Well I was, but I know there's a woman living in a house, her son was probably coming in
tonight from Minneapolis.
Okay.
He probably was coming in last night, but she's getting really, really confused.
Okay.
And he won't answer her door, you'd think the house is empty because she's hard of hearing.
Where is this at?
It's Central Park being evacuated.
Yep, they're evacuating now.
612 South 4th Street.
612 South 4th Street?
Yeah.
Okay, and she's hard of hearing.
I have to take a broomstick and tap on the windows, her bedroom window is, the broomsticks
are sitting by her back door and I tap on her window and her bedroom window is the one
by the front door.
I tap on all three windows on the side to wake her up.
Okay, how old is she?
She's about, I don't know, she won't admit her age.
She thinks she tells her age to 60, but she's about 87, 85.
Okay.
And what is her name?
Elizabeth Erickson.
She does, she said she had her bag packed to make sure she gets her pills.
They're right in the kitchen.
Okay, and is she coming over to your place then or is she going to the civic auditorium
or is she supposed to go to the shelter, is that where she just needs help in evacuating?
Her son's going to be coming.
He's coming from Minneapolis tomorrow?
Today.
Okay.
He thought he was coming last night.
No one answered at the house.
Okay, just a second.
Yeah.
I'll be right back with you, okay?
Don't hang up.

Okay, I will have somebody go over there and help her get out, okay?

I'm sorry, 775-5033?
Yeah.
Okay.
And if they call me and they want to take her someplace, I'll meet her someplace.
Okay.
What they'll do is they'll help her get out and get her to a shelter and then-
Will you let me know?
I can try.
We're in so far.
Okay.
Okay.
But I will-
Put a note on the door where they, you know, for the sun, that we have picked her up and
taken her some place.
