We're evacuating Lincoln Park and then we're going to be sounding sirens for the other
parks that are low lying within the city, the Lincoln Park dike is in danger of failing.
If that occurs, water will come through the city, so the rest of the city, we're telling
people to, if you have anything in your basement, have it up on your first floor, including
my area, everybody's area, because once that water comes through, it'll inundate the streets,
so if somebody's sleeping, I don't know if they're sleeping downstairs or whatever, but
you may want to have it on the first floor.
Okay, but they're saying, oh that's good, yeah, I just wanted to let you know right
now, like I say, it's that Lincoln Park that they're trying to get the nursing home evacuated
right now.
Okay.
So, and then we're going to continue sounding the sirens for the rest of the parks, like
Riverside, Central, some of those, and then, and it's in danger, it's in danger of failing.
Yeah, and then if that happens, we could even get water here.
You could get water there, yep, so we're trying, the reason the rest of the city is going to
be sounded is because anybody in a basement or a garden level could get water.
Okay.
So we're trying to let these people know about it, so I wanted to let you know, and I guess
you can let people you know know about it.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
