All right, so over the last couple of weeks, so October 3rd to about the 18th, we've had a number of active tropical systems. There's been rain and flooding and a whole bunch of other things across the world. First if we look at the North Atlantic Basin, Tropical Storm Jerry that formed around October 7th and that brought heavier winds and rains to the Leeward Islands and it dissipated on the 11th of October. And we also had Subtropical Storm Karen and that was a short-lived system and that was in the North Atlantic on October 10th and it quickly dissipated. And there was Tropical Storm Lorenzo and that formed out in the open end of the Eastern Atlantic on October 13th and that dissipated on October 15th. And on October 17th, as of October 17th, there's been 11 named storms, 4 hurricanes, 3 major hurricanes and the accumulated cyclone energy, the ACE index, that's just a little below the 1991 to 2020 normal. So it's trending just a little lower, but I guess that's a good thing. Let me drop it.
