Nothing.
Can you give me a status on, I know you had some evacuations this morning on basically
what took place overnight with the flooding?
We I guess are not, we're evacuating all the park areas, they're worried that there may
be some failure in the dike in the Lincoln Park area, so they're evacuating all the areas
that are close to the river first to make sure that everyone is safe for their own safety.
They're advising anyone that has any basement floors, I mean any people living in basement
departments or anyone used to bring them up to a main level in the whole city because
if those dikes fail we don't know what will happen from there.
Do you have an idea on how many people are being asked to evacuate?
I guess I have no idea, ELC would be the best department to contact for that.
Okay, that's 746-2685?
Yep.
Okay and we can just call that number?
Yep, we're probably pretty busy and we might have to try back a few times but that's the
number.
Okay, thank you much.
Yep.
