My mother-in-law called me and told me that all Grand Forks were supposed to prepare to evacuate.
Volunteer evacuation.
So there are some areas that we are evacuating, but the rest of the city is volunteer.
Okay, I live across the street from the hospital.
At this point you'd be under volunteer evacuation?
Do you think it would be wise that I did? I have three small children.
Do you live in a basement or ground floor apartment?
I live on the second floor.
Second floor, you probably will not get water up there, but you're going to get water.
Is there anybody else there?
Okay, probably stranded basically, huh?
Yeah, I don't know how much water will get to your area. I can't tell you that.
All I know is that people are going to get water.
Is there any way to leave town or airport open or anything?
Yep, Highway 2 is open. Amaretto's got room.
Amaretto Fire Hall's got room for three to five hundred people.
The base is open, so if you want to head out on Highway 2 you can.
Okay, all right. Thank you. Bye-bye.
