Just two of us.
Two people.
I suppose I can't, guys.

What?
Okay, ma'am, here's what's going to happen. Some guardsmen are going to come over to your
residence to help you get some personal belongings into your vehicle.
You're going to need to leave here very, very soon.

Yes, ma'am, you need to prepare to leave immediately, okay?
The guardsmen will be there very, very soon, so I would pack belongings, some blankets,
pillows, and whatever medications that you may have, and important papers that you have.
Probably.
Oh, gosh.
Okay?
We haven't been notified otherwise.
No, but you're very close to where the water is coming to, okay?
Well, they'll come through the alley, I gather, because it's not wet out there.
Okay, I don't know exactly where they're going to come through.
Just be able to be looking for them and be prepared to leave, okay?
Yes, ma'am.
