last night. i know the frustrating part of how the storm attacks it doesn't allow search and rescue and first responders to get into the area in the middle of the night and they have to wait for the impacts to pass. i know they will be uncovering a lot of damage and some pretty tough situations as daylight is there today. the other thing that concerns me is any time a storm slows down and recurves back to the northeast a lot of rainfall. you will see probably inland louisiana and mississippi, alabama and tennessee and as you know tennessee took a hard hit several weeks ago from other inland flood issues. >> dana: brock, when you look at a situation like this and it slows down and dumping all this rain and it's not even september yet. we have three or four more months of hurricane season and these storms are coming fast and furious. they are about to have to deal with an infrastructure bill in
