We're gonna try to check back in with Danny. Now who is in WIA? Danny, what are you seeing there tonight? So, one of the biggest debacles we're seeing right now with the storms in waking is the fact that the traffic lights on highway five have gone out. So look at the chaos this is causing. You have a car that's trying to go straight, you have this car that's coming this way. That has no idea whether they're supposed to stop or not. So just causing a lot of chaos and confusion on the roads. And we've seen several neighborhoods in WIA without power tonight. We were driving around, we saw crews out immediately and those crews were already cleaning up some of the trees that had come down. Some of the debris that we had found in these neighborhoods, chain saws were out, working hard neighbors coming together to try to clear the streets. This was a particularly huge tree that we saw just about a mile south of where we're standing right now on the southern end of WIA, we met up with some neighbors who were having a very busy night. I mean, you can see, like the whole thing just came right, you know, route down as you drive around the area. Like on the way home, you guys got to take it easy. There's debris everywhere and just to give you a little more perspective on just how powerful these storms were. We were told by Carver County emergency management. There were some, there were some small fires at homes in the county because of electrical issues because of the winds and the storms that came through. However, glad to report no injuries at this time tonight in the county. Back to you. That's good to know. Thank you, Danny.
