The Lake Livingston Dam discharges rainfall from Hurricane Rita into the Trinity river, flooding areas downstream in Texas September 25, 2005. U.S. President George W. Bush said on Sunday that Congress ought to consider giving the U.S. military the lead role in responding to natural disasters, as he heard one general describe the Hurricane Katrina rescue effort as a "train wreck."
