Can you give me an evacuation route from Chestnuts and Cottonwood at 17,000 south going west?
I don't know what the streets are like at this time.
You can try heading west and possibly as soon as you can get to Washington, then head northbound to Meuse.
But any time you see water, I would try to avoid that as much as possible.
All right, so you don't really have any planned evacuation?
There is no route because each street is being inundated on its own and it's a minute-by-minute thing.
Okay, well what about the airbase acceptance of 10,000? Do they have an acceptance of any kind?
I have no idea, sir. You've got the 911 center and we haven't gotten any information on that portion of it.
How about going south? Anything going south?
That I don't know.
All right. Thank you.
