00:04ask you, who was the first person

00:06to contact you to notify you

00:08that this tragedy was unfolding?

00:10Probably Christie, but I was

00:12notified by a lot, and Chip

00:14called also. Chip was here

00:16for, he thought it was going to be

00:18a little flood. He was going to miss the signing

00:20for the big, beautiful

00:22bill, and he

00:24called to apologize. He said he's

00:26going to be delayed because of

00:28a little flood, and the little

00:30flood turned out to be the biggest

00:32flood anyone's ever seen. So, Chip

00:34and, but Christie called right away.
