Yes, ma'am. What's the status for people in Park Manor west of the interstate?
At this point it's voluntary evacuation of the whole city.
I understand that. But as far as our imminent danger of water out here?
That I couldn't tell you. I don't know where the water is.
POC probably can and their line should be coming up in about 10 to 15 minutes.
As far as I know you are not in an area of evacuation right now.
Okay. Okay. Because we had gotten a phone call, you know, and was saying about this voluntary evacuation.
A friend of the family here called.
Yeah, as far as I know everybody is going to get water. I just can't tell you how much.
Everybody is going to get water.
That's what they're saying.
Okay. Okay. Even on this side of the interstate?
Yeah, I don't know if it will get that far out. All I know is we're telling people it's volunteer.
What's the latest breaks?
I'd say in the last hour and a half.
Riverside was a tough one. It's still coming over to Lincoln Park. We've got Central Park.
My house was underwater before noon. I lived down on Petrolia Street.
Yeah, my daughter lived down on Memphis. She laughed at us too.
We're getting water toward the police department here now.
Are you?
Yep.
Okay. Has there been any other breaches that you know of?
Not that I know of. Like I say, POC is the one that you'd have to contact.
Yeah, well I called them at first. It was busy.
Right. Well, what's happening is all of their lines aren't set up yet, so we're getting a rollover in the police department.
They should have their lines up in the next 10 minutes or so. Okay?
Good.
All right. Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
