Well, the way Byron talked is that we were starting with Lincoln Drive, then we're going
to go to the other parks and the low-lying areas, and then the rest of the city. What
they're concerned about is people that are in a basement or a garden level that they
would get water, and he feels the streets will be inundated with water if the day goes.
Okay. How about Great Plains Coordinate Area?
Yeah, they've got water coming over parts of that Belmont Road there, so I don't, you
know, I guess it's hard to say. I don't know the level of all these streets, you know,
and once the water finds an area, I guess I don't know.
Right.
I live on 23rd Avenue South, and I'm telling my kids to make sure they're on the first
floor to take anything out of the basement as far as...
There's like down by the Optimus Park.
On 47th?
Yeah.
Yeah, see, they've got water coming over the road on the 200 block of 47th Avenue South.
Oh, really?
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
Mm-hmm.
We had a guy that couldn't keep up on Sloping Hills.
What's that?
A guy on Sloping Hills had to let the water come into his basement last night.
Really?
He couldn't keep up, yeah, so...
Jesus.
I know.
Huh?
I know it's scary. I guess we can't tell. I can't tell somebody how far the water's
going to go, but the way Byron talks, you know, we're going to sound it citywide, so
just to let people know.
Yeah, really.
I suppose nobody really knows how far it'll go.
Yeah.
We'll stop.
Yeah.
Okay.
Alrighty.
Thanks.
