I was wondering, if I live up on the second floor of an apartment building, are they still
recommending that...
We're recommending that everyone evacuate on a voluntary basis from the city of Grand
Forks.
And go where?
The shelters currently in town are Red River High School, the Grand Forks Armory on 49th
Street, the Emerito Fire Department, and the Grand Forks Air Force Base.
Oh, okay, so if we drive out west of town, we can get out west of town?
Yes.
Okay, because I live just a block off of Columbia Road.
Okay, the Columbia Road, from Columbia Road to 42nd Street is blocked, so you'd have
to probably go down to university.
Oh, go down to university.
That's the same way we got out to see a good river tonight.
Okay.
And then just go off from there?
Yep.
Okay, thank you.
Okay.
Yep, bye.
Bye.
