It was nasty last night. - You know what? I did not hear a thing. I may or may not have been up until like, 2:30 the night before working on stuff and then I crawled in bed at like 12:30 last night. I was so tired, I passed out and I woke up when one of my kids came in our bedroom at some time, 4:00 a.m. and my wife was like, "Did the thunder wake them up?" I was like, "Was it thundering?" I never heard a thing. - Man, corona times have not been kind to my sleep schedule. It's turned into like, aah, let's watch a movie and then the movies over and it's aah, maybe I would like just one TV show or let me read this book for a little while or whatever it happens to be. So I think last night, I was up until... Last night, I was late, it was 3:00 a.m., hence, my coffee brewing slowly this morning. So I heard that whole storm all through and the whole thing. I was sitting in my kitchen, it was awesome coming through, it was a good one. I like a good storm. - So I woke up and I was actually bummed it didn't wake me up 'cause I'm the same way, I love a good thunderstorm, especially at night. For whatever reason, those night thunderstorms and the lightning lights up the whole house and the thunder just rolls. I don't know, it's cathartic for some strange reason, as long as there's not a tornado blowing my house down. - Yeah, well, there's that whole thing, but it was definitely a good thunder and lightning storm and it was tornadoes and stuff farther to the north, but not so much for us. So, it was just a good rain event. - Yes, I will say not growing up in Jacksonville, I have been impressed with the geographic surrounding of Jacksonville and how it seems to deter most storms from hitting us. Like we never really seem to get tornadoes or really bad storms from the west because of the river and because we're sitting just down low enough. I think the Gulf of Mexico messes up a lot of them and then the way Jacksonville's kind of set in on the coast if you're going up the Florida coast and up in the Georgia and South Carolina, it seems to deter any hurricanes from really having a direct hit on Jacksonville. - Yes, it is the farthest point west on the East Coast. Like when you think about that dip in, so it's not just Florida to Georgia and all that, like pull out a map and look all the way up, it is the farthest point west, from Maine all the way down to us. - What about the Keys? Don't the Keys loop back into the west? - They do, but they're sitting actually like-- - They're just sitting in the middle of the ocean. - They are, right? But they're all the way down at that eastern tip of Florida is, think about like going down to Miami and you're pretty much a straight line down to the Keys from there. So they are still farther east than we are, but as a chain of islands, they stretch pretty far over, but at that point, they're underwater anyway . - Got it. - So as a landmass with too big bodies of water like you talked about, between the ocean and the river, being a pretty substantial river, but at least nice and wide, it's good enough to pick up a lot of the weather that comes throug...
