That would be this number, but the problem is they had to evacuate the EOC and they relocated
over at UND.
Okay.
And their numbers aren't up yet.
They're phone lines.
Okay.
So we're getting their rollover calls.
Yeah, I live in Grand Forks, but I'm in Grand Forks right now.
I lived this morning, but my mom was at 523 Walnut Street, and I don't know if she's evacuated
or not.
She doesn't have a phone, so I can't call her.
Okay.
Did she live in a house?
Yeah.
Okay.
Is it like a second story?
First story?
Well, basement, and then the first floor, second floor.
Okay.
The reason I ask that is because I know that that part of Grand Forks is getting a lot
of the backup from the drainage, so as far as the roads, it's probably air blocked, but
if she's got someone to go up, she should be okay.
If you could just maybe call this number back in like 20 minutes, I know it seems like a
long time, but the EOC center that handles all this had to evacuate.
That's fine.
I understand that.
And they're getting their calls back there.
Okay.
All right?
All right, thank you.
