Yeah, did you hear if all of East Grand Forks was considered mandatory?
I have not heard anything, we're asking for a voluntary evacuation of the entire city
of Grand Forks, but I don't know what's happened to East Grand Forks.
As Debbie said, she just heard Gary Sanders, somebody had called in and said, you know,
what do you consider to be whatever, and he said I consider the whole city to be a mandatory
evacuation.
That's possible.
I'm probably going to end up over at UND.
Is there water surrounding the police department now?
Pretty close.
It's by the Valley Dairy and then around back all the way.
Out front is fine, but the parking lot is filling too.
I don't know who to call to verify that.
The only thing I can tell you to do is listen to radio or watch channel 3.
We're not going to get anything from East Grand Forks right now anyway, because right
now they're, hold on just a second.
Long-person center.
Long-person center.
Oh, I'm sorry, I have the wrong number.
Sure.
Right now they're not doing any more flood fighting, they're just going to let it go.
Alright, bye-bye.
Okay.
Okay?
Okay.
Bye.
Love you, bye.
