Digit 5, I apologize. I got caught on the phone. I'm calling Duke now. If I read our lines on the grounds, or is it looking for somebody to come in contact with? Two lines. One is down. It's hanging about maybe 8 feet above the road. The other one is probably closer to 20 feet, and that's the one the tree is laying on and still smoking. 10-4-1 is going to be in service. Okay. Visit sparking as well or just smoking. We're not seeing any archaic. It looks like it's maybe burned about an inch of the way into the trunk of the tree and smoking. Is there been a loss of power? Unable to say. That's a high line running to a, looks like a couple different neighborhoods. The house that we're at, I believe it still has power. Have more, thank you.
