"I don't ever again, as governor or in my lifetime, want to see people in pain the way I did over the last few days. No one should ever have to experience that. It was not their fault, they were victims and it's up to all of us to build the resiliency, give them hope. But more than hope, give them help. And that's what we've been doing nonstop and will continue until we make sure that everyone has what they need," said the governor. The state has incurred $50 Million in damages to public property and infrastructure.
