So Jimmy, you did not get washed away in the recent rain flooding situation?

0:06.0

No, no. Vermont is hit pretty hard and that's obviously about a two hour drive away from here,

0:11.2

three hour drive, and then South, which is only just about about less than an hour drive away,

0:16.6

get hit pretty hard to South. So it's funny in New York when people say the Hudson Valley,

0:21.3

if you're in New York City and you're like a news reporter and you say the Hudson Valley,

0:25.3

they talk about just above the Bronx, which is like 30 miles north of Manhattan.

0:29.7

But if you live upstate, the Hudson Valley is from Albany down and that's about 100 and so

0:36.9

miles north of where they always keep saying the Hudson Valley. So they talk about the very edge

0:42.2

of the South part of the Hudson Valley is where the flooding was, which was like white plains,

0:46.8

even just a little bit further north of that. So I didn't feel any effect and my house is high

0:52.5

up on a hill. So during Irene, with 10 years ago, they said New York City was going to get major

1:24.4

six lane road, every bridge was undermined and for years, there were fixing bridges around here,

1:31.0

every detour, there was many detours. But even during that event, my house was still high enough

1:35.8

to not even know when we woke up that morning. We didn't even know that there was any until we

1:40.0

went for a drive and we started realizing all these road closures. And just like little country

1:45.3

roads were closed for months because every bridge got washed under. And that did not happen

1:51.1

this week. It could happen down in the beginning of the Hudson Valley.

1:56.6

You know, it's funny. Geography is interesting. And I guess this is the case with everybody.
