Thanks, Brandon. Good morning, and thank you all for joining us today. I'd like to begin the call by acknowledging that our employees and our customers recently endured some of the coldest and most extreme weather ever seen in our service areas. Due to the intensity and the duration of this winter storm, we experienced unforeseeable and unprecedented circumstances in our Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas jurisdictions. We saw the coldest day recorded in over a century in Oklahoma City. Some of our largest cities experienced rolling electric brownouts and countless water main breaks. In Texas, Grocery store shelves were bare and long lines formed at gas stations. For seven long days, our employees worked through these adverse conditions, some experiencing their own personal challenges, and collectively, with our customers' help, we kept the gas flowing to meet the most basic needs of our customers, keeping them warm. I'd like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for our employees' teamwork, resiliency, and responsiveness as we dealt with this historic winter storm. On today's call, we will cover some of the challenges that we faced and how we're managing the recovery and impact to our customers. We will also discuss our 2020 results and 2021 guidance. You will hear how our culture and our core values led us through this recent event. So Sid, I'll turn the call over to you.
