I have to admit I wonder why you respect me but not some of the other Faces, but you can do that next week when we're - hopefully - back to our usual balmy October weather.

So I suppose I'll just point out that there's no way to be prepared for every possibility, and the only way to respond to every possibility when it occurs is to be flexible. That's what I tried to do with the Clubs. We always maintain an emergency surplus of supplies, and I'm proud that my people responded quickly and efficiently. We had people going out to check houses and bring people to safety as soon as it was safe to do so.

[Beyond that, there was really little they could do. And the same was true even if the Deck regularly got blizzards.]
