Hello?
Hi there.
Right now they're asking for a voluntary evacuation of the city.
They're saying the water is starting to come up.
It came up over two feet already.
Two feet?
Yep.
Up over the dikes.
It's half a block from the station right now.
What are you talking about?
Two feet where?
Coming up over the dikes in Lincoln Park.
The water is coming up in the sewers.
We're at the nearest one at 10 o'clock and they're looking for a voluntary evacuation, having you go to the air base.
Go to the air base?
Yeah.
So I don't know.
I'm going to give Jenny a call and have her come home.
Well, I don't know if you should leave or not though.
I can't tell you.
All I know is what they're going to ask for.
The only way that we can make you leave is if the governor declares it mandatory and then the guard rules request that you're out.
Well.
I don't know what to tell you.
I don't either.
I'll get back to you.
All right.
Bye.
