together. Now, we just went back to the hotel rooms by ourselves because we needed to be out of the way. But I want to show you some videos that we just got. This was on I-22 eastbound about 30 minutes ago. An 18-wheeler apparently lost control while driving on the west side and ended up on the east side in the middle of the highway. A perfect example of why we shouldn't be on the roads right now. And even before we got over the collision, there was an 18-wheeler. We also saw a number of semi trucks parked on the side of the highway. These conditions are not suitable for driving at all. Now I want to show you a live picture of what the hotel looks like outside of the hotel. This is on the highway here, and you can only see a number of semi trucks parked like I mentioned before. This is the scene now. You really don't want to be on these roads. Of course back here in Marion County, these roads are considered impassable. So you really want to take that seriously. Even here. You know, in our hotel, this grass is slippery. Very walking. Not a good idea on this one
