moments ago we spoke with biloxi mayor Andrew gillitch. We understand you took the brunt of Nate’s wrath. Can you describe what the storm felt like as it was passing through. It was not continually battering those — the wind and the rain, but it was intense there and, again, I think the disorganization and the speed of this storm helped us, you know, in our outcome. I think we were very fortunate. It moved through very fast. It was not like Katrina that seemed to linger or some of the other storms this year, especially Harvey. You’re waking up, the sun is coming out. Crews are assessing the damage. You’re dealing with the afterat. Wh what are you expecting to see. Normal debris situation. You know, kind of line up all our recovery and debris removal contractors to get things passable. I think overall we’re very grateful that we skated through this one.

So we’re thankful for everybody’s prayers who were thinking of us in the middle of it, you know, as you go through these storms, you just never know so we prepared for the worst and we came out all right.
