Hello.
Hi there.
Are you alright?
Yeah, I'm just trying to get some of our clothes up here.
Well, don't worry about what you don't get.
Don't worry about...
Why don't you fill, like, some containers with water?
And if we don't, if our water supply goes, we have water.
Just leave them on the counter until, you know, we'll put them in the fridge later,
like any of the Tupperware or anything that you can, you know, Kool-Aid things.
Just fill them with water.
Am I going to have to eventually leave here?
You?
Yes.
No.
When Ron comes, if you want to head to the hospital, you can.
We should probably end up being, you know, kept there.
I'm not going to be kept there.
What I'm wondering, though, is, I mean, it seems like it's flooding all around here.
It's not going to hit here.
I don't know.
I can't tell you where it will and what it won't.
I can't even tell you if he'll get out.
Okay.
Okay.
Alright.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
