let's get to Shaquille Brewster, and I believe Shaq's in Mississippi. Shaq, what part of Mississippi are you in, and what are you seeing? Gulfport. We're in Gulfport, Mississippi, Craig, and I'll tell you the biggest sign, the biggest indicator that I saw this morning about the force of the storm last night is that the mail delivery has returned. We saw postal workers going out delivering mail this morning, just a couple of minutes ago. People were walking their dogs. They're back on the beach right now, and that's the sense that you're getting that the rain has stopped. The wind is still going there. I think we even have a random person going around. You know, I'm gonna turn this way because, you know, we deal with some people every once in a while, but you know one thing that we are noticing is that the mayor said the curfew is still in effect. The curfew is going to be going on for at least until a period.

of time in which they can go ahead and go and survey all the damage they did. Get some reports of some downed power lines, of some trees that have fallen, or at least limbs that have fallen. So they're going to go ahead and do that survey to make sure that they're okay. Craig, I'm going to toss it back to you because we have a person who needs a little help right now. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Um, we're gonna check in with Shaq Brewster just to make sure all is well. Uh, there's a lot of crazy out there, a lot of crazy. And uh, Bill Karens, thank you as well. Again, we'll make sure Shaq's okay. I do want a note here for a moment. You probably saw or heard a few moments ago. Uh, one of our correspondents was disrupted. Uh, by some wacky guy. Uh, during his live shot there in Mississippi. Uh, please report that Shaquille Brewster is doing just fine. Shaq is okay. [Music] You
