Steve Eddy
“I've never studied it out, but it's not hard to realize that more numerous tornadoes seem to occur in that stretch. There's a history of intense tornado activity through that area.”

Roger Lehman
“I think our main threat today might be some hail, but more damaging winds, not as many tornadoes.”
“The potential for damage by this storm is significant, and the risk of flooding and tornadoes exists after the hurricane has begun to dissipate. ... Texas has learned from Louisiana's example. No one wants to repeat those mistakes.”
David McEntire
“It's been fairly widespread as far as tornado warnings in several counties, but the extent of damage is not nearly what we had in and around Evansville.”
