Its really an exponential effect of damage between the amount of rain we are seeing, the amount of storm surge we are seeing and the duration of it that we are seeing. It is easy in the first few hours after they pass where you say we dont see that much destruction. But it will take days to survey what happened. And there are areas we cant get to. We drove around a little bit today and we saw marinas decimated. That means peoples livelihoods taken away in addition to the homes most likely taken away. The Boat Captains are out here and they wont be able to make a dive living for a long time. Tucker it takes a long time to know what happened. Leland vittert, thank you. Move now to Rick Leventhal who is live for us tonight in wilmington, North Carolina. Rick . Rick we moved from
wrightsville beach. Two of the four fatalities reported so far was a mother and her infant who were killed by a falling tree on their house. Well, there are trees all over this town. And this state that are coming

tides, but also the surge of water that s still that s going to take a long time to drain away from tampa bay and the greater eastern gulf of mexico. are you worried that this could potentially impact any of your oil supply if there s damage, per se, to your distribution platforms. well, you know, we prepare for the worst and hope for the best. that s out of your control. if there is tides that would we would have seen at the levels that were being called for yesterday that, unfortunately, have hit on the big bend coast, might have been a different story. we feel good. the tanks have containment barriers that are permanent around all of those assets. and we think we re going to be fine. again, some of it is out of our control. all right. paul anderson, he s the ceo of the port of tampa. it s about to rain. i think another feeder band is going to come in. i appreciate your time. thank you for joining us. i think it s important for you
