Yeah, it can be very, 111, that's a very high heat index. You're gonna sweat with that. Once you get into those temperatures, it's different, right? The heat, I know it's very hot in B.C., that's a dry heat. You go in the shade, you turn on a fan, it makes a big difference. You go in the shade, you turn on a fan with that type of humidity out east. I mean, a fan helps, but you're still sweating bucket threads. You're able to sort of sweat enough that you can cool yourself, you know, the way you do. The wet bulb temperature is far lower with the western heat, so you can actually have some transpiration and that'll cool. Whereas that doesn't work nearly as efficiently out in the east. Okay, we have a bunch of other things. Let me mention this. Montreal flooding, I was away for this, but on Sunday, July 13th, they had 100 millimetres of rain that fell in just 90 minutes and it flooded parts of Montreal. Montreal Trudeau International Airport, they got 58 millimetres, that's 2.3 inches, by the way, 100 millimetres is 3.9 inches of rain. And the city essentially flooded, underpasses were flooded, etc., etc., and there was widespread damage. And houses were flooded, homes were flooded, businesses were flooded, etc. And one of the areas that was particularly hit hard was St. Leonard, and they had a number of basements and stuff were totally just washed out. You know, the house was, the water was halfway up the second floor of the house, so some absolutely horrific flooding out there. And some major road closures as a result, too. Highway 40, 15 and 25 were submerged and closed. And they actually had about, the storm also had some gusty winds, winds of 90 kilometres an hour, and about 100,000 customers were without power at the peak. Let me drop it.
