Okay, about what?
About the fact that we're going to evacuate.

Okay, we're recommending a voluntary evacuation of the entire city of Grand Forks at this time.
The entire city?
Yes.
Okay, well if we evacuate, what's the safest way to go?
Okay, as far as I know, you can get to the Grand Forks Air Force base.
How you get there, I don't know.
There's water on quite a few of the roads, and any time you see water, you should not go through it.
Not go through it?
Right.
Okay.
What about I-29 going south?
That I don't know, ma'am.
I can give you a number that you can call to find out what the road conditions are.
