I'd like to know if that evacuation is a part of North 4th Street or are they on high ground?
Where are you at on North 4th Street?
10-15 North 4th Street.
Anything east of Reeves Drive in the Wycombe Park area, they are evacuating. It's a mandatory evacuation.
At this time we are also evacuating Riverside and Central Park area.
What they are advising the whole city to do is get everything out of their basement.
Well, everything that they can that's valuable. Get it on the highest level possible.
And I guess what I'd say, if you have a place to go that's better than where you're at, I'd go.
But then it's not mandatory that we go?
You live at 10-4th Street?
No, 10-15 over in the back of Wilder School or back by the North End Dairy Queen over here.
Okay, they are evacuating the Riverside area at this time.
C&R Laundry?
Yeah, they are evacuating Riverside Drive. The dike may fail.
Oh, but that must be high ground here.
I guess I'm not certain.
Like I said, what they are advising the whole city to do is get everything out of their basement and move it to the highest level.
But didn't you say the Riverside dikes are not really...
Okay, ma'am. Ma'am, we've got other calls right now that we have to take, okay?
Yep.
Bye.
