How much was pumped out overnight last night? I don't have an estimate as to how much is pumped out last night. I can say that people are talking about that. The average height where we're draining is declining about an inch an hour, maybe even a little bit more than that. And we know that we're seeing dewatering of about 6,000, maybe slightly more than that, gallons per minute. So there's a lot of water that's being drained, but there's also massive amount in there that still needs to be drained. (20:43–20:51)
