So the Phoenix metropolitan area, they were also affected by it. This was their wettest day in recorded history since the year 2000. They had a number of swift water rescues because cars became stranded on flooded roads. They actually had a ground stop at the Phoenix airport, so there were some delays there. The storms, they actually also produced hail, strong winds which of course damaged trees because there were downbursts associated with it and there were thousands of power outages reported. And there was also flooding in Scottsdale where some areas saw up to 8 feet of water in low lying areas. So at this point in time, at least since the 27th of September, there are 4 people that are confirmed dead. Three deaths occurred near Globe and two were found in a vehicle and one was found just floating in flood waters. And then the other death occurred in suburban Phoenix in the Scottsdale area and that person was found pinned beneath a walkway bridge after the water receded. So somebody in a car driving by spotted them, so that's not good.
