This morning. Mike is keeping an eye on that commute for you. Meteorologist kari hall is tracking the weather. Yesterday, kari, the weather was nice. I did not work out, but i did take a walk outside to a restaurant. Oh, nice. We are doing whatever we can to take in our nice weather, enjoying a little bit more time outside.

So you can imagine that was a lot of people that were trying to get to Higher Ground all at one time before it was called off about two hoaftethe quake. As far as any injuries or damage from that quake, we have not heard of any yet but we are talking about some remote areas so were going to continue to follow that for you. Back to you. Len.
