Hi.
Hey, I'm going to go home.
What's the status everywhere around here?
Well, at this point we're completely evacuating Lincoln Park, then we're going to start with
the other parks.
Are they going over the top or are they running?
They think that the dike is going to fail.
They think it's going to fail.
They do think it is.
And then the streets are going to get inundated.
We're going to go city-wide with the sirens in a while.
Well, how long have we been in it?
We haven't even started with the other parks yet.
We're trying to get the nursing home cleared out here and Lincoln Park and all of Lincoln
Park out.
Then we're going to start with the other parks because some of the other dikes are starting
to erode also.
So they're going to lose the whole town?
Yeah.
We're going to get water throughout the town.
They feel the streets will get inundated.
So where's everybody going to pull back to?
I have no clue.
Where are you guys going?
I have no clue.
No idea, but you better drive now.
Does everybody know this?
We just told UND.
Okay.
What's their thoughts?
What did UND say when you get broadcasted?
Anything?
They didn't say.
I'm assuming people at the university are aware of this.
I don't know.
Okay.
Well, I'm going to go walk over there then and talk to them and see what the heck they're
thinking.
Yeah.
Do that.
Okay.
