Law Enforcement Center?
Yes, I was wondering how I find out if I'm in the floodplain, the 100-year floodplain
plan we call it.
I have no idea.
All I know is that everybody in the city is going to get some water.
Yeah, I understand that, but they're recommending that the ones in the 100-year floodplain
evacuate.
Where are you at?
I'm at 410 Oak Street.
Yes, you need to evacuate.
I need to?
You need to.
I have to leave.
Well, I can't make you leave, but we're telling you to evacuate.
No, I'm not.
But I mean, I'm going to try to stay here as long as possible because I've got thousands
of dollars worth of fish here.
So I can live in the river, huh?
You're in the 400 where?
I'm right where those big apartments are, right by Demers Overpass.
Yeah, the Demers.
Right by the Demers Overpass.
The loop has got, Demers has got four to five feet of water on it.
Where?

Cherry and Forest Avenue South there, that area.
Oh.
It's got four to five feet of water, so.

All right.
That's good.
Okay.
Bye.
