Yeah, KI7PKL from HEWS said, Sounds like a normal day over here in Wales, Roy. But yeah, if you have problems with flooding and getting back home, it's best not to go and stay home and stay safe. And yeah, I hope you're in a sort of high enough location not to get flooded there as well. We've got a lot of low-lying land in the valleys here. And that's probably why Johnson Creek might be a similar kind of location and we had all the heavy rain. All our ground is still totally and utterly saturated. And of course we have all heavier rain that's forecast and there's nowhere to go. The rivers break their banks and flooding occurs and that's what's happening over here. The interesting thing is, even though the rain stops here on the coast, it's still actually heavy up in the mountains. And so if you've got a flood risk warning for one of our local rivers, that stays in place like for up to five days after the rain stops because of course all the water coming down rolling off the mountains and into the rivers further north, you know, it can still cause flooding down the neck of the woods before it goes into the Bristol Channel there in the 7 estuaries. So, yes, it's not nice. I know a friend of mine who was close up the river. She got actually totally flooded out. You don't normally get flooded, but the last load of rain we had, she did, so it's not nicer getting you in your house or your business flooded out there, Roy. KI7, PKL from GWA, that's ZL. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. All star node 6222. Oh, you are so right about that. Yeah. Oh, it's terrible. I have lived through 200 year floods in this area, about 30 years apart, and the last one was almost 30 years ago, so we're due for another one, I hate to say it, but I tell you, after the flood waters have receded, the first one when I was a kid experienced a lot of that because I was in places that had been flooded. And after the flood waters recede, oh, it's just nasty. Everything is a mess. All the floors have to be removed. There was a bowling alley at my school. Oh, that was sad. They actually rebuilt it and everything. And that was pretty nice. But oh yeah, it's just a horrible smell and it's just everywhere too. So yeah, hoping that we can avoid that. I've never had a problem here and I don't think my house is ever flooded. So we're on kind of interesting topography right here where I'm at, but hopefully there's some kind of channels where the water can escape and there's a drain right at the end of my driveway too. And as long as that doesn't get clogged up, we're probably in... Anyway, everything around here is just soggy, soggy, soggy, soggy. No imaging again this month. I looked at the forecast and yeah, didn't do any imaging in November and sadly no imaging in December either. So, you know, it'll just be that much more fun when we finally do get out there, especially with the new camera which we should have probably in early part of January and then we'll be doing some LRGB and SHO and I've been building scripts to help automate some of the processing and playing with some test data and just yeah I'm really looking forward to that you know doing it with my data so anyway back to you.
