I have a handicapped daughter, do you think it will be flooding out here tonight?
Um, I guess we don't know, at this time I think Parker Manor isn't in threat at all,
I mean isn't in threat from now, it's just in the downtown Grand Park and the park areas
right now.
Okay, so you don't think I have to worry and...
Well, I guess if you feel uncomfortable I'm safe, it might not be a bad idea to get yourself
ready to leave, or you know, if you have a different place to go it's not a bad idea
to do so in case we have to leave.
So, Margaret High School is one of the shelters.
Are they kind of getting killed?
They may be getting fooled, I know that M.I.N.O.
Fire Department says that they have their fire hall as a shelter.
You know, if they evacuated Parker Manor here, they will let us know though.
Yes, the sirens will sound and there will be officers of the National Guard out there.
Okay, and they'll come out over the wall and say this is a mandatory evacuation of the
area?
Because I don't know how...
Yeah, and if you have a radio or Channel 3, they're giving evacuations at the same time
we're sending them out, okay?
So that will help you, yep.
