And the last one are red alerts, and this is the most serious, and they're putting an exclamation point in a triangle in a red box. That's what they're using. And this means very dangerous and possibly life-threatening weather will cause extreme damage and disruption. Impacts are extensive, widespread, and prolonged. Red alerts are rare. I noticed they were testing it out with some of the forest fire warnings earlier in the year, but they've officially launched the system. So I noticed this with the snow squalls the other day they had yellow alerts or yellow warnings so for example they had a snow squall warning and it was coated yellow and that meant that you know they were calling for like half a foot of snow. It's a lot of snow for some people but if you're in the snow belt that's a light dusting and you just go to the store as usual so they had that coated and then in areas where they said hey there's gonna be a bit of a blizzard 80 kilometer an hour winds and oh by the way you might get 50 to 60 centimeters of snow they gave that a orange color-coded warning for the snow squall warning so that was an orange alert that was wrapped into a snow squall warning and I haven't seen a red warning yet at least not in Ontario but I imagine that would be like a tornado warning or something like that right tornado watch it might be a yellow, and if there's a supercell, they might upgrade it to a fringe, and then if there's a tornado or something that screams tornado on radar, they'll update it to red. So that's more in line with what the European Union is doing. Australia also has a similarly color-coded system, so it just helps to give people an idea, you know, contextualize the weather alert because while you can have snow squall warning, snow squall warning obviously aren't the same. There's a big difference between a snow squall warning for half a foot or 15 centimeters versus snow squall warning for two feet, 60 centimeters, you know, with the blizzard conditions. So, there you have it. Something new that we'll see here in Canada. Alright, we will send it back to you, Ken. I don't know if there are any comments, questions or anything like that. Oh, one last thing, let me drop it.
