We've already deployed dollars to the state, much like the block grants that you've talked about. So very grateful for that, sir. There's never been a wave like this outside of the breaking of a dam. This was almost a wave that was. Ended up being 30ft high. More actually now with the dam, you can understand it, but this approached almost with that speed. When you see a dam break, it's not a pretty sight. (06:52–06:57)
