Okay, so we have New Orleans New Orleans here. And what do we know? That they descend? So they go down 12 from to send 12 from five feet above the five feet above. Could be a positive number, but they descended 12 from fives. We started at five. Use descended 12. You went down by 12 and you end up at negative seven feet and negative here. We mean below sea level, so you can write it out. Seven feet. Cool. Oh, sea level.
