Law enforcement center. Is this the police? Yes it is. Say, I called you before and you
gave me the number for the, for Uptown. I was wondering about getting my car up in that
ramp and of course they don't, they don't answer. I get a, you know, I get the, their,
their, what do you call it? The machine that they're going, they'll call me back but they
don't do it. Do you think I would dare take my car up and if it's open, put it up on the
ramp? Just a minute. Law enforcement center. Yes, hi. This is Lori Matheson. I live on
Walnut Street. Yes. Told to evacuate this morning. We were mandatory evacuation on this
street that there would be security here. Yes. There is absolutely no security. People
without passes are all over through our neighborhood. Yes. And we're a little concerned about it.
Okay ma'am, we're doing the best we can. We're still trying to get other areas evacuated.
There will be security there as soon as we have enough people. And when does that, when
do you plan on having enough people? I couldn't answer that question. I don't know how long
it will take to evacuate ma'am. One of my neighbors just said there was like 300 people
here earlier this afternoon. Okay, like I said, we're trying to get people out there
as soon as we can. Well then I'm coming back to my house. Thanks for holding. Can I help
you? Yes, I'm just wondering if you know quite a few people from Barley Court, which you
already know this, have called for sand. I just wonder if there's any more coming out
or if you can make sure that the message gets passed. We need, we do need more if they
have it. From what I understand, they are not delivering sand anymore. You need to come
pick it up. Oh, you're kidding. No, it sounds like they've gotten behind and they can't
deliver it. Okay, so where do they go? Well, what number did you call just now? 7462685.
Okay. You still need to go through EOC to get a ticket number so that they'll release
sand to you. Okay. But that number. My husband's working down there. I should be able to try
him, you'd think. You'd think so. It's okay. My phone's beeping now. It might be him. Okay.
Is there another number I should try? No, that's the right number but it must have been
busy so it rolled over to us upstairs. Oh, great. Alright, thanks. Yep, bye.
