Yes, I just had a friend call me. She just woke me up and said that the city is on alert.
Yes, it is.
And I'm just wondering, I didn't hear the warning, so I'm just wondering if you could
repeat that for me.
Well, they sounded the sirens because they are evacuating the Riverside Park, the Central
Park and the Lincoln Park areas.
Okay.
Okay, there's some problems with the dike.
Uh-huh.
Okay. If you're in a basement, you need to get out of the basement. Okay. Make sure

Okay.
Okay.
Is that throughout all town?
I guess I would do that if I, just to be safe.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay, thank you.
Mm-hmm. Bye.
