Everybody knows that all the records aren't there. So why spend money when you're not going to get a real, true, accurate accounting? |
I don't recall an early storm this bad, ... I don't think anybody predicted this kind of impact and this kind of heavy, wet frozen snow - there must be a tremendous amount of weight on those electrical lines and telephone poles, because they were just broken like toothpicks. |
I guess that the FSU exemption will be interpreted the way people want to see it, whether it is a red light or green light.
