We were getting a little nervous in February. It would have been grim if the storms didn't come back this year. But we've had a great winter.

Dave Powell

We were in dire need of moisture because some of the plants were bone dry. We're still evaluating what the storms meant to the crops because we had reports that pea-size hail fell later in the morning.

The law enforcement officers in New Orleans and other areas started working when Hurricane Katrina was still out in the Gulf of Mexico. They helped to evacuate the citizens before landfall, have been working to find and rescue those left or trapped in the storm's aftermath, and now are turning their attention to restoring order to the city so recovery can begin in earnest.

Chuck Canterbury

It'd be like having dust storms in Arizona immediately affecting the atmosphere in Brazil.

Rich Zurek

With three negative reports in a row, it's ugly. What we are seeing is two things: it is the storms and a pre-existing condition that came with the end of auto discounting. Part suppliers and their raw materials suppliers benefited from auto sales incentives.

Chris Low

This ranks up there with one of the worst storms in quite some time. It's possibly the worst in 100 years. It's definitely the worst in the last 15 years.

Jim Harrison

We'd still be a host county. But I think what's happening now with the magnitude of the storms we're looking at is we're going to see a lot deeper intrusion by these storms when they get over Polk County or get over Central Florida.

Judith Curry

I meditate and pray all the time. The faith and respect that I have in the power of God in my life is what I've used to keep myself grounded,, and it has allowed me to move away from the storms that were in my life. I'm still a work in progress, but I know that as long as I stay close to God I'll be all right.

Halle Berry

It's warmer than normal because of an off-shore flow. The high pressure is keeping storms out of the area.

Mike Getz

The storms really threw a kink into our growing operations, especially around Immokalee. Some of the yield dropped by 80 percent.

Bob Spencer

These storms are pretty big and broad sometimes, so you take no chances. This is standard operating procedure when storms like Rita appear.

Mickey Driver

For awhile after the storms it got in pretty bad shape. Hopefully another storm won't hit and undo all their work.

Tom Myers

The temperature of the gulf, which I believe is 1 or 2 degrees higher than normal, clearly has been a factor for the power of these hurricanes, and it seems to be spurring discussion about what we need to do to address sea-level rise, coastal storms and a future that could be the result of global warming.

Michael Mccabe

The truth is, you look at what happened in these 2004 storms, and evacuation was not as good as anyone would like it to be. It's just a matter of time when a storm like Katrina hits Florida and we have a substantial loss of life.

Jay Baker

They're all strong storms bringing significant rains and snow at the higher elevations, maybe a couple of feet.

Harry Stockman

[There has been no overall increase in the number of tropical storms over the past three decades, but] Category 4 and 5 hurricanes are making up a larger share of the total number of hurricanes, ... made up about 20 percent of all hurricanes in the 1970s, but over the last decade they account for about 35 percent of these storms.

Judith Curry

The scope of this is just so huge. If you took New Orleans out of the equation, Mississippi and Alabama would be a bigger job than we tackled in all four of the storms that hit Florida last year.

Cathy Henry

The front is in our area and will move slowly through until it's off the coast at 1 a.m. We could see strong storms at any time.

Frank Billingsley

The best way to put it is that storms are lasting longer at high intensity than they were 30 years ago.

Kerry Emanuel

Gerry Bell

Given the circumstances and given the experience CL&P has had in dealing with storms, I don't think they did as well as everyone expected. He's the chairman of the committee. I can't force a hearing, but I hope others request a hearing. Even if the utility company performed the way it should have, the public should be informed about how.

Sen Judith Freedman

While most of us are breathing a sigh of relief I want to remind residents that hurricane season does not end until Nov. 30, ... We have been extremely fortunate this time around, but this is an active hurricane season and more named storms are likely.

Jonathan Allen

I hear we should get more storms, but clearly, they're fast-moving.

John Packer

If you widen a beach, then yes, you will reduce impact from certain storms. But take a big hurricane, something like Katrina, and there's no artificial beach we know of that would've prevented that kind of destruction. That did nothing.

Andy Coburn

Florida is amazingly resilient compared to other destinations. There is no state, and possibly no country, that is better equipped to deal with these storms.

Bud Nocera

We'll have some storms here and there, but we expect above normal temperatures, below normal precipitation right up until we get our summer thunderstorm season.

Charlie Liles

A series of storms of this magnitude obviously presents extraordinary challenges. Despite our best efforts, a small number of disputes will occur.

Susan Hood

The Pacific seems to be more active than you would see in a normal year. One low-pressure center after another is making its way across the Pacific. These are really intense storms.

John Lindsey

Previous research has shown that every spring there are massive dust storms in Asia that transport soil eastward to Japan and across the Pacific to the United States. Now we've found that sulfate and organic aerosols are also present, and in roughly the same amounts.

Thomas Cahill

I have not heard of any injuries. Some of the areas these storms passed through are pretty remote.

Tim Marshall

We've never experienced the amount of damage to the rig fleet we've experienced from these two storms.

Tom Marsh

We also know these disturbances occur most often between noon and dusk, and between mid to high latitudes, due to the global structure of the electric and magnetic fields during space storms. Ground and space based, and in situ measurements are allowing scientists to understand the ionosphere-thermosphere-magnetosphere as a coupled system.

Anthea Coster

We sometimes get used to tracking the Cape Verde storms that come all the way across the Atlantic. But some storms seem to come up out of nowhere.

Jim Lushine

We have to make sure that one or two storms are not going to wipe out the company.

Joe Mccormick

It has been known for a long time that New Orleans was not adequately protected from the worst storms.

Paul Kemp

It came to me during the storms in July, while I was watching these big breakers crashing on the beach, the image of a big horse raking at the coast.

Andy Scott

We love to go chase storms.

Ron Glass

Nothing is more beautiful than the love that has weathered the storms of life. The love of the young for the young, that is the beginning of life. But the love of the old for the old, that is the beginning of things longer.

Jerome K. Jerome

Retailers are getting better and better at managing shipments, but any screw-up, and you lose the customer forever. However, I heard a lot fewer consumer horror stories this year. I think we got a little lucky this year; there were no major weather storms that played with logistics.

Larry Freed

It reminds us how reliant we are on imports, and with the geopolitical climate and tropical storms, we could not afford to be down for any extended period of time to meet demand.

Phil Flynn

Purchasing flood insurance or renewing an existing policy is one of the first steps Mississippi residents can take to prepare for future storms.

Nick Russo

Stock investors have concluded that the economy was in good shape before Hurricane's Katrina and Rita, and that it has come through the storms in reasonably good shape, with the exception of oil.

It's going to be above average. The wind shear is pretty low and the Atlantic is pretty warm, so it will be an active month. You will get a couple of storms before the season is over.

Philip Klotzbach

Thousands of people have been lost, and [people] continue to be lost today in heavy storms. Yet our numbers are down. So the beneficial change has just been enormous.

In the normal pattern of things, those storms, those pieces of energy in that storm track will move out very quickly, and when they do they'll pull away.

Nezette Rydell

You had a bunch of people (in the storm's path) say, 'OK, it's starting to weaken. Don't worry about it,' .

Joe Bastardi

One in particular was called 'Queen of the Waves' and this was a hymn traditionally sung by French fishermen during storms.

Sister Pauline Troncale

The state agrees with Storms that his sentence may be impacted by the Ohio Supreme Court's decision in State v. Foster. The state has no objection to having Storms returned to the trial court for re-sentencing.

Patrick Lang

Because of the storms we've had the last couple of years, there are many properties where we're finding the start of a new nest, or seeing an old nest revived.

Chuck Underwood

That's not physically consistent with more intense storms, there's something fishy in that result.

Chris Landsea

With all these storms, we've really been beaten up lately. The beaches all need to be rejuvenated, and Mother Nature cannot do it on its own. We need sand.

Darrel Jones

And for the season it was winter, and they that know the winters of that country know them to be sharp and violent, and subject to cruel and fierce storms.

William Bradford

Usually we'll see lake effect snows when we get cold winter storms.

Brian Brong

We can explain it after the fact, but we can't forecast that very well, where the storms are going to form.

Chris Landsea

Depending on cloud cover, we can have frost or light freeze tonight. The storms this weekend should generally bring about a quarter of an inch.

Michael Bingham

If the sun comes out in the afternoon, it's going to destabilize the atmosphere and chances are the storms will get stronger.

Michael Mcauliffe

Good luck has its storms.

George Lucas

We would ultimately like to have a warning system throughout the solar system so we could know when these storms will occur.

Alex Young

This was definitely one of the bigger storms of the year in terms of total snowfall.

Bryan Mroczka

What do you want to be a sailor for? There are greater storms in politics than you will ever find at sea. Piracy, broadsides, blood on the decks. You will find them all in politics.

David Lloyd George

It's been like this pretty much all year, ... I don't think anyone on the Gulf Coast could have expected a year like this. There have constantly been things going on, with the storms and then the red tide, keeping us from coming out.

Chris Coffey

As soon as they start predicting a storm, people call and it seems that these storms are coming one after the other.

Peter Evans

We expect to see significant damage to residential and commercial properties near and to the east of Rita's track. Fortunately, the heavy commercial and industrial areas of Port Arthur and Beaumont — with their numerous refineries — were to the left of the storm's track, where wind speeds are lower, so we do not expect to see significant structural damage to the refineries.

Jayanta Guin

A one-time, four-inch rain will not even come close to getting us out of the quandary we are in. It will take numerous storms.

Matt Brockman

We have had a number of times when [storms] turned out not to be significant. But we can't roll the dice when it comes to getting 2 million people to and from work every day. We expect this one to be heavier and a more significant storm.

Joe Orlando

I can't see the political storms aligning to allow that, ... I wish them well, but the view from the man on the street is, 'Why rebuild something if it's just going to flood again? Why not let it return to nature?'

Lawrence Powell

It's all about how the storms stack up. We have heavy snow years and light snow years. It's not indicative of any trend.

Bob Higgins

The storms are coming through and in places, it rains like crazy -- and in others, you don't get any. So we're able to get back into the fields in places.

Vic Jaro

There have been one or two of these storms a century. If we were to get another one there could be $100 billion of damage, the same level as Katrina.

Mel Goldstein

It's a very rugged country, and the weather can turn rapidly. Sometimes you can see the storms coming, and sometimes you can't.

Alan Alexander

Times of general calamity and confusion create great minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace, and the brightest thunderbolt is elicited from the darkest storms.

Charles Caleb Colton

Longer days mean more hours of sunshine. Those hours infuse the atmosphere with more energy, which, in turn, can fuel strong storms.

Mary Knapp

We had storms come through and we had 25 mile per hour winds. I went down to the lower lake and with that wind and the chop on the water, I couldn't see anything.

Boyd Duckett

I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.

Louisa May Alcott

If we get up into that league, we'll have issues larger than naming these storms. The new phrase will be hurricane fatigue. Let's coin that right now.

Frank Lepore

Even before the storms, these old facilities were on the ropes.

Donald R. Smithburg

Last year, we just got brushed by two tropical storms [what was left of Frances and Jeanne], and we had people lose power from six to 10 days.

Larry Gispert

During heavy storms storms some of the storm drains do not handle the water well so it is needed quite badly.

Bob Martin

A lot of it is just our fundamental understanding of these storms. If we had a better understating of how these storms work, how they intensify, we'd be able to make better computer forecasts.

Jeff Masters

These last couple of storms have done incredible things for Midway (Valley). We've gone from an absolute almost drought to fishing it right out of the fire.

Randy Julander

I think there is going to be a lot more because of the storms. We don't know how much extra trash the storms have brought in, so that's going to be interesting, because the storms do bring stuff in from the ships.

Linda Wagner

I think when we have storms people will go slower but I think some of these crashes were just inexperienced drivers.

Rocky Gonzalez

It's a little bit of a surprise, winter storms have been warmer than normal, and the snow line has been at higher elevations than average.

Maury Roos

Down in the southwest, it's been looking pretty dry there until recently. They've had some storms, but that's going to add to the fuel.

Jim Springer

They don't need to be down there, ... Every time one of these storms gets close, they have to put plywood on the windows and be prepared to leave.

Phyllis Cole

Luxury! more perilous to youth than storms or quicksand, poverty or chains.

Hannah More

We need to get through one more hurricane season and winter of Nor' Easters. A lot of our beaches are in poor shape. A series of powerful storms in the 1990s have eroded large sections of sand and dunes. One more major hit and we could be in big trouble. There are thousands of lives, homes, businesses and public property at stake here. They are at clear risk.

Jim Saxton

Because they could not determine when they were going to be clear to land, it made no sense to continue circling the airport with storms in the area. It wasn't an issue of the fuel being out or low.

Anthony Black

I wish you sunshine on your path and storms to season your journey. I wish you peace in the world in which you live... More I cannot wish you except perhaps love to make all the rest worthwhile.

Robert A. Ward

There aren't going to be major storms, but we should get light rain from Sunday night through Wednesday.

Steve Anderson

In October 2005, we had the greatest rain event in 50 years. There was never that much rain in one day or one month. The thing about that, there was no wind with those storms. It was a stalled system that caused rain through the entire Northeast.

Victor Cassella

We certainly can't stand another storm, ... That's why people are watching the storms out there now.

Tom Bentz

As destructive as past storms have been, they didn't leave an imprint on the U.S. business cycle.

Bruce Kasman

This year is currently the second warmest on record, and could end up being the warmest once all the figures are in. It has certainly been exceptional in the intensity of its storms.

Michel Jarraud

This is the worst storm we've had in a long, long time, ... I would say this is one of the two or three worst storms I've seen in 30-40 years.

Jim Hunt

North Carolina is particularly prone to weather-related emergencies -- from floods to hurricanes to ice storms.

Kathy Higgins

The storm's movement was a lot quicker than some of the local folks anticipated.

Tom Hegele

We came out of the weekend storms pretty well. We had some road closures, but our crews handled it well and now our major concern is getting sand and salt on the icy roads.

Scott Magruder

There's always risk and uncertainty when you're dealing with Mother Nature. She's given us a couple of storms that have put us in the situation that we're in now.

Brayton Willis

There is concern that there could be more lightning with the storms as they progress over the next couple of days. But hopefully we will have enough rain to bring some relief and some extinguishment to some of these major fires.

Graham Fountain

What people don't understand is that the market for development on the beach will never go away and even if that front row of houses is lost due to erosion or storms, the row behind it will act as a new frontline or a new row will always be built. The demand for more houses will never cease.

Andy Coburn

They tend to form over the Bahamas or in the Caribbean and they can be here in 24 or 48 hours because they're so close to us. They're typical of early season storms, June, or October, in the late season.

Jim Lushine

With its rankings, the scale will also give a better perspective on how these major storms affected populations in the Northeast.

Louis Uccellini

Once storms get into the Gulf of Mexico, I'm aware of only one storm on record that dissipated. It has almost nowhere to go except land somewhere.

James Franklin

If we hadn't been watching TV and known that the storms were in the area, we probably, until they hit, wouldn't have known anything.

Barbara Egerton

This assistance will go a long way toward helping the state and local governments recover from the storms. Our continuing commitment is not only to help meet the recovery needs of devastated families and businesses, but to ensure that the vital community services they depend on are restored as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Tom Costello

Our problem with coastal storms does not end with the hurricane season.

Lynette Miller

It's one of those storms that keeps giving.

Larry Leopardi

He's weathered a lot of storms.

Ray Sims

There is the potential for additional tropical storms and hurricanes to form this season, but it's too early to know exactly where they will develop or if they will affect land.

Scott Kiser

Hail is dirt particles that water forms on and freezes. The ionic pressure from the cannons keeps it from forming when we've got storms. They go off, and we don't have hail. We've had hail out on the highway in front of the plant, but not at the plant.

David A. Boyer

That shows just how big those storms were, and how dry February was.

Ron Abramovich

We have earthquakes, we have tornadoes, we have floods, we have windstorms and we definitely have winter storms.

Kathy Davis

Last year was an anomaly as far as the number of storms. As far as intensity and an above-average number, there's no reason to believe that will not happen again.

Nate Mccollum

We all face storms in life, whether it is a storm like Katrina, a storm in a marriage, or a storm in our finances.

Franklin Graham

Both storms are going to add up to quite an amount of rainfall, some of the heaviest rains we have seen so far this season.

Rick Canepa

Unfortunately, these kinds of storms not only bring out the best in people but also the worst in people. The people down there in New Orleans are going to be depressed, and they are going to be easy prey for a lot of these scoundrels.

Jerry Howard

After the storms, we kept asking ourselves, 'Why are we rebuilding these homes the same way?' .

Leslie Chapman

Despite several employee evacuations from the Gulf of Mexico last year due to the storms, as well as the massive effort that followed to restore operations, our company turned in its safest work year ever in 2005.

Dave O'reilly

You're flying in the sky, gathering clouds to make storms. You have to play it slowly. It's very beautiful and very original.

Carolyn Cohagan

The heavy commercial and industrial areas of Port Arthur and Beaumont -- with their numerous refineries -- were to the left of the storm's track, where wind speeds are lower, so we do not expect to see significant structural damage to the refineries.

Jayanta Guin

If the storm direction has not changed, I see no reason why people would get panicky about this. We've seen pre-storm selling in the last couple of storms, and there is no sign of demand coming in at the moment.

Rob Laughlin

What you need is not just one storm. You need a number of storms occurring over a month or two to really put a big dent in the fire season.

Rick Ochoa

We'll have a bit of a break here, we're not expecting any storms of the magnitude we saw over the holiday weekend.

Rick Canepa

We are very much prone to flooding, and these kinds of storms carry a lot of moisture.

Bob Renard

We've weathered a lot of storms.

Mike Bender

What we have here is a prediction that the cycle is going to be very active, and what we need and what we're of course working on is to be able to predict individual storms with a couple days or hours in advance so the grids can take the action.

Richard Behnke

We can't predict tornadoes until they happen, but we're looking for strong storms with hail and damaging winds (today). It should be an interesting day.

Ray Visneski

Clearly, the extreme events that we're now experiencing in California and Florida, and in Georgia and Alabama, and the ice storms in Maine and New Hampshire, are going to have an impact on our understanding that our climate system is becoming unstable.

Paul Epstein

Every winter, we know the blood supply is going to drop. But this winter, it's been severely bad because of the storms throughout the U.S., and the flooding, and also in some regions the flu season has been a lot higher.

James Peters

[Living near the Gulf Coast in Ocean Springs, Miss. Dorothy and her family was used to storms.] It happens quite often, ... usually within two days everything is back to normal.

Dorothy Berry

Other storms coming in north of it have been absorbing this moisture and bring it to the West Coast. That's why there has been so much precipitation in the Valley.

David Spector

Our cultural tourism industry was a $9 billion industry in the state before the storms hit. We led the nation in utilizing our culture.

Gerard Perron

The structure of coral reefs provides coastline protection from severe storms by dampening wave action.

Liane Guild

We're able to just make more trips during the day. It's the big storms that get us into overtime.

Rick Gales

But from the standpoint of having storms that produce a lot of rain, we didn't have a lot this winter.

Bill Sammler

I'm stunned that at this point they would now seek to prevent the company from recovering the monies it spent to restore power after the storms.

Michael Twomey

Based on what we have seen before, there may be individuals who will try to take advantage of people who've been victims of these storms.

Mary Clement

At this time of year, the northwest Caribbean is notorious for having strong storms because of that warm pool.

Nick Shay

We are at that time of year where we have surprises with the strengthening of storms.

Ben Nelson

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

While we continue to assess the damage from Katrina, the threat to production of new storms is attracting everybody's attention and could drive prices right back up.

Gerard Burg

They are hard to get because not only were there four major hurricanes last year, but also winter storms this year caused great demand across the country. Manufacturers are producing them as fast as possible.

Chris Ahearn

The increased intensity of these kinds of extreme storms is very likely to be due to global warming.

John Lawton

Hurricanes became a media obsession in the mid-'90s, when there were two consecutive above-average years for Atlantic storms.

Gregg Easterbrook

We've got to get the dangerous trees, the dangling limbs left from Hurricane Katrina removed. But I am afraid spring storms will catch us before that happens.

Terry Steed

As the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina become more apparent with each day, many at [UR] have focused on how we can help the storm's survivors and academic institutions along the Gulf Coast, ... This tragedy continues to unfold, but I am heartened by the warm and caring response from so many in our campus community.

Joel Seligman

We are certainly expecting that for the next 20 years or so we will be in a cycle of more frequent and intense storms. There's going to have to be an adjustment in the industry.

Robert Hartwig

We must always remember with gratitude and admiration the first sailors who steered their vessels through storms and mists, and increased our knowledge of the lands of ice in the South.

Roald Amundsen

Even storms that are no longer hurricanes can give just as much rain as a hurricane.

Mike Powell

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
