frustration hints at the flood's assault on self-sufficiency.
