Several of the boys drew alligators, I think it was Jaleel that told following story. After the hurricane, they were looking down from the balcony of their home and spotted a huge gator. All the neighbors were watching and people were throwing things down off the balcony. The next day or two, Rescue Helicopters came and took Jaleel, two younger children and a pregnant woman. When they were air lifting one of the boys (also sitting at table) up, something happened with the harness and he almost fell. When they reattached the harness, he was saying blessings because “he would’ve fallen right where that big gator was and right into those big ole’ teeth, he’d had me for supper.” “I was sooo brave in the basket. But my momma, she got real scared.”
