You're in a phenomenon ... it's sort of like a hurricane, you're not going to stop it with what the (existing) resources are.

We will not wait for the winds to stop blowing, we won't wait for the sky to turn blue.

Even if you have insurance, you should apply by Jan. 5 if your home or business suffered damage from Hurricane Wilma.

This naturally occurring event has overtaken our ability to stop its progression.

We're not going to stop existing because it makes someone uncomfortable.

Our recommendations have not changed since I've been here — we need to get people to evacuate from storm surge, ... If you're not in that evacuation zone, the safest place for you may be in your home.
