37. Here's about the only thing I can find about it-on a CNN transcript
Now, clearly, the devastation here is matched up and down the Gulf Coast. And that's what we're hearing that is so astonishing about this storm, versus Camille, which was a bit more focused, more laser- like and more intense in its destruction.

This was, like people are saying, a wall of water. This is the Mississippi -- Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama coast tsunami. And it's just hard to believe the devastation.
