telephone lines yet? I have just one question. Okay. I don't know if you can answer it. We'll try.
I live over by the Diamond Bar, which is about the 700 block of South 19th Street. Okay.
Now I remember in 79, the English school only got up to South 19th Street. Okay, we're recommending a
voluntary evacuation of the entire city at this time. Do you know where the 100th
year flood came from? It doesn't matter at this time, sir. The entire city of Grand
Forks is going to get water. The entire city? Yes, sir. Because in 79 we were told this
neighborhood was the highest area. It doesn't, we're beyond that. This is
probably the 500 year flood. And are we blowing out lift stations all over the city? I have no idea, sir.
Because I know we're plugged as far as our drains go. I don't know. We're at the 9-1-1 Center and we're getting all the
carry over all the phones. So we're getting inundated with phone calls. So I have no idea.
The only thing I can tell you is that it's a voluntary evacuation at this time. Okay. Well, thank you.
