Inside and most of the reason that we see interruptions in service is because of debris flying around in the wind that then knocks out poles or knocks out some of their towers. because of that, they have crews stacked for 24 hours looking for that, looking to restore service and similarly in other parts of the state, as well. overall, this is a very bizarre thing and that is why we have seen in all of our social media, l.a. county, san diego, all of them putting out, fema, the state of californi...

Season. thats a state, people that are used to storms like this, preparing for storms like this. again, california, nevada not places that are used to that. with that in mind, what are you most worried about looking ahead in the next 24 hours? >> one of the things to worry about is that people as they see the hurricane downgrade, they dismiss it as not being a major event. the reality is this will be a wind event, this will be a major flooding event. and its typically water in places like florid...
