I guess I want to start by expressing on behalf of all our citizens how heartbroken we are at the losses that have occurred here and other places that I'll be today. I can't tell you how proud and impressed I am though at both the response of state and local people, our national guard, and others, regrettably have had far too much practice I guess but from everything I've learned at the command post, everyone's being as well taken care of as possible."<br/> <br />.<br/> <br />The week's violent storms have raised fears that 2012 will be another bad year for tornadoes, following devastating losses from last year.<br/> <br />Deborah Lutterbeck, Reuters
