This is an oral history interview with Frank Edgar McBride conducted as part of the Houston History Project. Mr. Frank E. McBride was interviewed on June 16, 2006 in Room 24, Agnes Arnold Hall, University of Houston, Houston, Texas.  Mr. McBride was one of the first television cameramen that viewed the devastation in New Orleans with the added perspective of having recently lived in that city for four years.  This interview depicts the early rescue efforts by local people and one state agency immediately after the storm, while some of his experiences suggest the advent of the overwhelming need for basic necessities including gasoline. The interview was conducted by Ernesto Valdés, Center for Public History, University of Houston where the tape is deposited in M.D. Anderson Library on the main campus of the university.
