Is that like to Red River High School?
I think I'm in the 500.
Yeah, just one more place please.
Are you still there ma'am?
Yes.
Okay, I've been asking here and from what I've told the voluntary is they're asking people that if they can get out of Grand Forks it's probably for the best because they don't know, you know, it's still rising.
But Red River is still a shelter if you want to go to Red River High School but I don't know if that's any better than where you're at right now.
And the other thing they're saying is...
Are they saying the Air Force Base?
You can, they're opening up the Air Force Base I know but I don't know, you'd have to call back on this number for the EOC because I don't know how they're coordinating that with the Air Base.
Okay.
I'm thinking, well otherwise we could go to Crookston but...
Yeah, Crookston, I've heard that is also a viable option if you know somebody there, they're also opening up a high school there.
Okay, I see. So you passed off the candy?
Yep, the candy is still open.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thanks.
