This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right.
Thanks for being with us.
41 days till the midterms.
All eyes at this hour, though, on the great state, free state of Florida, they are getting hammered.
I have friends of mine, Southwest Florida in Naples.
They are seeing flooding at a level they've never seen before.
I've got images of people.
I mean, you cannot believe the flooding that has taken place.
Linda, I got a I got a video tape from a friend of mine and that lives in a high rise in Fort Myers.
And literally, you I saw the beginning of the flooding.
Ten minutes later.
It's five feet higher and moving fast and record winds coming in at a cat four.
And the scariest part of all of this, and by the way, we will check in with uh Senator Rubio will check in with us.
We believe the governor will join us this hour, Governor DeSantis.
Uh we'll get an update from him.
Um if anyone knows someone who didn't evacuate or is currently in an evacuation zone.
I did get this information.
Please go to Florida Disaster.org slash info.
We'll put it up on Hannity.com.
I know Marco Rubio took down his um re-election website and he's using it for recovery, and that's Marco Rubio.com.
Uh, but it's Florida Disaster, one word dot org slash info, and put in that person's name, address, number, whatever they can, so rescuers will know exactly where to go.
They have mobilized, I got to give them a lot of credit down in Florida.
They've mobilized the entire state, and they're gonna need it because the amount of landmass in the state of Florida that is going to be impacted by this is massive.
I mean, so you're looking at Southwest Florida from Naples uh all the way up through Fort Myers, all the way up through Sarasota, you know, a little south of Tampa, but Tampa's getting hammered too.
Straight that then it makes it veers a little bit north, right across the state from west to east and northward, uh, right up the I-4 corridor, uh, going right over Orlando, um, where I know a lot of people from Tampa in that area have have bunkered down and hunkered down there.
And and then it's literally gonna just slide up to the northeast portion of the state.
Uh Jacksonville will be hit very, very hard, according to Joe Bastardi, who'll join us at the the bottom of the half hour.
He'll be joining us all afternoon, as a matter of fact, it's that bad.
And then the storm is going to head straight through Georgia, all the way up the coast.
It might be it might slow down a little bit as it hits the Atlantic coming out of Ponta Vidra and Jacksonville in that area, and going into Georgia, going straight into South Carolina.
Uh Charleston seems to be a target in line for this as well.
Our South Carolina listeners, our Georgia listeners.
Uh, if if you're down in the southern areas of uh like Savannah and surrounding areas, Brunswick, places like that, you want to be pay very close attention this afternoon to what you got to do.
Um I know some people there's always a reluctance and resistance.
I understand it, I get it.
Nobody likes being told what to do.
People don't want to evacuate, it's inconvenient, it's rough.
Um, but there are going to be people that didn't evacuate.
For those 2.5 million people that did evacuate, you made the right call.
Um, even if your area didn't particularly get hit as hard as they predicted, uh, because this came in a little more south than what some of the earlier projections were.
Joe Bustardi had picked this up within the last yeah, 24, 36 hours, that it was going to be a little more south of Tampa.
He was slowly beginning to move more towards that model, and that's the model that it followed.
Um, this is not a precise science, if you will.
But again, if if you know somebody that didn't evacuate and is in an evacuation zone where they're getting hammered, if you know that person, and then and again, don't use this information.
Don't clog up the website if you don't, if it's not important.
This is to save lives.
Um, anyway, Florida Disaster.org slash info.
The state has mobilized, state of Florida's mobilized every single state agency.
Um Governor DeSantis has done it On that end, and Senator Rubio has been working with FEMA.
Well, they've all been really working together on all of it.
And on the federal government side, but there's there's gonna be a ton of damage here coming in at a Cat Four, 150 plus mile an hour winds, gusts even higher, and the storm surging is real.
Um somebody sent me videos from Naples, Florida, literally just you know, wiped out the bottom of an entire building already.
Uh Fort Myers, I could not believe the videos that I was receiving in real time and the difference in terms of uh water surging from you know one minute, ten minutes later, it's like three feet higher.
And then 10 minutes after that, it's it's six feet higher.
And and that's how real this is.
Um people have uh inform me they're really scared, they're in not fully not like a New York high rise, but in you know, maybe 12, 15 story buildings, and there's a little shake to it.
My understanding, especially building codes over the years have gotten more strict, and and they literally are are made to sustain the kind of winds that you're currently experiencing, and there is a little sway factor to all of those buildings.
I know it probably is very scary for a lot of people, you know, depending when your building was actually put up or um if it's it had to get up to code.
Um that is you know that that's factored in.
You can check with your super, you can check with other people, engineers that work in the building, people that know a little bit more about your specific situation, but that is not on unusual.
Um, and even if you didn't evacuate, you're in the building.
It's scary for sure, but anyway.
Um Sarasota County, I can tell you, according to the uh Herald Tribune, uh they their emergency services have now have have to shut down for the duration of the storm for the simple reason emergency vehicles can't respond because of flooding and other reasons, because it just isn't safe to be on the roads at this point.
Um they're urging people there to shelter in place, and when sheltering in place, you you should stay in the centermost place in your home, according to the Sarasota County Director of Communications.
You want to put as many walls between you and the exterior of your home as possible.
Uh that was stated at a midday press conference.
Um it's it's so storms of phenomena just you know, they're fascinating studies, and I I get why Joe Bastardi is just he's a weather nut.
I I mean I love the guy, he's a great, great guy.
He's the official meteorologist of the program.
I mean, he's been a storm chaser most of his life.
His dad was a meteorologist, his son's been a meteorologist.
I mean, it just runs in the the blood of their family, and and he's done this forever, and he can tell you every storm and what what happened, what the damage was, how bad it was.
Anyway, in Tampa, they had this rare phenomenon today where caused by the hurricane where all the water was sucked away from the shore of Tampa Bay.
It's called a reverse storm surge.
Um, another symptom of the impending storm at 8 a.m. this morning, the tide was receding from Tampa Bay.
Again, they call it reverse storm surge, and it's when the storm winds push water out of the bay, um, according to National Weather Service, and water near Tampa's uh McKay Bay was three feet below expected levels during low tide, which was 1030 a.m. this morning, according to preliminary data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Now, water from the Gulf Beaches have also pulled back this morning, but they're starting to rise again.
Data tracking from Clearwater Beach is showing.
And when we hit to high tide, now that that's when Tampa's gonna have their problems.
And they said the negative tide will likely continue over the next couple of hours, but sometime this afternoon, probably during this show, they're gonna see water rushing back, predicting some forecasters anywhere between six, eight feet of a storm surge.
So, you know, don't get complacent thinking, oh well, the water didn't come up here.
Um Florida Highway Patrol has closed Tampa's massive Skyway Bridge.
If you've ever visit visited Tampa, you know it.
It's you probably have driven over the massive Skyway Bridge.
It's the largest bridge in the state.
What makes it dangerous in these hurricane conditions, though, are the miles and miles of sea level causeways that uh that they have on both sides of the bridge.
Those causeways now could soon be underwater if the prediction of a sixteen-foot storm surge were to come true in some areas.
So the Florida Highway Patrol closed the Skyway Bridge in both directions.
They had to do that early this morning after winds in the area associated with the hurricane were what clocked at 50, 60 miles an hour.
The bridge will remain closed until the storm passes and the inclement weather subsides.
That means, you know, it's going to be a while till help makes it to you.
The only good news is they are ready.
I have now spoken to enough people all around the state of Florida, all the areas that are going to be impacted.
I mean, they have mobilized, and by the way, neighboring states are helping.
I got to give a lot of credit to all the neighboring states of Florida.
I mean, they're sending their electrical teams, their power teams out there.
They're sending in other rescue workers in there.
They're sending equipment in there.
They're sending supplies in there.
Um it because they, you know, it's the right thing to do.
It's really that simple.
But anyway, the Howard Franklin, other two bridges connecting Pinellas and Hillsboro counties, the Gandry Bridge and the Courtney Campbell causeway, they're being monitored by the Florida Department of Transportation and by law enforcement.
They're going to have to close bridges if it approaches a point where they're going to get covered by water.
Um, but they don't know when that might actually be.
They just have to monitor the storm.
Um, obviously a lot of airport closings uh around the country uh based on the routing of different airlines.
You just have to, if you get on a if you're getting on a plane, uh, and the plane was supposed to come out of Florida, the odds are you're not getting on that plane today.
Uh the most, you know, damaging winds.
There is a staging area.
I couldn't believe this.
I wish I could show that.
I'll show this on TV tonight.
The AP actually put it out.
It was on Drudge today, too.
The they they have a staging area with you know, all these electric company trucks, that is as far as the eye can see.
It's bigger than like two football fields.
It's so massive, all full of trucks to go in to help the people of Florida when this thing passes.
It's actually amazing.
Um, so all of this, you know, we're we're telling you by the way, the the country of Cuba is now without all power.
The power grid collapsed down in Cuba.
Uh, the damage in Puerto Rico, running out of fuel tanks thanks to Biden's war on energy.
That's a separate deal.
Uh it was a really I I mean I just couldn't believe what happened with Biden today.
I mean, he had a number of moments.
You know, he's he's out there during a White House conference on hunger and nutrition and health today, and he's speaking, and he asked, if uh is is Representative Jackie Molarski um in attendance.
I want to thank all of you here for including bipartisan elected officials like representative governor, Senator Braun, Senator Booker, Representative Jackie, are you here?
Where's Jackie?
I didn't think she wanna she was going to be here to help make this a reality.
Jackie Wilarski is dead.
She died, sadly, uh what, back in August in a car accident.
He'd forgotten.
I I I can't handle it.
I really can't.
Um, but that's your Joe Biden.
That that's that's the American president.
Anyway, um, we're gonna keep you up to speed on all of this.
Uh Governor DeSantis is checking in with us today.
Uh times are a little iffy.
We're not sure.
Marco Rubio will check in with us today.
We'll be doing a lot of time with uh Joe Bastardi, the chief meteorologist of this program.
Uh, if you're in other states on the Eastern Seaboard, you're gonna want information because it's headed your way.
Uh, but all through Central Florida, this is now gonna make its way.
It's it's just beginning from Naples all the way up through Tampa and even north of that.
Then it's going to slowly move inward from the West Coast to the East Coast and move up in a northern path, right over Orlando, straight to uh Jacksonville and areas there, then to Georgia, then to South Carolina, real risks in South Carolina and Georgia.
Take a break.
We'll come back and uh continue with all of this.
I first want to remind you about our friends at Henry Repeating Arms, family-owned business, 25-year anniversary.
I just love their products.
I mean, they literally have the single best design of any.
The craftsmanship is second to none.
And you know I'm a collector.
Well, those of you that listen to the show.
They have a broad range of firearms, rim fire, center fire, 200 miles to choose from.
But the variety of their finishes, their configurations is second to none.
They have something for everyone, whether you're an outdoorsman, whether you're a hunter, collector, you need it for home defense, uh, quality craftsmanship.
Every uh Henry, I have is accurate right out of the box.
It's affordable.
It's made in America or it's not made at all.
They have the best customer service department.
Anthony, their owner gives you his personal 100% satisfaction guarantee.
And they're 25th year, they're giving away a million dollars to great causes.
They call it guns for great causes.
It's their charitable arm.
But the bottom line is you're gonna love this company.
Henry repeating arms.
Go to their website, Henryusa.com.
You'll get a free catalog, free decals, and a list of dealers where you are.
That's Henryusa.com, free catalog decals.
List of dealers where you live, and you won't regret it.
You're gonna love Henry as I do.
We're also gonna hit some other topics today.
We'll check in with all things simple man, Bill O'Reilly.
Um, doctor and Senator Ram Paul's gonna join us.
He just did a new campaign ad and it features Riley Gaines, competitive swimmer, University of Kentucky, supporting Rand.
Um, and she was the girl that penned this op-ed for Fox News.com uh on the issue of competing against somebody born a biological man, uh male, uh the Leah Thompson case.
And anyway, she did a 30-second TV ad that is extremely powerful, and she'll join us as well.
So we will do other topics, but we expect that we will check in with the governor of the state of Florida, we'll check in with Senator Rubio from Florida.
Uh Joe Bastardi is all over this.
It looks like he uh nailed this exactly.
And this is going to be three days now of severe weather for a significant portion geographically of the state of Florida before it makes its path through Georgia, South Carolina, Charleston's likely to get hit, other portions of South Carolina will get hit.
And uh, you know, we can't predict, but it's landing as a category four hurricane.
This is the real deal.
Flooding, surging, all of that is real as well.
Is uh I will say, based on all the images that I've seen, I could not believe.
Linda, did you see the picture from the AP of It's unbelievable?
I it's like three football fields full of trucks, uh repair trucks from electric companies, not just Florida, but from around the country that have gone there and stationed there and positioned there for when this thing leaves.
Because I would imagine every single place, unless you have a generator, which I highly recommend for people.
Um, unless you have a generator, you're gonna be without power, almost guaranteed, and and they're gonna come racing in there and get people's power back up, which is critical.
All right, we'll take a quick break.
We'll get to Joe Bastardi on the other side.
We expect the governor this hour actually to be calling in.
We just were told, and much more straight ahead.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
Uh, thanks for being with us.
800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, uh in a second, we'll be joined by uh Governor Ron DeSantis.
I just saw a picture from the AP of what looks like at least three football fields full of trucks, uh ready staged to go in to get power back up.
I'm sure from Florida and other states as well, but but they're ready to go in and restore power when this is done.
I've never seen a site like that ever during a uh a hurricane like this.
This is as bad as we thought, you know, Southwest Florida.
I'm really worried about Sanibel and some of these other areas.
Uh, I've gotten images sent to me from Naples, Florida.
Fort Myers is getting hammered.
I mean, really bad.
The flooding has been out of control all the way up through Sarasota, all the way up to Tampa.
And what's what the storm, the track of the storm has it, that it's it is hitting the coast, the the west coast of Florida very, very hard.
And it will slowly make its way north, right over Orlando and Central Florida, the I 4 corridor, into the northeastern part of the state by Jacksonville, Ponta Vidra, that area, and then into Georgia and into uh South Carolina.
I have been given some information.
If you know somebody, they they evacuated two and a half million people, no easy task yesterday.
Uh, but if you know somebody that didn't evacuate, they're currently in an evacuation zone.
There is a uh website to go to.
It's FloridaDisaster.org slash info, and you can put in that person's name and address, and when they are able, they've they've mobilized every state agency right now, and they're coordinating with FEMA, and I know Governor DeSantis, Senator Rubio, everybody's working hand in hand.
Every single state employee, it's all hands on deck.
And by the way, they have a Florida Disaster Fund.org is you know, donations go to a volunteer Florida 501c3 tax exempt charity.
Um people are going to need help.
There's there's a lot of destruction.
Uh, as a matter of fact, Governor Ron DeSantis is uh on our newsmaker line now.
Governor, thanks for being with us.
I'm so sorry.
It looks to me like geographically, at least half, if not two-thirds of your state geographically are going to be impacted by this.
Well, Sean, you know, you when you look at storms, and you've covered a lot of these.
I mean, sometimes you'll have a storm like Hurricane Michael that hit the panhandle as a category five, but it was more like a tornado.
It was not necessarily a lot of rain, uh, not a lot of storm surge, but it just bulldozed everything in its path.
Then you have some others like Irma, uh, which are bigger and they drop a lot of water, cause a lot of flooding.
You know, this Ian is pretty close to a Cat 5 at landfall, very, very powerful, but a massive storm, and it's dumping a huge amount of water.
I mean, you're obviously seeing the storm surge that you saw in Naples.
Uh it's just now really getting into Lee and Charlotte counties.
Uh, so we're gonna see more uh flooding there, but then it's gonna meander across the state basically diagonally uh through Orlando and Daytona Beach and then exit the Atlantic Ocean.
That's gonna drop a huge amount of water, but then when it interacts in the Atlantic, that's gonna affect Northeast Florida like Nassau County and Duval, Jacksonville.
Uh so yeah, you're gonna see wide impacts.
Uh I will tell you, and you mentioned the linemen, we've got over 42,000 uh alignment and associated personnel.
Many states have sent people uh to help with the power restoration.
It's a massive mobilization.
We've got massive numbers of aircraft, high water vehicles, uh Shinook helicopters, you name it, to be able to help rescue people, uh, to be able to help deliver supplies and relief, and then obviously, you know, we want a resumption of services as the storm moves through, get people's power back on, make sure fuel's flowing and communications uh are restored.
Uh we we uh mobilized in my first year as governor for Dorian, you remember decimated the Bahamas.
It was supposed to hit us in probably Palm Beach as a category five, and it turned north and and skirted our coast.
And that was a big mobilization, but this is the biggest mobilization anyone could ever remember.
Uh, and we just understand uh that this is very important.
Those communities in Southwest Florida, you know them well, Sean.
These are fantastic communities.
These are fantastic people.
Um they're very, very resilient, uh, but we're facing something that's really, really significant.
And I really appreciate everybody throughout the country uh who's offered prayers for the folks down in Southwest Florida.
Um this is this is a mean storm, and these next couple of hours are gonna be very crucial uh in terms of the overall damage uh that is ultimately done.
Governor, I was watching you're almost begging people to heed the warnings and the projections that the storm about the storm and a massive mobilization, asking two and a half million Floridians to to leave these coastal areas in Southwest Florida.
Many, many did, and I I want to emphasize here for people that maybe didn't evacuate, um, you have emergency uh team standing by in the moment that they can go in.
If you know somebody that didn't evacuate in an evacuation zone, uh you want to register that person's name at Florida Disaster.org/slash info.
And and by the way, they have a Florida Disaster Fund.org.
That's another state website that's up there for donations.
And believe me, the people are gonna need it you talk about the electric company uh trucks that are staged governor i they're all staged in one one big area that looked the size of three football fields um why I I was shocked that they were that on the ready today and you had no idea whether or not the forecast would be a hundred percent accurate they turned out to be accurate more well the we have them staged all over the state so that's one big landing area but there's 30 sites overall all throughout
the state um they're going to have access obviously southwest Florida will be first and they'll work their way up as the storm uh passes I mean I think one of the challenges when you have a storm of this magnitude with the surge we're seeing and potentially a lot of wind damage is you know it's one thing to just have a power line go down and re and hook it back up it's another thing if the entire infrastructure is uprooted and damaged because the storm is so bad.
And if it's the latter then those crews have a have a duty not only to hook it back up they're really going to have to reconstruct some of the infrastructure and so they know that and they're prepared for that but that obviously adds to the challenges in terms of what you're seeing with the infrastructure.
But yeah the number of people when I was I went and gave them a pep talk to thank them what they're doing.
I mean I had I saw people from Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, you name it obviously we've got a lot of people in Florida as well but there are people coming and then we were driving back to Tallahassee from Lake City and if you looked at I 10 going eastbound uh every other car was like a utility truck.
I mean so there's more resources that are continuing to pour into the state of Florida because we just understand how important it is that some people hopefully we don't have a lot but some people very well may have uh injuries there may be fatalities there may be people that need to be rescued some people are going to have their homes um damaged some unfortunately maybe even destroyed but the vast majority of people are going to be able to get back in their homes and what they want to do is just have have the services restored as quickly as possible.
So we're we're using all levers at our disposal to help make that happen.
So I have friends in in Fort Myers I was actually able to send some videos over to your team just so they can get a a look see of what was happening there and and Fort Myers is being hit very hard right now as we speak and within a 10 minute period I got one video.
Ten minutes later the tide was up four to five feet the surge was up four to five feet literally covering an entire tennis court there was a a five foot fence I believe a dog park and in the first photo it was you know maybe up two feet the the surge and it was nearly covered ten minutes later.
That's how dramatically, quickly, you know, this surge is coming.
And I know in Tampa, for example, they're experiencing at low tide this morning what they call a reverse storm surge, where it's a phenomenon where the when the storm winds push water out of the bay.
And then when it comes back, it comes back with a huge storm surge, which they're expecting, I think, high tide this afternoon soon of six, eight feet, maybe even higher.
so that's a danger for Tampa is that correct?
Yeah I think so I mean I think obviously if we were you and I were talking uh thirty six hours ago the forecast was a direct hit into the Tampa Bay area and that's typically forecasted as as the worst case scenario for Florida just because of how vulnerable that is of course the forecast uh has shifted dramatically and so now we're looking at Southwest Florida it's gonna move up the coast but that will have impacts on on the Tampa Bay area.
I would say in Fort Myers if you look at how this storm is entering the Florida peninsula, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, some of those areas they're kind of on that northeast quadrant of that that storm just turning counterclockwise so that's that's going to churn up a massive amount of water into the coast into the coastal communities you also have different harbors there and so you're gonna see that and so this this is going to be really really significant and it's happening right now and really the next uh probably two
hours um are going to be the the maximum impacts for both Lee and Charlotte counties.
One concern I've heard from people that are in some of these these condos you know smaller condo buildings anywhere between eight stories and 15 stories is they're concerned uh about the the structural engineering uh my understanding of Florida code for many many years because they're experienced a slight sway in the building isn't then isn't that structurally engineered to do that in moments like this to withstand the type of winds that they're taking on right now?
So all if they're new built relatively new buildings.
I mean, they have uh they have to be built to very high building codes.
We have the strongest in the country, and it's built precisely for these types of situations.
And so uh my sense would be because there's been a lot of growth in Southwest Florida over the last 20 years in particular, that most of those structures uh have likely been built uh to withstand really, really serious uh wind uh damage and and and hurricane force winds.
But you know, Sean, I mean you're talking about you know, 150 miles an hour, a lot can happen there, trees, there's a whole host of other things, so nothing's ever foolproof.
But I do believe I remember going uh after Hurricane Michael, which was a category five in Panama City, and you could look at a building that was built relatively recently, and it's withstood it.
Right next door, there could be a building from like the 1950s, and it was totally utterly demolished.
And so I do think our building codes it costs a little bit more to build as a result of that, but you do it for situations like this because you you want everything to be able uh to make it through.
Now, all of these structures um you know on the on the first floor in the beach communities.
I mean, there's just so much flooding that they're gonna have to take care of the flooding for sure, and I think that's gonna be true for a lot of homes, uh, a lot of condos, a lot of hotels.
I will say though, there has been a trend in recent years.
Some of the people that are fortunate enough to live uh on those beautiful uh islands, barrier islands, they will build their homes up on kind of um almost like pedestals, knowing that there could be surge.
So it'll be interesting to see in places like Sanibel, because if you look, some of those homes are built up uh whether that ended up being effective because Sanibel got hit, one of the first to really get hit.
I mean, it was like the whole the whole island was basically turned into a river.
There was so much water.
Wow I've I've been hearing the same report.
What do you know about Sanibel?
How bad was it?
Well, it was I mean, you know it's it's one of the it's one of the major barrier islands, and it was one of the first ones to get really that that churn uh of of driving the storm surge, and so it so it drove it up, totally flooded uh uh the streets and and put most of the island um underwater.
And so, you know, those are folks that that live there, you know, most of those you know, folks you know, you know, have means, I would imagine most of them evacuated and and have places to stay.
So hopefully we don't have uh much in the way of of uh damage to to human beings.
Uh but yeah, I mean, I think this is gonna be the biggest uh the biggest surge event uh in the history of Sanibel.
The media made a big deal over the fact early yesterday that that President Biden had called mayors all throughout the varying cities that were expected to be impacted by this, but it hadn't called you.
But in fact, he did call you and you had a conversation with him.
How did that conversation go?
Well, when I was asked about it, my view is like, look, my phone is open.
I want to work for the people of Florida.
Um, you know, I obviously I've been a I've been uh a big critic of Biden's policy since he's been president.
We fought in Florida against those policies, but at the same time, uh I've got people that are in need.
We're working with the locals who we work very well with.
We want to work with FEMA too, and I want that to be seamless.
And so my said my phone lines open, so he called, um, you know, he pledged his support uh for us.
He has approved a pre-landfall declaration of emergency support.
We just uh sent him a request for 100 percent reimbursement uh for the restoration efforts uh for the first 60 days post-storm, and we hope that he'll he will approve that.
Um we you know, President Trump approved something similar after Hurricane Michael, my first year as governor.
So uh hopefully that we'll we'll get the support.
But my view on this, Sean, is you know, I'm I battle down for my positions.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, you know, at some point it's like there's some people that want to politicize everything, and some of these legacy media outlets, they can't help themselves.
I mean, that's all they want to do.
They want to use the peril and the misery of people in places like Southwest Florida to be able to advance their political agenda.
That's wrong.
They don't give a damn About these people in Southwest Florida.
They just want to try to advance their agenda.
Governor, we're on 700 stations.
This is the greatest audience on radio.
I know people listening want to help the people of Florida.
What can they do?
Well, I think if you go to FloridaDisaster.org, we have different options to be able to help in terms of volunteer.
You can volunteer time and you can send uh donations.
We're going to be doing a lot of relief efforts for folks in uh particularly Southwest Florida.
And Sean, you know there's a lot of needs that happen.
There's just going to be some basic subsistence needs.
Some people may have their homes destroyed.
They may need temporary housing.
We want to be able to help them with that.
And we want to be able to meet the needs of the people there.
There, there's government, there's state programs, there's FEMA, there's other stuff.
But you know, some of the money going to private groups, can just be deployed very efficiently.
And so those types of contributions are good.
