| 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. |
