0:00.0	Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matterese. And before I get started with the episode today,
0:05.0	I just like to take care of the usual housekeeping. For starters, paid requests are now reopened.
0:10.4	If you're interested in submitting a disaster request, please double-check the list of requests
0:14.0	I most recently posted to the podcast, Facebook and Tumblr to make sure your request has not
0:19.9	already been made. Also, please look through past
0:22.3	episodes to verify I haven't already covered the disaster in question. To submit a request, you can
0:27.5	send a donation of $30 or more to the podcast, PayPal at Disasterarea at Mail.com, or on Venmo
0:35.0	at Disaster Area Podcast, or on Cash App at Disaster Area Pod.
0:39.9	Just add the name of the disaster to the notes on your donation.
0:43.8	If you have an idea for an episode subject, but you're not sure if it qualifies,
0:47.5	feel free to message me and I can approve one way or the other,

0:56.1	So just keep that in mind. I have a very open mind when it comes to disasters. The subject from this particular episode was
1:01.4	chosen by Ashley, and I'd like to thank them for the request and for the donation. Now, if you'd
1:07.5	still like to help support the podcast in another way, you can do so with a one-time donation through PayPal, Venmo, or cash app, or on a per-episode basis through
1:14.8	Patreon at www.com slash disaster area podcast.
1:19.8	A per-episode donation of even as little as a dollar an episode can help me do things
1:24.3	like pay the rent and keep the lights on.
1:27.0	And if you do join the Patreon,
1:28.3	you will get new episodes ad-free as soon as I record them rather than waiting until they
1:32.9	are released. So if you do become a patron, I would very much appreciate it. You can also
1:37.7	follow the podcast on Facebook at Disaster Area Podcast, on Instagram at Disaster Area Pod,
