looking around and collecting this damaga assessment. so that's what worry we will be doing the rest of the that's going to be a very interesting conversation for sure. i mean, because tornado certainly aren't very common for us here in the bay area. >> no, they're i was saying it's sort of like that. people in kansas getting a tsunami so, you know, we have had to tsunami is i'm sorry, tornadoes that hit either in san francisco are near only twice once in once in 2005, which is really south of the city says is a very, very rare occurrence. people were quite alarmed. so we've just been trying to, you know, push information out and just like the tsunami warning, which was less than 2 weeks ago. you know, there was no notice for this. we had no notice either at permanent emergency

management. so we recommend that when people get to notifications that they read he whatever warning. but also immediately look for more information and thankfully it was, again, just like this, not me a list over before it started and we're grateful that as of now, we don't have news of any injury from it. >> absolutely there are also seeing a power outage is affecting thousands of people in san francisco right now. what is the guidance for people who are living in the what should they be aware? >> yeah. so we've also been tied it on several cars and pg e already this and the numbers of the outage are going down. i think we started at like 30 13,000 customers out were down last. i heard it was like below 7,000. so we're hoping those pg e crews are out doing restoration, but it is still very windy. we're still gonna
