We thought it was critical to continue our restoration efforts. We really needed to be able to do something that would avoid severe rate shock. That's what we're trying to do.

If you have wind, rain or flood damage to your home or business, we are not going to energize transformer to those buildings even though we may have the grid up and running there.

I feel pretty comfortable that we'll get there.

I feel confident that a part of the central business district will be lit up tonight and the rest tomorrow. As the city drains, we're going to get fixing.

We were expecting the worst and I think it's meeting those expectations for us at this point.

I think we have a good chance of seeing some of that money. That would ameliorate the rate shock that could come from this.

It's a timing issue for us as much as anything. We just needed a cash infusion to pay our bills immediately. We intend to pay everybody.

We thought after a lot of deliberations that this was the way to go.

Were assuming that people want to come back to something with some value.
