Like my wife Jen, she just looked right into my soul. She was burning into me Okay, so the the tornado that struck as I was saying Brazil They're no stranger to large tornadoes them in Australia at this time of the year get them as well as South Africa there have been some near Cape Town. So it's not this year not not yet, but it's not uncommon same with Argentina Argentina gets those two Large part of South America does so this one had wins of 300, so the wind speeds that they're expecting are between 333kmh and 418kmh, that's 207-260mph. Those would have been the strongest winds that were located on the, I think it was the southeast quadrant of the tornado with its motion and it was it's the Metzl meteorologica there that's the meteorological service down there they still use the traditional Fujiya scale so they're giving it a an f4 rating there was also a second f4 that was confirmed near Guarapava and that's an an exceptionally rare and sort of violent tornado event for Brazil. That area is a little removed from where they traditionally see tornadoes. But this is all part of the same low pressure system, just two different parts of the low pressure system. So yeah, I don't really know what's much more to discuss over here. But I can tell you that the path length for the main tornado, the one that went through Rio Bonito do Iguacu, that one was 40 kilometers, 25 miles long, and it had a width of 800 to 1000 meters. That's about half a mile to a sixth of a mile. So a very large tornado by any measure. Six people were killed in Rio Bonito itself. 835 people were injured and 90% of the homes in the town were completely destroyed, just completely leveled. It looks It looks like a war zone. Let me drop it.
