Archive Description | Oral History - Dorothy Lynne McGee McGee�s interview was part of an exhibit at the Fort Bend County Museum entitled Tropical Impressions relating to experiences during a hurricane. Dorothy�s first experience of a hurricane was in 2005 with Hurricane Rita. She and her children drove from Richmond to Cleveland, TX, through traffic gridlock to stay with her in-laws. Due to what they thought was a mandatory evacuation in Sugar Land, Dorothy�s sister, along with her grandmother, fled to Huntsville. Dorothy�s grandmother suffered a heart attack and died on the way. Dorothy�s second experience was much calmer when Hurricane Ike struck in 2008. She and her family sheltered at their home and prepared the best way possible. |
