later. All right. Thank you. Sure. We're going to head over to Fox 26. Sherman to Sell, who has been reporting on the hurricane all day from Morgan City, Louisiana, which is just about 30 miles from where that storm made landfall. We're out here in Morgan City. We're actually about to relocate. We just got an advisory that there's a flash flood warning in this area until 11:00 tonight. But somebody that we've seen braving this storm for the last several hours is Jeff. Jeff, you're originally from Florida. What part? Fort Pierce. And so you make it a point to watch the weather all the time. I've always had an interest. Really? Yeah. Where did that start? It was in Florida. You deal with a lot of hurricanes? Yeah. For sure. Yeah, and so we saw you out just enjoying the weather, actually. What is it about it that makes you want to go and track where the storm is going and be in there? It's an opportunity to do something you don't see very often. And I'm very much into physics. And so I get to watch physics at work. Got you. Tell us a little bit about some of the physics that you saw at work. Well, it's all about wind direction and knowing, kind of like looking for debris, looking for things, looking for hazards, knowing where you can and can't be. So it's kind of a game in that regard. And it's I mean, how often do you get to stand out in 100 mile an hour wind? Well, listen, man, you were standing out there like William Wallace. You were brave taking everything I can. Thank you so much, Jeff. Be safe out here. All right? Man Yeah. All right, so that's Jeff from Florida. He's taking out the time to enjoy this weather. But we, my friends, are finding a different place to relocate for the night, again, this weather is still pretty choppy
