[0:03] at uh uh Shell Point. There's where you
[0:05] need to go. There's the circle right
[0:07] through there. All right. Okay. Um now,
[0:08] let's go. You want to go further down
[0:09] the beach? Let's go to Fort Myers Beach.
[0:11] Let's go to Fort Myers Beach and let's
[0:12] start talking about some of the uh the
[0:14] places of refuge we can go there. All
[0:16] right. Um Jim, again, the whole point of
[0:19] this is uh if you're at home, uh we want

[1:13] you are vulnerable, if you've been uh in
[1:15] your your your manufactured home too
