we're gonna brief folks The storm, extreme cold weather you can see on the map, the estimated areas where you know as low as 50° where its at dark red below zero. It was dangerous and threatening. This is really very serious weather alert here and it goes from Oklahoma all the way to Wyoming and Wyoming domain and it's a real consequence. So I encourage everyone. Everyone please heed the local warnings we've contacted, we've tried to contact 26 governor so far in affected regions and uh and go to weather dot gov weather dot gov for more information. I know this is you know, it's like it's not like a snow day, you know when you're a kid, this is serious stuff and uh my team is prepared to help communities whether this no pun intended uh this storm, this, this, this freeze and because we need to cope, they need to be able to cope with this necessary. I'm gonna shortly be briefed by uh both fema and the national weather service and we're gonna start that briefing. But in the meantime, please take this storm extremely seriously and I don't know whether your boss will let you. But if you all have travel plans to leave now, not a joke. I'm sending my staff, my staff if they had plans to leave on tomorrow late tonight or tomorrow and tell them to leave now they can talk to me on the phone, it's not life and death, but it will be if they don't they don't get out, they may not get out. So anyway, thank you all for coming in and I'm gonna do the briefing now.
Thank you. Thanks guys.
