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.

It's big, because my aspirations are to finish in the top five in points. If you do that, you get automatic entry into the Elite 100. That is what I really want to do because it is the golden nugget.

I had perfect conditions for that. The lake was calm.

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

During hurricane season our operations personnel are constantly monitoring storms in the Atlantic. The Friday before the storm hit, we were tracking the storm.

Bursts as a wave that from the clouds impends, And swell'd with tempests on the ship descends; White are the decks with foam; the winds aloud Howl o'er the masts, and sing through every shroud: Pale, trembling, tir'd, the sailors freeze with fears; And instant death on every wave appears.
