Q Can you tell us just a little bit about the first town we're going to, Long Beach?

MR. POWELL: We're going to Biloxi and Gulfport, aren't we?

I'm from West Texas -- it was just wiped clean -- versus, like in New Orleans, where you had a city under water. So they had to -- it's hard to describe how they were devastated. That whole Gulf Coast area, from Ocean Springs and Pascagoula all the way over to Bay Saint Louis. It was huge.
