Okay, ma'am. It's all full of water. I don't know if Maine is broken.
It's probably the street is being inundated through the storm sewers.
The water is coming up through the Lincoln Drive area that already has water in it,
and it's being pushed through the storm sewers, so it's probably coming up through the storm sewers.
Oh, we won't be flooded then, will we?
That potential is there, yes ma'am. At least true, it would be considered kind of like an overland flooding situation,
unless the dike gives way and then it's the whole river.
Oh, well then what do we do?
Okay, I would be prepared to evacuate at a moment's notice.
The 500 block on Cherry?
Yes, ma'am.
Well, it will be over the TV then, won't it?
They will sound the sirens and they will go up and down the streets and tell you to evacuate immediately, yes.
Oh brother, I wonder where else we're going to go.
Yeah, okay then.
