[0:00] Dwight. Dwight, John Franco was getting
[0:02] pretty good in wet, too. Certainly was.
[0:03] Let's check in with Todd Tongen who's in
[0:05] North Dade. How you doing, Todd? Well,
[0:07] so far we're doing just fine, Dwight.
[0:09] We've
[0:11] I don't know if you know where we're lo-
[0:12] we're located at about 207th. The county
[0:14] line is at 215th.
[0:16] And we just just about 5 minutes ago
[0:20] experienced a very heavy downpour, and
[0:22] then it's let up. So, the rains are
[0:23] coming in the waves such as the wind was
[0:26] coming just about an hour ago. It's
[0:28] coming in waves. Right now it's just a
[0:29] light rainfall, but we are expecting
[0:32] obviously some more torrential
[0:33] downpours. Oddly enough, there was a
[0:35] restaurant one of our engineers as he
[0:37] was coming in to set up stopped at a

[0:58] in Miami. I'm not sure if it's because
[1:00] of the storm or because of other
[1:02] technical problems that we're
[1:04] experiencing some difficulty. But we're
[1:06] going to go to a tape from earlier in
[1:09] the hours before the storm and see how
[1:11] 25.4.
[1:13] I've kind of approximated what the eye
[1:15] would look like here. If I can just get
[1:17] back to my my mode here. Here we go.
[1:19] Whoops. Sorry.
[1:20] Right there, as the eye is going along
[1:22] that, it's going to go right through the
[1:24] Perrine Cutler Ridge area. Now, that
[1:26] would be the eye, okay? Now,
[1:28] the worst damaging winds are of course
[1:32] just to the north of the eye. So, we'd
[1:33] be looking at up in here in this
