Okay, other weather around the world. South Asia, they've had some particularly hard hit, they've been hit hard I should say by storms, so they've been particularly hard hit. Pakistan, they had some very very heavy rainfall in the mountainous Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of northwest Pakistan, I hope I said that correctly. And I'm not sure exactly how many people died, but the reports that I've seen said that there was essentially flash flooding and mudslides and part of a mountain collapsed and that killed over 320 people. And the Bunir district is the sort of epicenter of what happened there. And they're reporting an additional 184 deaths on top of the 320 and right now there's still rescue efforts underway. Apparently they had somewhere on the order of 400mm of rainfall in the span of a couple hours, that's a lot of rainfall. And of course it is the monsoon season over there and the early indication is that they're getting about 65% more rainfall than they had last year in this monsoon season. So a lot of heavy rain on the way. And in India, which obviously neighbors Pakistan, the Indian administered Kashmir region, they had flash floods and mudslides as well. And in some of the Himalayan villages in Chhosti, they had a landslide that killed 60 people there. At least that's the current death toll, but it's expected to rise. Let me drop it.
