law enforcement center. Hi, is this the EOC? No, it is not. What's happening is they're
getting a high number of calls down there and they're rolling up to us. Alright, well
I have a, can you answer questions or not? I can. Okay, I live on the 1200 block on Chestnut
and I'm concerned if we should be staying there tonight? I would go someplace if I had
someplace else to go because the water's coming up at Reeds Drive very quickly. Okay. So if
I've got someplace else to go, I would go if I were you. Do you know how, do you have a map
there that goes to elevations because it basically gets stuck up in an upstairs attic? I would just
get anything that you cannot salvage in the flood, like pictures, photos, anything like that. Get it
to the top floor and then get medications, pillows, blankets for anybody and immediate
clothes and then I would go. Alright. Okay. Alright. Bye. How about that?
Like I said, I can't say Reeds Drive is coming up really fast and I'm not underestimating,
I'm really fast. It's coming up to their eyeballs fast. It's coming up to their eyeballs fast.
Yeah. Okay. Appreciate your help. You're welcome, thanks. Bye.
