It's kind of starting off early, and we hope it's not going to go all year.

We do have a lot of limbs hanging on trees, a lot of trees lodged or against other trees that haven't fallen. A storm like this could cause them to fall, which could cause some major problems.

Working together with other agencies, you've got to strengthen those relationships. It can't be done in a vacuum. If everyone takes their part and really works to do it, it's going to make a lot better response in the long run.

I hope they'll be back. I really do. I want them back. But we have to see a lot of things. One is will there be any effect on us by no longer being the race after the Indy 500.

I still hope for lots of sunshine before and during the tournament, but we now have the equipment to deal with rain.

The game didn't end either of our seasons. We've been in a lot of close games, so I hope we build on this.
