DeMarion, we're reporting in live from St. Louis, Missouri for Hello Nation. Community strength, I would say community strength for St. Louis is when natural disasters happen and I've seen a lot of people who are mean come out of their bodies and help people get in the community, bringing cans of food, helping the floods, building flood walls. So I mean, as far as community strength, St. Louis is kind of rough, but the community always stick together, the community sticks together no matter what. Every time a bad disaster happens, like a tornado that destroyed most of the north side of St. Louis, you see everybody from the county, the city, the south side, the west side coming in to help. It's just, it's unity and at the same time, when bad stuff does happen in St. Louis, there's so much resilience and all you will see is the people fighting to build their houses back up, fighting to just survive.
