For as you mentioned 6,000 people or so, Long Island Sound took on brutal winds and that caused a lot of the Power Outages here in rhode island. About 185,000 customers of National Grid without power. So about almost 40 of their customer base. Thats a lot of folks, unfortunately. And its going to be a long time, perhaps, before a lot of them get their power back on because of all this snow out here. Now, this is stuff piled up by snow crews, as plows coming through trying to keep portions of downtown open here. Fortunately, theres not a lot of traffic. Thats a good thing. They got to keep the roads open because these are arteries to trauma centers. Hopefully, we wont have muched me for that today. But obviously, theyre trying to get everything out of the way for power crews to assess the situation. One thing we can talk about, the fact that this snow will stop falling, hopefully, within the next hour or so so the crews can start working in earnest today to get the power restored. Massa
