911.
Yes, this is 911 emergency, this is Chief Johnson from Amaretto.
Okay.
Can you pass a message on DOT people for me?
Okay.
Okay, we're going to be sending back two pallets of sandbags filled from Amaretto, and I still
have about 2,000 empties in the back of my pickup.
They'd like to have them back, but I think we're out of the woods out here, things look
pretty good.
Okay, you're sending back two pallets full of filled sandbags.
Yep.
2,000 empty bags, if we need them, you also have those.
Right, yep.
Okay, what's your number if I need to get ahold of you back?
747, 3947.
3947, I'll let them know.
Also, I told Red Cross I don't want up the fire hall out here as an emergency shelter
for a few people to work nice and high and dry.
Okay.
I just don't have hot water for showers.
Okay.
I do have hot water, but I just don't have a shower rigged up.
I think people will be happy with whatever.
It depends on if these bags are going to hold on.
It doesn't look good.
Yeah, I know.
That's why I said we're nice and high and dry up here.
Even everything to the west is really slowed down this morning, going way, way down.
Bigger share of it's gone through by the looks of things, so I don't think we've got any
problems.
Oh, that's great.
I'll let them know, okay?
Okay, I'm sorry to bother you on this line, but I can't get through any other way.
Yeah, I understand.
That's fine.
Thank you.
