just so people have an idea. So there is, so while tornadoes, you know, they're not as frequent or publicized in Brazil as they are in the US, just due to the nature of the country, there is a very active tornado zone and this town falls within it and it's basically called the the S.A.P.C., the South American tornado corridor, makes sense right? And that area is believed to be, so the Canadian tornado alley so the prairies in Canada is believed to be if you broke up the American tornado alley from the Canadian tornado alley then the Canadian tornado alley would be the second most tornadic area in the world that we know of there are some conflicting reports with China China is getting pretty competitive with tornadoes and we think that that's just because now there's more people observing tornadoes in China. But this area, this SATC corridor, the South American tornado corridor, if you considered the Great Plains tornado corridor, so the area from Texas all the way through to the Canadian prairies as one area for tornadoes, the SATC would likely be the second most active region in the world for tornadic activity. So Australia gets tornadoes, but they tend to be sort of spread out so the FATC is more of a condensed area and because it's become more populous and there's more agricultural activity tornadoes are getting more documented. So while tornadoes are sort of common down there even F4s are still relatively rare those are much higher end events. So there you have the a very very substantial event in Brazil. Let me drop it.
