(Woman) “This is worse than Sandy.”
The President visited one of the nearly destroyed neighborhoods here in the Baton Rouge metro, where a 100,000 people have put in paperwork for emergency aid:
(President Obama) “As of today, federal support has reached $127 million, that’s for help like temporary rental assistance, essential home repairs and flood insurance payments.”
And the President asks Congress to act after they return from their summer break.
