Hi, you guys have evacuated the Riverside Park area?
Yes, we have.
We're located on the other side of Highway 81 and by Gateway Drive, by the extension
of Columbia Road.
What happens there?
Is that part of the evacuation, or?
Um, just a second.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, that's not specifically part of the area, but if you feel there's danger there
that you should evacuate.
If the dike does go, Mayor Pero and some stuff are saying that it might go up to Gateway,
which is fine as best as far as the south end of it is concerned, but how far west?
Is that any clue?
No, that's really hard to say, it depends on where it breaks and how much of it breaks.
I think we're about five feet here higher than it is down there, so I guess that's some
comfort I guess.
Okay, thank you.
You're welcome.
Appreciate that.
Bye.
