It has been busy in parts of Europe, in Western Europe, Spain and Portugal. They have been dealing with an exceptional wildfire season. They have had wildfires continuously now for what seems like about a month and a half, almost two months. Again, they have had more than 8,000 people that have been evacuated across different regions and so far there have been at least eight fatalities that have been directly attributed to the fires and habitats of all sorts of endangered species have been negatively impacted. And switching away from the fires, the UK and Ireland, they saw the remnants of Hurricane Aaron and that just brought some unsettled weather and storms. They actually had winds in some of the areas, coastal areas, up to 80 miles an hour and Ireland was particularly hard impacted by these winds where trees were uprooted and power lines were taken down as Aaron turned into a big extra tropical system.
