We went down there as they were winding down from Hurricane Katrina, and the day we got there, they were gearing right back up for Rita. That place was really hopping. |
We were looking at 2,500 square feet in a basic metal building there, and this is 10,000 square feet in a building that was designed as a hardened structure. There's no way a tornado could ever take this place out because of the design and location. |
We'll protect our own citizens first; but, if we can offer help anywhere else, we're ready to do it. There's always the possibility for severe weather when a storm that big gets that close to us, but we know for a fact that it's going to cause damage down in Texas. |
We're simulating a real-life disaster to identify the types of situations we could potentially face. |
We're waiting to see if we get a call. We don't see any specific threats locally, but we're ready to help in other areas if we're needed. |
What we're having a problem with is, where was the three-foot figure derived from? |
