Yeah, I hate to bother you, I know you folks are busy, but I didn't catch the last siren
and the TV announcement.
What part of North 4th Street was that, was it south or north on the 700 block?
South 4th Street, 100 to 700 block, south 4th.
On the south, okay, so down by Riverside, it wasn't the one on the Riverside Park area
there, okay.
Riverside Park, Lincoln Park, that whole area is mandatory evacuation.
But only up to 3rd Street, right?
Yeah, if I was close, I would get everything out and go.
Pardon?
If I was close, I would get everything out and go from place.
Well, I'm on 5th.
South 5th Street, 100 to 600.
No, I'm on north 5th down that way.
North 5th is not yet, no.
Yeah, no.
I know it's down about two blocks from me, I can see them evacuating there, but.
If I were that close, I would be ready to go immediately.
I'm ready to go.
Okay, I would go even if I had the chance right now.
It's getting close.
Do you think the evacuation will be expanded then?
It will be shortly.
Soon.
I can't say for sure, but.
For north 4th and 5th Street and them too?
Yep.
Okay.
Okay, thank you.
