My brother was killed by a woman that stole a truck and hit him head on, going over a hundred. Right there in Lakeland Fl. He didnt get a press conference. He didnt get anything. But an early death. He was going to the post office. He was a postmaster. A father. A veteran. A good man. Rip Kenneth Roger Gadd.
Sorry for ur loss. But definitely understand. My father also died from being hit at high speed by a drunk driver but passed yrs later after the accident. He was hospitalized the entire time. But I think Judd may be coming to conclusions prematurely. Bcse it seems like they are not done w the investigation. What if the car she was driving was defective. Bcse usually if a person has a close call, they usually will stop the behavior even if they're drinking. Plus it appears she just had a good day at the beach and has a child of her own. And her family didn't see that as her typical behavior. I'm just hoping all this lifelong pain wasn't from just her sheer stupidity.
@@dar7230Right. She was a kid. 22 is still a kid. The frontal lobe of the brain doesn’t full develop until at least 25 or so, which controls reasoning, impulsive behavior, control, understanding consequences, etc. Many kids & young adults make stupid decisions without realizing the true risk & ramifications of those decisions. It’s so sad. We need to teach our kids better.
@b-dub6865 Did you see her cute duck fayce smirk? Did you hear the officer say she had a beer can embeded in her leg? When I was a "Kid" we did stupid stuff... buut the small towns would tkt you for 2 mph over the limit. We didn't mess around with the speed limit. She wasn't a "kid" or a "child" @ 22 years of age. Definitely grown & culpable.
I was Traffic Homicide Investigator for 14 years and saw the worst and the best of humanity. I am so glad to hear this officer say out loud what I was never allowed to say during interviews and follow-ups. It deserves to be said. Kudos to Sheriff Grady for telling it like it is.
I had a UK photo business and a regular client was a crash investigator. He would bring in his film, sometimes with a warning, 'This is a fatal' and I'd process them and print out multiple 8x6 copies for the court cases. The mangling of cars was incredible and often I'd wonder how anyone involved managed to survive.
As an ER specialist I want to thank you for every day that you served! You and I both saw horrible things, but you got to THE MOST horrible scenes. Again, thank you.

Amazing the 3 year old had only minor injuries and survived. The parents must be so grateful yet also heartbroken for loss of the child’s grandparents.

I moved to Florida in 2016. The only reason why I haven’t been in a serious collision(there really is no such thing as an “accident”) is because I drive very carefully always. Even so, it’s getting harder and harder to get around Florida safely. There’s just too many idiots on the roads. 😡

We had a similar crash in Renton WA. The 18 year old was driving 112, hit a van,and killed a mother and three children from other families, her children are still in hospital recovering. The driver is alive. The car he wrecked was the third car he wrecked in the past two years. Sickening.
I've got a friend who is afraid to ride with me- say's I'm not safe on the road. He has crashed more cars than I've ever owned, and has a bunch of speeding tickets on his record. Me: Clean driving record for 30+ years, have never wrecked a vehicle.
The Renton 18yo was traveling 112mph on a 45mph residential arterial and drove through a red light t-boning that minivan and killing that poor mother and those poor three children. Beyond heartbreaking and truly disgusting behavior from that 18yo and his parents who enabled him with his brand new car. Those two prior car wrecks were within *11 months* from this tragic accident (May 23 and Jan 24) and were also speed related. Lock the entire family up.
He’s the sheriff of one of the largest county in Florida. He holds people accountable. Of course he’s always in the news! Hell, I wish he would run for Governor!
Thank you Sheriff for telling it exactly how it is. There’s way too many reckless drivers in Florida that are driving way too fast and have nowhere to go that quickly. No emergency.
3 girls died in a crash near me awhile ago. The parents blamed the road, the corner, the tree, the highway department, the highway patrol, and the guy that restocks the soda machine at the repair shop up the street. When we all saw the pictures of her pickup truck split into THREE pieces, everybody knew where the blame should lay. All of the parents are/were still in total denial. "My baby did nothing wrong!" State Police accident investigators determined she was doing OVER 140. I drive that road, and also have a pickup. I wouldn't take that turn at over 35 in DAYLIGHT, and this girl tried at 140+ at 3:45 AM. She was almost 17, had a learner's permit, and no adult in the vehicle over 21 with a valid license. The other two girls were 15. None of the caskets were open. Ferris Bueller said life comes at you fast... I say, so do 3 foot diameter trees.
im not advocating for this, but perhaps it deserves reconsideration, but in europe the average age for learning to drive is 18, perhaps letting immature children on our roads is not the most ideal idea
Highway 60 always scares me. That driver that let her back in probably feels bad, since unfortunately woulda probably been better for her to hit the semi.
Plus..when that driver slowed down and let her back in would have probably died if she didn't make it, was hit on her front left, and driven back into the guy who slowed down
I like that this sheriff puts these video’s out to the public. He sounds so concerned . I think he truly is concerned. I haves watched several of these public notices. He does a good job.
It wouldn't matter bc we have plenty in Louisiana who don't have their license but drives anyway and usually recklessly to cause accidents and they here seem to live and the families are left devastated with no love one and they can't sue a lover with no insurance and they know it. They know usually nothing happens to them until they kill someone and then it's just jail that they don't fear bc again...they have nothing. We've had people that had 4 DUIs and until they killed someone nothing was done and like I said they just drive wo anything! It's hotrible!😢
@trevencarlson9338 It's not just in Florida. All around the US, infrastructure designed for travel is catered to those who own cars. Other countries have bullet trains, sidewalks, bike lanes, etc. Those are rare except in large cities. The car manufacturers are in catered to and good public transportation isn't available for the majority of people.
My heart breaks for the innocent grandparents killed in this crash, for the 3 year old little grandson, and for the other 3 year old who now has no mother. My grandma was killed crossing a road when she came out from the cemetery after visiting grandpa. It is the worst thing, the most hurtful, that ever happened in my life. I will grieve for her my whole life. Time lessens it a bit but the hurt is always there. She was the best person I've ever known. That was in 1970, almost 54 years ago now. How much better life would have been with my grandma. I pray for God's peace and strength to be given to the victims' families. This is a tragedy they will live with forever. 😭🙏
Thank you, sheriff, for bringing this to light! We spend tons of time driving down Hwy 60 & 70, nearly everyday I see some foolish person driving like an idiot!!!
Lived in Florida for 2 years. Traffic in Florida was the reason I moved back to Michigan. I’ve never in my life witnessed such recklessness as I did when I moved there. We were the victims of two hit and runs in the first month we were there. Developed PTSD and sat at home because I was so terrified to drive.
Lived in SWFL for 65 years. I saw more accidents caused by people from out of state. They would rather go straight across 3 lanes of traffic, than go down and turn around. Drove Daniel's parkway twice daily. You probably caused me to have PTSD. I am just adult enough to deal with it. You are a label person.
I don't know about president, maybe Secretary of State or Transportation, possibly head of National Security. You know he'd have to clean up alot of corruption first.
Funny, I called the police the other morning around 0500 southbound on I95 past the Fort Lauderdale airport and reported a car driving over 100 miles an hour, tailgating and cutting people off within inches, and the police didn’t seem to care. Even with the license plate, they asked “is the person just driving fast?” Get our traffic under control please!
If he had not slowed down, he could have been injured or killed as a result of her head on with the semi. After a head on like that, parts or whole vehicles can go in different directions.
Average person has no idea what people go thru cleaning up broken crushed bodies in wrecks like this. They should post the graphic pictures as warnings to the public
I despise drunk drivers, my nephew was home on leave after 4 combat tours, he was killed by a drunk driver and left in the road to die since the driver took off and left him there. The driver was found and sentenced but was only sentenced to 3 fricking years in prison.
I have an adult son and I beg him to not be out driving after dark on weekends bc you’re sharing the road with drunk lunatics. I’ve had too many close calls and won’t drive at night unless absolutely necessary
Mr. Grady Judd I am sorry for this news of this horrific crash. Thank you for your professional, and caring demeaner. I have watched other statements from you and find you very refreshing. God bless you🙏❣️
Florida needs a super speeder law like Georgia has. I drive on I-95 around 80mph in ga and rarely get passed. I drove to Orlando 2 weeks ago and I was passed nonstop by people doing 95+.
I don't know how people survived in most of the 80s, before April 1987, 55 was the law even on the most wide open rural interstates, and Florida's Turnpike prior to 1988.

I grew up in the L.A. area. No 2-lane highways nearby, so I didn't understand the danger, until a friend explained it to me on a road trip we went on. Thank you Bob. You were absolutely right. And now I try to avoid them whenever possible, and stay on high alert if I have to drive one. We are at the mercy of morons who are on the roads with us.
No. I would think that one doesn’t get many chances in life to mix dehydration with a sunny day drinking excursion to the beach before speeding down the wrong way into on coming traffic. Carpe diem.
thank you sheriff judd. i know it was hard but people need to be talked to more openly this way. there are consequences for your actions. be respectful and caring toward others and be mindful of making bad decisions. my heart goes out the the victims and their families and also the girl who caused the wrecks family.
0:24 I haven’t heard about this yet, and I’m just starting the video, but when I read the description my heart fell into my stomach. I literally had a knot in my stomach… just senseless tragedies that effect SO many people… 💔 Rest peacefully to all who lost their lives that day. 🙏
I used to love traveling and just going for rides…I don’t anymore because there are just so many selfish drivers on the road with no regard for themselves or anyone else! It’s scary out there on the roads everywhere😢
I agree. The most dangerous place to be is on the road. People drive like mental patients. I live near Philthydelphia, PA and have been driving for about 40 years. I always drive defensively and expect people to do stupid, illegal moves. Drivers are more inept today than any time in decades. The drivers manual is half the size it was in the 1980s. Example: We used to have to memorize braking at three different speeds AND three different conditions (dry, wet and snow) but that was removed by the year 2000. It's gotten worse with the Illegals, unlicensed, uninsured and drivers from third world countries. Be safe out there. Peace.
So many are affected by this. Families, friends, first responders and tow drivers. It’s hard to be a part of things like this and not be affected. I remember some I towed in and cried later for. Still see some crashes to this day that stuck with me. Prays for all!
@@Republican-00769it's somehow DeSantis's fault cops don't pull people over as much? What about other states that don't pull people over, do we blame DeSantis for that too? The fact is, the liberals started a "soft on crime" campaign across the whole country, much due to liberal county attorneys. I'll have to remember to blame Ron DeSantis the next time I drive through California & don't see anyone get pulled over, didn't realize the governor of Florida was at fault for all states.
this guy is gonna spend the rest of his life trying to point out that his constituents are hopelessly idiotic and ask them to behave. i admire his belief
That is a good example of the way we should all live our lives. You can’t always fix everything but if we all just try, we can make the world a better place.
😮 but unfortunately that would include the police. I've seen twice they chase someone down because they had a taillight out or too much tinted on the window. The person they chased was going the speed limit.
That's what I've always said too ..We have drivers from every state in the country and from around the world bringing their bad driving habits to Florida
I used to travel 60 on business when I worked for Westgate Resorts many times, this road is treacherous especially when there is little to no law enforcement. There have been deaths on this road in the past, I've seen the results. The area should be covered by state and county law enforcement to stop these people. I live in Marion county and I fear for my life at times because of the lack of enforcement, I'm sick of it.
Possibly more than 1 solution here, including responsible driving in the first place, stronger penalties for criminal speeding and for repeat offenders.
The road should have been widened years ago. It's the two lane sections with some moron driving 5-10 mph below the speed limit and they cause enormous backups and wreckless passing. I've driven very wrecklessly on that road, going up to 95mph and illegal passing to overtake some moron driving 50. In arizona, they will ticket you if your are driving below the speed limit causing a backup.
@@windycityliz7711 Because that moron who is barely driving 50 has a parade of cars behind them 12-15 cars deep. Now in the passing zones that last a mile or so, you must drive almost 100 to pass up the entire parade to get in front of that moron.
@@windycityliz7711 Probably because you want to pass fast enough before opposite traffic comes. 60 against 50 would take way too long to pass someone. You also have to factor in if that person decides to be a douche and speed up to not let you pass.
She had to have been sauced up, leaving the beach with the pedal to the floor. Just add alcohol, instant stupid. RIP to her victims, glad that her son survived but not glad about him losing his mother.
Hwy 60 needs to be 4 lanes both east and west bound from coast to coast in Florida. Florida needs more elevated roadways without intersections but with on/off ramps like interstate expressways. There is too much traffic traveling on inadequate roadways leading to dangerous and deadly accidents.
I drive up and down 95 on a semi regular basis, between NC and Baltimore. Cars like this, weaving in and out of lanes doing super speeds, are a dime a dozen these days and nights. It is getting bad out there.

It wouldn't matter bc we have plenty in Louisiana who don't have their license but drives anyway and usually recklessly to cause accidents and they here seem to live and the families are left devastated with no love one and they can't sue a lover with no insurance and they know it. They know usually nothing happens to them until they kill someone and then it's just jail that they don't fear bc again...they have nothing. We've had people that had 4 DUIs and until they killed someone nothing was done and like I said they just drive wo anything! It's hotrible!😢
40% ? more like 80%
@trevencarlson9338 It's not just in Florida. All around the US, infrastructure designed for travel is catered to those who own cars. Other countries have bullet trains, sidewalks, bike lanes, etc. Those are rare except in large cities. The car manufacturers are in catered to and good public transportation isn't available for the majority of people.
People here in Florida drive so damn fast it's ridiculous.
My heart breaks for the innocent grandparents killed in this crash, for the 3 year old little grandson, and for the other 3 year old who now has no mother. My grandma was killed crossing a road when she came out from the cemetery after visiting grandpa. It is the worst thing, the most hurtful, that ever happened in my life. I will grieve for her my whole life. Time lessens it a bit but the hurt is always there. She was the best person I've ever known. That was in 1970, almost 54 years ago now. How much better life would have been with my grandma. I pray for God's peace and strength to be given to the victims' families. This is a tragedy they will live with forever. 😭🙏
Thank you, sheriff, for bringing this to light! We spend tons of time driving down Hwy 60 & 70, nearly everyday I see some foolish person driving like an idiot!!!
I never get tired of listening to Grady. The world is a better place because of him. ❤
I say this every Sheriff Grady presser, but every state needs a Sheriff Grady.
I never thought I’d be a fan of a sheriff…this guy will always have my vote for the way he protects the county
He should run for president
Lived in Florida for 2 years. Traffic in Florida was the reason I moved back to Michigan. I’ve never in my life witnessed such recklessness as I did when I moved there. We were the victims of two hit and runs in the first month we were there. Developed PTSD and sat at home because I was so terrified to drive.
I and my ex-wife went down to Florida in 1991 to see my father near Naples. the drivers were crazy back then. can't imagine it now.
And most of them migrated from the northern states just to FYI
@@phil8212As a native, I can attest to this.
Lived in SWFL for 65 years. I saw more accidents caused by people from out of state. They would rather go straight across 3 lanes of traffic, than go down and turn around. Drove Daniel's parkway twice daily. You probably caused me to have PTSD. I am just adult enough to deal with it. You are a label person.
Traffic is bad because of Michigan and other northern state drivers moving to Florida.
Yes every county needs a Grady
Every county would benefit from this type of information and presentation!
22 yrs old driving 100+ mph?
There's your problem right there.
so it’s okay if you’re 30 to be going 100?
you think so ????????????
really ?
perhaps the problem is having cars capable of doing 100mph on public roads.
@@chriscampbell2670 The vehicle didn't cause the collision.
I love Grady Judd!
Grady for President!
I don't know about president, maybe Secretary of State or Transportation, possibly head of National Security. You know he'd have to clean up alot of corruption first.
I wish we all had someone like him in every state!!
GRADY ISN'T GAY !
HE MOLESTS HIS DOG EVERYONE KNOWS
Well said. We should see much more press conferences like this.
This guy needs to be the next Governor of FL
Funny, I called the police the other morning around 0500 southbound on I95 past the Fort Lauderdale airport and reported a car driving over 100 miles an hour, tailgating and cutting people off within inches, and the police didn’t seem to care. Even with the license plate, they asked “is the person just driving fast?” Get our traffic under control please!
Too bad the witness slowed down…that way the semi driver would have likely survived with not so serious injuries. She would have just offed herself
But he would've been traumatized by the wreck too.
My thoughts exactly!!!
Or she would have forced her way over
If he had not slowed down, he could have been injured or killed as a result of her head on with the semi. After a head on like that, parts or whole vehicles can go in different directions.
This man is a gem.
Average person has no idea what people go thru cleaning up broken crushed bodies in wrecks like this. They should post the graphic pictures as warnings to the public
You are an amazing sheriff, all states need someone like you. Sending prayers for the families. 🙏

Wow! So sorry for the families!
I despise drunk drivers, my nephew was home on leave after 4 combat tours, he was killed by a drunk driver and left in the road to die since the driver took off and left him there. The driver was found and sentenced but was only sentenced to 3 fricking years in prison.

And to Hannah's family. They didn't ask her to drive like a maniac
I have an adult son and I beg him to not be out driving after dark on weekends bc you’re sharing the road with drunk lunatics. I’ve had too many close calls and won’t drive at night unless absolutely necessary
Mr. Grady Judd I am sorry for this news of this horrific crash. Thank you for your professional, and caring demeaner. I have watched other statements from you and find you very refreshing. God bless you🙏❣️
YOUR A SORRY SACK
RIP, grandparents. ❤
Florida needs a super speeder law like Georgia has. I drive on I-95 around 80mph in ga and rarely get passed. I drove to Orlando 2 weeks ago and I was passed nonstop by people doing 95+.
When it rains they drive even faster in the far left lane with their emergency blinkers on.
@@punothebearsame attitude in Minnesota from Nov to April🗣️
I don't know how people survived in most of the 80s, before April 1987, 55 was the law even on the most wide open rural interstates, and Florida's Turnpike prior to 1988.

@@floridamarinemom1749bc there is evil out there. It isn’t his fault that people choose to do stupid things that unfortunately cause people to lose their lives. But God can’t stop people from making bad decisions or choices. He gives u a brain but it’s up to u to use it.
I grew up in the L.A. area. No 2-lane highways nearby, so I didn't understand the danger, until a friend explained it to me on a road trip we went on.
Thank you Bob. You were absolutely right.
And now I try to avoid them whenever possible, and stay on high alert if I have to drive one.
We are at the mercy of morons who are on the roads with us.
Prayers for all involved! 🙏🙏
I absolutely love this sheriff he is so respectful of victims & is just very professional and kind.
This is very difficult for first responders going to a call like this. I do wish them well and thank you for your service. Be safe.
she wont be doing that again....
No. I would think that one doesn’t get many chances in life to mix dehydration with a sunny day drinking excursion to the beach before speeding down the wrong way into on coming traffic. Carpe diem.
This is why im afraid to leave my house, esp. With my grandkids!

I guess not 🤷🏽♂️
REALLY, YOU THINK SO
thank you sheriff judd. i know it was hard but people need to be talked to more openly this way. there are consequences for your actions. be respectful and caring toward others and be mindful of making bad decisions. my heart goes out the the victims and their families and also the girl who caused the wrecks family.
That is so sad all the way around.
She had a 3 yo at home but spent the day at the beach getting wasted. SMDH.

Rest peacefully to all who lost their lives that day. 🙏
Best Sheriff in all of America.
I am so sad for those grandparents. What a tragic loss.
Luis and Jose weren't just grandparents, they were parents with 3 children, two still living at home.
How heartbreaking this is. My prayers go out for their families and friends. May God grant them comfort and peace. 🙏
I used to love traveling and just going for rides…I don’t anymore because there are just so many selfish drivers on the road with no regard for themselves or anyone else! It’s scary out there on the roads everywhere😢
I agree. The most dangerous place to be is on the road.
People drive like mental patients.
I live near Philthydelphia, PA and have been driving for about 40 years.
I always drive defensively and expect people to do stupid, illegal moves.
Drivers are more inept today than any time in decades.
The drivers manual is half the size it was in the 1980s.
Example: We used to have to memorize braking at three different speeds AND three different conditions (dry, wet and snow) but that was removed by the year 2000.
It's gotten worse with the Illegals, unlicensed, uninsured and drivers from third world countries.
Be safe out there. Peace.
I love these. Sure helps people to understand how serious these situations are. My heart goes out to all who lost a loved one(s). God bless ❤
So many are affected by this. Families, friends, first responders and tow drivers. It’s hard to be a part of things like this and not be affected. I remember some I towed in and cried later for. Still see some crashes to this day that stuck with me. Prays for all!
😯 100 mph ridiculous
I don't see cops pulling people over anymore. DeSantis needs to step up his game.
@@Republican-00769it's somehow DeSantis's fault cops don't pull people over as much?
What about other states that don't pull people over, do we blame DeSantis for that too?
The fact is, the liberals started a "soft on crime" campaign across the whole country, much due to liberal county attorneys.
I'll have to remember to blame Ron DeSantis the next time I drive through California & don't see anyone get pulled over, didn't realize the governor of Florida was at fault for all states.
Luckily she was in a car that'd only run 100mph, could of been in one that'd run 120-130 or more, baby and others could be gone too.

And to think, that near crash with the semi would have saved the lives of the grandparents.
BUT THEY HAVE ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE ANYWAY
Good grief! God bless grandma, grandpa and the little child, in fact two little children.

Thank you for your service
She had to be under something
Really? Ever drive on interstate 75? Yeah 80 to at least 100 mph left lane
Yeah, suicidal ideation.
I would guess tiktok brain. She looks like the type of white girl that uses the n word and says "I don't give a f" a lot.
It's called alcohol.
They found her beer can
In tampa too a lot of peoples driven very dangerous and road rage 😡
YOUR DRIVING TOO SLOW
I'm so sorry 😢
Prayers 🙏 up
Anything over 100 take their license away for 10yrs
Well she's dead, so.
How is no license going to stop anything??? There are people out there that NEVER had one & will NEVER get one
@@Anthony-yq7hk they do it again with no license. LIFE BEHIND BARS
@@Dustygoodzagreed
😮 but unfortunately that would include the police. I've seen twice they chase someone down because they had a taillight out or too much tinted on the window. The person they chased was going the speed limit.
So many States moved here to Florida that drive like a maniac
Ain't that the truth. 👍
So true, not only bringing their voting habits but their POOR driving abilities too....
That's what I've always said too ..We have drivers from every state in the country and from around the world bringing their bad driving habits to Florida
I've never seen more excessive speeding and tailgating than ever before the last few years since all these out of staters moved here.
So this woman was from out-of-state?
Prayers go out to the families affected. ❤🙏
Officer Judd never skips a beat. He has a no nonsense approach to everything and is very direct.
I used to travel 60 on business when I worked for Westgate Resorts many times, this road is treacherous especially when there is little to no law enforcement. There have been deaths on this road in the past, I've seen the results. The area should be covered by state and county law enforcement to stop these people. I live in Marion county and I fear for my life at times because of the lack of enforcement, I'm sick of it.
Possibly more than 1 solution here, including responsible driving in the first place, stronger penalties for criminal speeding and for repeat offenders.
The road should have been widened years ago. It's the two lane sections with some moron driving 5-10 mph below the speed limit and they cause enormous backups and wreckless passing. I've driven very wrecklessly on that road, going up to 95mph and illegal passing to overtake some moron driving 50.
In arizona, they will ticket you if your are driving below the speed limit causing a backup.
@@user-mm4nq7im4s Just curious: Why would anyone need to go 95 to pass someone going 50? Wouldn't 60 do it?
@@windycityliz7711 Because that moron who is barely driving 50 has a parade of cars behind them 12-15 cars deep. Now in the passing zones that last a mile or so, you must drive almost 100 to pass up the entire parade to get in front of that moron.
@@windycityliz7711 Probably because you want to pass fast enough before opposite traffic comes. 60 against 50 would take way too long to pass someone. You also have to factor in if that person decides to be a douche and speed up to not let you pass.
Praying!
Thoughts and prayers for all the deceased and their families! 💯🙏😥
She had to have been sauced up, leaving the beach with the pedal to the floor. Just add alcohol, instant stupid. RIP to her victims, glad that her son survived but not glad about him losing his mother.
Alcohol usually has the opposite effect, unless the drunk driver wants to unalive themselves.
Her son wasn’t in the car. The child was with his grandparents.
@@Deploracle
Depends on several different factors with alcohol. Just watched a video of someone arrested for DUI after a traffic stop for speeding.
@Deploracle the alcohol reacted to the lip fillers.
She was probably sauced up when she got knocked up as well
60 needs to have more speed traps
WHY
Hwy 60 needs to be 4 lanes both east and west bound from coast to coast in Florida. Florida needs more elevated roadways without intersections but with on/off ramps like interstate expressways. There is too much traffic traveling on inadequate roadways leading to dangerous and deadly accidents.
I drive up and down 95 on a semi regular basis, between NC and Baltimore. Cars like this, weaving in and out of lanes doing super speeds, are a dime a dozen these days and nights. It is getting bad out there.
