After the Hurricanes: FLORIDA EXECS SAY: WE'RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS

We feel blessed that we didn't sustain any more damage than we did,” said W. Paul Catoe, president/CEO of the Tampa Bay Convention & Visitors Bureau, who was a meteorologist at WFLA-TV, Tampa Bay's NBC affiliate, and its general manager before moving to the hospitality business. “We also realize that this is completely an anomaly. Last time this happened was over 100 years ago, and it's probably not going to happen [again] for another hundred.”
