Yes, I'm calling because I have an aunt in Grand Forks and I'm calling from Can-do,
North Dakota and she is on 1018 Cottonwood and I don't know if she's in any danger.
They're asking for a voluntary evacuation of the entire city of Grand Forks at this
time.
The entire city?
Yes, ma'am.
Voluntary evacuation right now?
Mm-hmm.
Then I need to get, is there any problem getting to her house?
Right now I would say no, but that changes minute by minute.
So you would recommend driving down there tonight to get her out.
Is there any possibility that she'd drive herself?
Well, I don't know what her situation is.
I think she's in a lot of pain.
Okay.
Is there a neighbor that could help her possibly that you know of or another relative in town?
The other relatives have evacuated as I understand that they were in East Grand Forks.
No, they were in Grand Forks by, they were in East Grand Forks, I'm sorry.
Okay.
This is what I would recommend.
Give her a call.
Yes.
We'll talk about what her status is.
If she needs some help, then give us a call or have her give us a call and we'll try to
get the National Guardsman over there to get her to a bus or something like that so she
can get to a shelter.
Okay, thank you.
Yep.
