florida being ready to go and we have done that and, look, in florida, you just have to do. this this is something we put a lot of time and effort into throughout the course of each year knowing that there is going to be time where you are going to have to activate it. now, we had a major one last year. one of the most expensive on record. we were honing not to have any this year. maybe we would get off lucky but that just that wasn t in the cards. so you deal with it. but that s been our focus getting all this stuff ramped up. i think the counties things happen over the next few days that require support and we want to be there to support folks. we will be back with doing more briefings, as soon as the storm passes i think we will end up trying to get on the road and figure out where the damage, the worst damage is, and get down there and see what we can do to be able to help those folks. thanks.
