Randy Harl, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Clearly, the entire region is recovering from the passage of a very disruptive storm. As you know from media reports, the Houston area is recovering its basic services as quickly as possible, but full recovery is expected to take up to several weeks. Our people have met the challenges well and we are open for business and responding to both employee and customer needs. Our priority is the safe and efficient return to normal operations. We wish the best to all whose lives and routines have been interrupted by this storm."
