Hi.
Hi.
Huh, was Kelli supposed to go sandbagging?

Yeah, she is.
She should not go.
They're building a dike at 37th and Belmont.

Yeah.
They're building a dike.

So I don't think she's going to get to where she's going.
They're building a dike there.
They're also, Cherry Street has water coming up in the manhole covers in the 2700 block.
Yeah, I know where she is.
Okay.
Well, I don't know.
You just see where she is now.
Kelli?
Kelli's on the floor.
There's other things we thought about.
Well, it's slow.
It's going everywhere.
But we're just going to keep, you know, it's slow.
Nothing is breaking.
The dikes are just, you know, slow everywhere.
So.
They're going to, Belmont's going to end up being a whole dike by the end of today.
So I don't know if she's going to be able to go over there and get back.
No.
I'm still going to go down to Civic Center first to get it right.
I don't know what to do.
Here she is.
Okay.
Are you still working?
Yeah.
Are you going to work around the clock or something?
Well, for sure.
We'll be here for a while.
All right.
All right.
What's Craig doing?
He's sandbagging.
He got home at seven.
He was making sandbags.
He's at home now.
Oh, he's at home?
Yeah, he just got home at seven.
Everything all right?
You'll see there?
He said everything so far.
So he was just going to, he plugged up the washer hole and unplugged the dryer and washer.

Okay.
Hello?
Hi.
Hi.
They're building a dike in the 3700 block of Belmont right now.
Okay.
And you're going on the other side of Belmont, aren't you?
Well, we've changed plans.
Brian has some.
Yep.
Because some friends are moving in.
They're moving out of their house and into his house, their stuff, because they're right
by south.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm just letting you know because that area's really bad.
They're going to have to evacuate on the south area.
They have water and cherry already in Belmont.
They evacuated 13, 1700 blocks.
Yeah, they're right in there.
There's chestnuts all the way over, so I'm just letting you know they're putting up
dikes everywhere, so be careful where you go so you don't get blocked in.
Yeah, we will.
We'll keep calm while we're going.
Okay.
Thank you.
All right.
Okay, bye.
