I live on Cherry Street on 3720. Okay, what now we're telling people is they're
trying to evacuate everybody out of the Lincoln Park area. That's what the sirens are going
off for. We're also going to be selling the sirens for any of the other low-lying areas
by the parks, and then we're going to go citywide. Okay, if you live in a garden-level
apartment or a basement, we want you to be able to move up to at least the first floor.
Oh my, what happened? Did something break? Well, not yet, but the Lincoln Park dike is
in danger of failing, so we're just notifying people ahead of time.
Is the whole town going to go? Their water could come through the town, yeah.
Oh my goodness, how high would it be? I have no idea. All we're telling you is
that, you know, if you're in a basement, you get to the first floor, okay?
Okay, thank you. Bye-bye.
