That's some of the people's only chance to get in good coverage before the storm does hit.

Greg Nelson

The salesman left and that night Storm Lake had a fire. Harold drove it to the fire.

Dennis Kessler

We've been doing a lot more aggressive work primarily due to the last storm.

Michael Donovan

We'll continue to do that as the storm passes us.

Rodney Haraga

So every storm that we have on the coast at some point or another impacts us in Robert. This time was the first time we had a personal impact because the storm actually hit Louisiana.

Lemar Marshall

The storm victims never, ever thought they would be homeless. So you never know what might be the event that catapults you into homelessness. And that's why there's this tremendous amount of sympathy for these families.

Philip Mangano

This system that is now approaching the coast unfortunately is very warm. It looks like we'll have rain above 8,000 feet, maybe up to 9,000 feet. That's not good news for the ski resorts. I'm going skiing before the storm hits, so I can at least get in one good day.

Scott Mcguire

We don't usually see this sort of strong storm in August. We're definitely in the fall (weather) pattern now.

Bob Hopkins

Had we not had these soldiers and airmen deployed and they participated in the relief efforts of a storm of this magnitude, we would have had to have outside help anyway. I don't believe there is a state in this county that could have conducted hurricane relief efforts on this scale to adequately respond without help from other states.

Tim Powell

But they do provide evidence that the oil infrastructure can bounce back pretty quickly after a really bad storm. These gasoline numbers give a cushion.

Jim Ritterbusch

So we don't have proof, but we have a pretty good idea that this particular storm might be the storm that's associated with the lightning that we're detecting.

Bill Kurth

This is a serious storm that's got the potential to do a lot of damage and put lives in jeopardy if we don't take it seriously.

Mark Sanford

You want to take it seriously, ... You don't want to do anything to put anyone in harm's way. But you also don't want to wake up and see the storm went another way and have no meet.

Dan Green

The storm came. Lives were washed away. Ancient pains resurfaced. Now it is time for a sea of change.

Tavis Smiley

Now we are talking about a very dangerous Category 4 storm. It could become the nastiest thing in the Gulf of Mexico since Camille. This is a bad storm.

Tom Sorrells

The day after the storm, everybody was telling us it would take six months to start up again.

Gary Lagrange

Citizens need to prepare to evacuate because this is a very dangerous storm, ... I realize that we have done this drill two or three times in the past few months, but we cannot take this storm lightly.

Robert Latham

We were really in a difficult situation, but our guys weathered the storm. We don't lose anything when our sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth guys come into the game. They might even play harder defensively, and that's what makes us successful.

Rich Stoner

I don't want to go through that again. If another big storm comes, I am going to lose everything again.

David Phillips

We're so early in the storm ... that the hometown companies only themselves are in the early stages of identifying where the damage is.

Jim Owen

They really believed that these veterans were going to come to Washington with rifles and armaments and create a coup, storm the White House, kill the president, take over the government.

Gerald Nicosia

Our data is telling us that updated and improved standards of practice for storm water management would enhance water quality and do a better job of handling the volume of run-off.

Robert Rosen

It's nerve-racking seeing the storm heading straight for Galveston, knowing how the city is and how much water is around it, and knowing how much damage the storm can do.

Derrick Pope

There is nowhere in Florida you're going to outrun the wind, but you are going to be safe from that deadly wall of water, ... We do not try to empty out an entire region or county. We evacuate based on storm surge.

Mike Stone

A lot of people are wanting to help but are not sure how. This storm has hit everyone's pocketbook hard. If people want to help, they can bring items, pitch in their time. This is the perfect time to find their niche with the hurricane disaster, ... And given that a lot of (schoolteachers) don't make a lot of money anyway, this is our way to help without having to spend a lot of money.

Karen Knight

We do not believe that this single data point reflects a turnaround, but more likely a one-month perfect storm. The company still has work to do in terms of reinvigorating its menu to drive more consistent traffic.

Andrew Barish

He is a very strong guy, a game guy. He is fighting for the opportunity of his life. I got hit but weathered the storm.

Zab Judah

It was like living in a third-world country. Those days after the storm, you didn't even think you were in the United States. It was horrible.

Rae Matthews

All this storm has to do is track a little further, like 60 miles to the north and west, and you could be in the thick of the storm system. Sixty miles to the south and east and you're not going to get too much.

Bernie Rayno

They're going to come at us. We know it. Everybody else knows it. They're going to come at us, they're going to play hard, they're going to play physical. Just like the two games they did here. We've got to weather the storm somewhat, and hopefully our power play unit can get one or two goals and hold on as long as we can and try and squeak out a win.

Terry Ruskowski

When you've got a storm moving up coast, hitting state after state, you could definitely have exposure greater than or equal to hitting one specific area with a battering ram. You'd have flood after flood after flood.

John Eager

We decided to wait and see what the storm does for now. The chancellor is weighing the issues about school on Monday.

Herb Vincent

Even the most destructive storm cannot weaken the heart and soul of our nation, ... America will overcome this ordeal, and we will be stronger for it.

George W Bush

All available CL&P crews have been dispatched and are being assisted by contractors and crews from our sister company, Public Service of New Hampshire. Unfortunately, this storm has caused damage along the East Coast and therefore crews from neighboring utilities are not currently available to assist with the restoration.

Mary Ingarra

We have to make our evacuation decision when a storm is off the coast of North Carolina.

Mariana Leckner

This storm was quite a bit larger, so the extent of the damaging wind field would have covered a much larger geographic area.

Marc Levitan

You couldn't necessarily say, 'That hurricane, that storm, that flood only happened because of climate change,' (but) you're starting to see a pattern of extreme weather events.

Margaret Beckett

They're going to work as long as they can on Monday. They will also secure all possible projectiles around the stadium and batten down all other construction and equipment around the stadium for the storm.

Herb Vincent

Friday, there is a storm going toward the north that could clip our area.

David Spector

They eliminate half the cleaning because you don't have storm windows to wash. Energy-wise I know what the books tell me. The books say 25 to 30 percent, but that's with everything being identical.

Steven Bennett

When the disaster is behind us, we're putting together an economic team to bring the city back and move forward. We were on a pretty good pace before the storm and now we need to get back to it and beyond.

Greg Mitchell

This storm was definitely a powerful nor'easter. In general, the Boston area has received 12 to18 inches of snow.

Charles Foley

This is a colder storm than we've seen so far this season.

Philip Gonsalves

During the height of the storm, we had more than 130 locations with trees over the roadway. Road Shop office staff were fielding an average of a call a minute.

Paul Marsh

The levee system on the American River is not going to be stressed by this particular storm.

Jeff Mccracken

We have been contacted by several member schools that already have enrolled students from Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi displaced by the storm.

John Stewart

They came out on fire, with 24 points at the ten minute mark. We weathered the storm of the first ten minutes.

Royce Chadwick

These aren't perfect people, but before they could get it together to show up for work. The storm brought a lot of stress.

Paula Holliday

I think we really found out a lot about ourselves. We understand we still haven't done anything yet. But this game was important in building momentum for the storm we're going to face.

Andrew Wilson

They knew there was a threatening storm coming in, so they went to the secure site, came back out, and the roof was gone.

Darrell Mackey

Here's to the pilot that weathered the storm.

George Canning

Today, we're seeing a more muted reaction to the storm after a difficult first half of the week.

Som Dasgupta

The storm fell on a weekend - two days long - (and) required a lot of extra hours.

Adam Liegeot

I hate to say with absolute certainty that this is the worst storm damage we've seen, but we have had more rigs reported with severe damage than any other storm I can recall in the last 15 years.

Tom Marsh

Sometimes a storm on Doppler radar will be so obvious that it's severe that you pull the trigger on it and issue a severe weather or tornado warning. But there will be some days where you look at a storm and it's kind of ambiguous. It may be severe, or it may not.

Joseph Tomaselli

The storm passed by my shop, and I had to escape from the shower of stones, tear gas and rubber bullets to save my life.

Abu Abbas

This storm, if it stays on its current track, timing and pace, it should hit Onslow County at high tide and during an astronomically high-tide cycle.

Mark Goodman

We need to make the storm reserve not biggest year of damage but average. It's too much money on top of everything else.

Mike Twomey

The storm, yes, it's slowed us down. We've kind of taken a back seat.

Larry Hamilton

The fact that we got 70 shots is amazing. That's being a little bit tight. That's what happens when you play a great team. Connecticut weathered the storm. They're a great team.

Agnus Berenato

What we think it's doing is helping to provide more energy for the storm and shifting it further south. Normally, these storms hit more toward the Pacific Northwest.

Gerald Bell

It is a significant hardening of the infrastructure. It is a recognition that - from everything the experts are saying - that the forecasts are for more intense storm seasons, (which) has made us rethink what we need to do.

Mayco Villafana

It's not only the largest, in our opinion it's the most important and most significant campaign in Louisiana due to the research we have conducted that revealed to us that people have misconceptions about Louisiana after the storm.

Angele Davis

We will stay on as long as we can during a hurricane ? we now have two generators working for the station and the tower in Lake Harbor. We know a lot of what we did came after the actual storm last year, with information like what's open, etc., and we will do that again this year.

Sean Moore

After a storm comes a calm.

Mathew Henry

It's looking pretty good. The storm has moved on to the coast, Southern California - past us.

Don Strickland

I plan to share my knowledge in reporting to help people cope with the storm. I will show them how to record their thoughts and talk about the importance of memoirs, journals and diaries.

Alice Jackson

This storm came right through this area, but today [Friday] the construction crews are outside, busy building again.

Harvey Houtkin

Once the storm goes through, we put in a call for volunteers to go into the strike zone stores to help out because people who have damage want to stay with their loved ones.

Brandon Harrison

We never got our head clear from the first storm. Right now, we're just three weeks into the apartment here, and now we've got to root ourselves up and travel down the highway again to run from another one.

Percy Williams

They came out strong and we couldn't weather the storm. We got down on ourselves and couldn't fight back.

Shannon Bolden

The market is taking a heavy reaction at the moment, but the message is actually positive for stocks. The Fed is saying generally that we continue to have reasonable economic activity, despite the storm, and that underlying inflation can be contained.

Jim Dunigan

Everyone is just kind of hiding their head under the sand, hoping the storm will pass.

Taj Khan

When you're a young couple just trying to survive anyway and then a storm comes and strips you of everything, you don't have much choice but to move on.

Byron Allen

There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.

Willa Cather

Most Seabees live here. This is their home. Frankly, the first day after the storm we had to almost hold them back because we had to get out own base squared away and make the base safe so we could use it to work from.

George Eichert

It looks like everything came through the storm very well. Obviously we have to speak with the guys who do the work when they get back. But from the standpoint of us eyeballing the stadium and the grounds around it, it's in as good a shape as can be expected.

Dan Radakovich

But we were up to our necks dealing with the storm. We did the best we could under the circumstances.

Mack Mcgehee

The market is really starting to get unhinged. The majority can be attributed to the storm, and some geopolitical concerns as well.

John Brady

One thing that we're working on is team defense. They work hard, communicate and get everybody involved. It kind of looks like a storm out there sometimes.

James Crawford

The Bay is cleaner than it was 40 years ago when raw sewage and industrial pollution were dumped directly into it. While the pollution from business and point sources is strictly regulated, storm water pollution from our cars, homes and neighborhoods is still a major problem.

Bruce Wolfe

We had been working since last year on a storm plan.

Susan Mcbride

The main storm dynamics are here.

Dan Atkin

When the storm hit, we could hear rumbling -- nothing like the train sound some people say they hear. And it hit all at once. The lights went out, and there it was, just that quick.

Keith Wells

They may be here for a while. The electricity will be out after the storm; streets will be almost impassable. So once they get here, they'll have to stay for the duration.

Ralph Lupin

We're in a period of denial about the extent to which racism still exists as a structural phenomenon. It was just so evident in this storm. Even in the language people used.

Thaddeus Mathis

You've got to buy the negativity, ... That's when you get the right price for stocks -- in the eye of the storm.

Robert Olstein

But Jesus protected me and saved me from the storm, brought me here and found me shelter, food and clothes to wear. I feel truly blessed.

Walter Woods

As soon as the storm is over, we'll go back out, assess and hope this is it for the year.

Tim Sampson

I'm worried about the storm. I'm watching TV, listening to the radio. Everything.

David Richard Jones

Before the whole storm happened, when we were in camp, we were ready for the season to start. Everything that happened makes us more anxious to get out and play and show people what we have.

Brandon Spincer

The intent of the project is to replace some sections of pipe that are collapsing and upgrade a storm drainage culvert to North Mill Pond.

Peter Rice

Make no mistake about it: Operation Desert Storm truly was a victory of good over evil, of freedom over tyranny, of peace over war.

Dan Quayle

In the regular season, we hardly faced anybody that pressed us. Valley Christian did it to us the first game of the year. I told the girls in the first quarter we had to weather that storm.

Lonnie Tvrdy

We just kept trying to weather the storm. It was a sea of red.

Ryan Appleby

Very surprised particularly being the first day of Spring, we were really didn't anticipate a storm such as this, but we're prepared.

Jeff Walters

This type of insurance covers all sorts of events and perils. A kite-flying contest, for instance, can only take place if there is wind. If there's a storm, the party can't go on.

Madelyn Flannagan

The question is always are you worried about it not being popular. I'll show you people storming out of (more mainstream films at the festival.) That's the case with all art. What we look for is an accomplishment in filmmaking.

Mike Plante

It was a storm that was felt around the world. Yet, who would dream that 87 percent of the House of Representatives and 70 percent of the Senate haven't found time to visit the site of the largest catastrophe in the history of America?

Anne Milling

We think something on the line of 3 inches over six hours would probably put 2 to 4 feet of water in the lower-lying sections of the city. ... The levees also are a concern. They would not stand any kind of significant storm surge.

Carl Strock

The potential for damage by this storm is significant, and the risk of flooding and tornadoes exists after the hurricane has begun to dissipate. ... Texas has learned from Louisiana's example. No one wants to repeat those mistakes.

David Mcentire

With Anne's leadership, the Storm won a championship in two years and we look forward to continued success with her at the helm.

Karen Bryant

The marsh is a filter system, and it buffers the effect of the flood and storm tides.

Guthrie Perry

The planning goes on all year and you learn something from every storm. It gets frustrating evacuating every time there is a hurricane warning, but, you never know, the next one may have your number on it.

Steve Huffman

Common sense tells you that the more frequent these storms are the worse off we are all going to be and certainly the worse off the barrier islands are going to be. These islands had quite a long time to recover after Hurricane Camille. Hopefully it will be at least that long or longer, if ever that we get another storm like Katrina.

Gregory Carter

If it were a Category 4 storm, the scale and scope of what we would do would be much greater. We would have more emergency response vehicles already pre-positioned the area. We would have more Red Cross kitchens identified and ready to open.

Renita Hosler

This is going to be a major rainfall event before and ahead of the storm.

Trisha Wallace

We'll probably be seeing hail claims from this storm well into the end of May and into June.

Bob Gates

We've had high temperatures, low humidity and high winds, and that causes, literally, a perfect storm.

Oklahoma Govbrad Henry

It looked like there were two storms, ... Nature's storm and a people storm that hit New Orleans.

John Rhodes

[Don't storm the sidelines, rant and rave, yell and scream at your athletes about] exerting self-control, ... It's what kids see that they learn.

Todd Brown

Hurricane Katrina had no significant effect on first quarter results, although the storm inflicted some damage to our facilities in the U.S. Gulf Coast region, ... Meanwhile, our operations have resumed in most of the affected areas except for sections of New Orleans.

Alan Graf

All of these families left before the storm to come here to be with family. Some will go back as soon as they get the OK to do so, but they simply don't know at this point.

Judy White

My parents live here now, but they were on their way to New Orleans for a funeral when the storm hit.

Marcus Trufant

The storm made it to the country with us.

Lawrence Henry

He's what you look for in a Storm Cat. He's very correct, and he's got a great body. He's a very strong-made colt, not to mention the fact that he's got a pedigree that is exceptional.

Bill Farish

We thought the eye was going to pass to the west of us, ... Just at the last moment, the storm turned to the north and the eye went right into Pensacola Bay.

John Fogg

We can build a 50-foot concrete wall around a refinery, it just costs a whole lot of money, ... That kind of storm is extremely rare. At some point, somebody said, 'This is a risk I can live with.'Ÿ.

Chris Johnson

Probably 80 percent of that is folks who were impacted by the storm. We're hoping it's a short-term bump, but it's just too early to say.

John Rogers

We appreciate everything they've done. Gary Frost has been great. Fortunately, most of our manuscript material was spared by the storm. The overall number requiring some type of repair is pretty small.

Patrick Hotard

Lunatic Wind: Surviving out the Storm of the Century.

William Price

The question becomes, well, where do you get the product to fill the pipeline? ... The system was basically running full- out before the storm to supply the market and now we've lost nearly 10 percent of the (U.S.) refining capacity.

Jay Wilson

At their most influential, debates probably move public opinion only a few percentage points. But that can be critical. This year is close to being the perfect storm for presidential debates having an effect.

David Lanoue

You get so tired (fighting the storm) that you make mistakes.

Jill Austin

If we do get that storm, it will be late Sunday night or Monday.

Chris Badger

'Tis the set of the sail that decides the goal, and not the storm of life.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

We work on our situation hitting every practice. We told our guys to stay the course and weather the storm and good things would happen.

Shawn Szakelyhidi

Death is a part of the process in storm recovery, ... We're not Houston. We can't house thousands of evacuees. We can host this staff and let them do their work.

George Grace

[The storm, called Beta, sent relentless heavy rains over the region, ripping off roofs, toppling trees and flooding neighborhoods. Heavy rain in Honduras caused four rivers to overflow and damaged crops.] We are facing serious danger from the rain, ... We are staying on alert in nearly every part of the nation.

Ricardo Maduro

The company is in storm-response mode right now.

Brian Swanson

Preventing problems -- that's the key. We usually know within 72 hours if a storm is coming. There may be a power loss and it will be hard to communicate. We try to anticipate and get the word out for the procedures: this is what's happening, this is what to do, this is when normal service will resume.

Wade Sanders

We're not finished with the expenditures for the storm. We're considering what we call polling the towns, which is when we go all night and take the snow out of the village, so that would be more expense.

Dan Ryan

The safety position is almost like the center on the offensive line. It's communication central. He's in the eye of the storm, so to speak.

Mike Tomlin

It was a very cold and windy storm.

Dan Atkin

This storm has been like a windshield wiper, ... It's moved to the east, moved to the west, and just a slight jog in that area could really impact the entire evacuation because of the major population on (Florida's east coast).

Joe Myers

Now the city's most treasured landmarks are those that existed before the storm. The city has gone from one that looked forward to one that sees its happiest times in the past.

Erik Larson

The prolonged nature of the storm could increase the threat of coastal erosion.

Eric Blake

Residents of Louisiana eastward to Florida should monitor this storm system.

Eric Blake

The story of this storm is not over yet.

Emilio Zebadua

Right now is not the time to analyze. You don't focus on rebuilding a building while it's on fire. You focus on putting the fire out, ... Right now we're in the eye of the storm and we need to help the people of southern Louisiana and Mississippi.

Elton Gallegly

When the wind speed began to go down the storm surge did not dissipate. ... There was essentially a lot more momentum in the water than there was in the wind.

Elizabeth English

The market overreacted to the storm and that attracted buyers at key technical levels.

Elliot Spar

We cannot allow it to be said by history that the difference between those who lived and those who died in this great storm and flood of 2005 was nothing more than poverty, age or skin color.

Elijah Cummings

You don't fear for your life in the middle of a storm, you can't really afford to.

Ellen Macarthur

Any time you have a storm, you have 5 million people lining up for gas at the same time.

Ellen Kennedy

This will be mostly a Southern California event. It is still a very wet storm. It is still a very dangerous storm.

Elizabeth Morse

We don't know exactly what the storm is going to look like. But we're going to keep a close watch for any spots that might be in danger.

Elaine Post

The figures did not take into account the expected increase in the number and wealth of people living in storm-prone areas; correcting for such increases, the losses are likely to be several hundred percent higher.

Elizabeth Kolbert

The real problem was I had a lot of really tough decisions to make in this perfect storm.

Elizabeth Hoffman

[Government officials say assistance for victims is a priority, and that steps have been taking to streamline the payment process. And they also say the storm will yield new jobs and opportunity.] In the recovery will come restoration and rebuilding, ... After a national disaster, there is an expanded burst of new construction activity.

Elaine Chao

It's about trying to revive our community, its artists and our museum. Like so many other museums, residences and businesses around here, we suffered some damage from the storm.

Elizabeth Feder

It has been another storming day with plenty of mergers and acquisitions activity.

Edward Menashy

This is more like what we used to get before we went dry for so many years. It's a Montana-style spring storm.

Ed Kurdy

The problem is that these institutions made it through the storm but the worst may be yet to come.

Ed Able

It's too early to assess, ... This was a bad storm. I can't begin to put a dollar amount on it.

Fred Stewart

I think we're going to go back and test the recent high of $70.85 [for crude oil], ... And it should happen well before the storm makes landfall.

Ed Silliere

That's the last thing we need is to see another refinery shut out. We have a tight situation without this storm existing and now you add to this another storm, that could cause financial devastation.

Ed Silliere

To have a storm that actually stays together from all the way west of Kansas City to just south of Chicago is highly unusual.

Ed Shimon

We need to build a little bit of a buffer knowing that the storm probably won't be exactly where we forecast it to be -- it might be a little bit on one side or another.

Ed Rappaport

This is a much bigger storm than Charley was, maybe two to three times the size. There'll be a large area of damage when this comes ashore.

Ed Rappaport

We're probably doing 60 percent as many ships as we had been before the storm.

Jared Peterson

Now your words fill the air / with a storm of black stings / And I make a small incision in my skin / to let them in / Cruel, mean, evil, you say....

Evelyn Lau

There is no question that we have weathered a storm and are now entering a relatively stable investment climate. But due to prudent funding policies, the WRS continues to be in excellent financial condition. That is good news for all of our members.

Eric Stanchfield

Fortunately, no one was hurt which is very, very good considering the size of the storm. It could have been very bad.

Ernie Murray

The storm and the flood caused a major cultural change.

Ernest Johnson

This is a big storm, and slow moving. We need to monitor it and be ready to respond.

Eric Lamoureux

Until the storm hits and we get in to look at the damage, it's hard to tell how long this could last, ... Rita is pointed right at the belly of the industry.

Eric Hamilton
