Hello.
Hey Diane.
Hi.
Yeah.
How is life?
Any new updates?
No.
It's still pretty quiet.
My mom just called.
She wanted to know if we wanted to bring the kids and the dogs to Pelican Rapids.
That's what I was calling.
Ah.
They predicted it's going to be like, I know you don't know, but do they predict it's going
to get worse here?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
We just had somebody come in and the water's right at the top of Lincoln Park.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
I don't know what to do.
Can you get there?
Do you know?
Can I get to Detroit Lakes?
You know.
Which way do you go?
You can go on I-29, but I think Hillsboro and Fargo must be all blocked.
Yeah.
You end up going west at Hillsboro.
Oh, really?
Mm-hmm.
That's like an hour detour.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
They'll have detour signs, right?
Yep.
It'll take you probably about two hours to get to Fargo.
Oh, God.
Oh, I don't know what to do.
It will or will not?
It will.
Oh, Terry.
You just went there, didn't you?
Mm-hmm.
About how long can it take?
Mm-hmm.
About how long can it take?
Mm-hmm.
About how long can it take?
Mm-hmm.
About how long can it take?
Mm-hmm.
About how long can it take?
At least two hours to Fargo.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
I figure something out here.
She's all worried because she doesn't think they're going to...
They won't take dogs, but they'll...
They bring anything to my father and grandma.
...shelters.
They won't?
No.
Not, well, I could bring them somewhere, but I don't want to...
They're my little babies.
Well, yeah.
Okay.
Well, I just had to call to see if we knew anything different.
Yeah.
I think the water's probably going to go over the top of the dike.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I wonder how far it'll go.
Well, it's at 52.19 feet right now.
It's supposed to get at least a 53.
It's another foot.
Oh, God.
But if it just goes over the top, you should be okay where you are.
Yeah.
But if it breaks, then you might get water.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
I wouldn't think a whole lot, but it's possible.
Okay.
Well, thank you.
You're welcome.
We'll talk to you later.
