Hello?
Diane?
Yeah.
This is me.
Hi.
Calling you back.
Yeah.
What's the deal?
Well, the river's coming up faster.
Really?
What's it at right now?
We haven't seen the current level, but it's over 52.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
It doesn't sound like they're not going to do that yet, but I just wanted you to prepare
since you had all those kids.
Really?
Yeah.
Why?
What are they thinking?
That everybody would go out there or what?
They would have to do that.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Is it safe for them to play outside?
That's where I was.
I was getting everybody's bikes down out of the garage.
Oh.
Okay.
Yeah.
They're okay, aren't they?
Yeah.
Okay.
We should have some notice before they do that, and I'll call Troy as soon as we do,
and I'll call you, and he'll come get the kids, so that way you can prepare your kids.
My God.
Why?
Everybody would just go out to the Air Force base?
Yep.
Really?
How come they would go out there?
I mean, it's okay out there?
Just a second.
What, Terry?
It's both sides.
It's both sides.
Because the water wouldn't reach that far.
Really?
Yeah.
I know.
So if they get to get any, if the dike gets any weaker, I think they might do that, because
the force of the dike would.
I know.
Yeah.
Cool.
Okay.
And also, we're probably going to be moving out here, because we're going to get water
in the basement.
So if we do that, we're going to get water in the basement.
Okay.
Okay.
Bye.
