Is 407 Pakenham in that evacuation? They said five to seven hundred. I don't know if they're
saying the Lincoln Park area is being evacuated. Next and after that they're going to be going
through the low lying areas to follow. Why did they follow you? Can you check? It's 407
Pakenham and that's the 400 block of Pakenham. Pakenham 400? P-A-K-E-S. Oh, that's right
in the Lincoln Park area. No, I know, ma'am. I'm telling you, they said the five to seven
hundred blocks. You need to get out if you live at that residence. That is being evacuated.
That whole area, from there up to El Monte Reeves, that whole area is being evacuated.
All right, well they're giving the wrong addresses on the radio then. They're just saying five
to seven hundred on the Pakenham. Well, I would take my chance and leave. Ma'am, sir?
What? Sir? What? The dike could be failing. We need you out of there now. Okay, thanks.
