We live on a fire block of Walnut and they're talking about voluntary evacuation right now.
If we can't drive out of here and I don't think we can walk in this freezing water,
are they going to make something if they have to get out of here for sure?
Okay. We're asking that you prepare for evacuation at this time.
If you have that problem already, I would leave now.
I can try to get somebody over there from the National Guard to help you out.
Do you want to have somebody or?
I wonder. Right now it's voluntary though, right?
Right.
I guess we'll sit and wait and watch.
Okay.
Water hasn't been rising for a while now, so.
Okay.
But we can get help if we need to.
I can't guarantee that. It may be a helicopter drop in or it may be by boat.
Okay. Thank you very much.
Okay.
