To put an exact dollar figure to that. I mention the damage caused by Tropical Storm isabel. That was well over 100 million that was more than just repairing the cost. It gave us more protections. We used that money to build berms, build some of these flood doors and internal pumps. We were able to get that money to make the Naval Academy better and safer.

The wake of Tropical Storm isabel. In 2003 isabel caused widespread flooding and equipment damage throughout the yard. The total cost of that for repair was 120 million. Weve taken several measures to ensure a similar event will not have the same detrimental impact. Weve raised the ground floor elevations of new construction. For example, wesley brownfieldhouse was built above the flood level and acts as a flood wall. We reelected the chiller plant and moved the hvac equipment to rooftops where ...
