Renee Lee: You're not going to believe this, but I've had probably about fifty people or more ask me, do I intend to move back. I respond, "I want to. Yes. I do want to move back." They even ask me, "Do you want to move back to the same spot?" I respond, ""Yes, in a way." You know, as long as I can get - to me that's home. That's my home. This is my home here. Just being around my family, you know. Someone asks me that every week. Do I want to move back to Whitestocking?
Charlie Thompson (interviewer): Are they thinking about the floodwaters, and so forth?
Renee Lee: Yes. But you know what? That water - they're saying it's a hundred year flood. Now, it may be another hundred years before it happens again. But at my age I won't be around to see it, you know. I want to go back. I really do want to go back. It's just, I don't know, something about it. That's the roots down there, you know. Those are my roots down there, and I love it. The kids love it. And it's not a bad place to live, it's just the flood came in and sort of messed things up. But who says it can't be rebuilt? It can be rebuilt.
