And Africa, not to be left out. There's actually been a lot of persistent heavy rainfall through a large part of the African continent and that's basically, that sort of started around the 14th of October. But there's some very, very heavy rains on the 16th and 17th. So in West Africa, so the Gulf of Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Concray, the Ivory Coast, Côte d'Averie, Gambia, Senegal, and Mauritania, they were all seeing some substantial flooding from a slow moving system with persistent thunderstorms moving through. So that's been a big problem over there. That doesn't really get a lot of coverage in the western media so I just figured I'd mention that. And in Central and East Africa, they're having flooding as well. There's been persistent flooding in the south, in the south wetlands, so that's Northern Sudan and along the Lagan and Chari Rivers and Chad and that's also extending into Northern Cameroon since those rivers flow into there. And the heavy rain, again, this is all sort of part of the same broad weather system and there's been heavy rainfall that has created a high flood risk across Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Djibouti, as well as flooding in the Blue Nile and Sudan. So it's been very busy across Africa. Let me drop it.
