but these winds continue to pickup. we've been expecting to see the storm surge. occasionally we'll come outside and check to see if the storm surge has risen, but we haven't seen it. we were expecting it 11:00, 11:30 tonight. but so far that storm surge is still around the same level. so we're not sure when that storm surge is going to happen that was very interesting to hear bill talking about that a little bit ago. but if this continues, we're talking about 24 to 48 hours of us under this constant barrage of wind, constant barrage of rain, and right now it's so dark outside we don't know what it looks like. but we do understand that there are other areas in this vicinity that have been flooded. brian? >> all right, gadi schwartz, i'm liking that stairwell. it's good for you and your crew for a safe alternative as long as you can. thank you for that. bill, you lived and worked down here. i heard you say your old tv station --
