The New Orleans Hornets are looking forward to going home after receiving reports that their training center survived both Hurricane Gustav and a reported tornado on Tuesday, according to Associated Press.

"We're happy the reports are all favorable on the practice site and look forward to resuming operations," said GM Jeff Bower. "We're happy to be moving forward with our role in the whole area."

Hurricane Gustav's presence on the Louisiana coast reminded many of Hurricane Katrina, but thankfully, the damage wasn't nearly as catastrophic.

"I think everybody had thoughts, and the thing that was helpful this time was the amount of time we all had to be prepared for whatever would come," Bower said. "We're thankful damages to the area are less than they could have been, and we hope everyone can get back on their feet easier than last time."
