We live at 3532 11th Avenue North, right off Sanford Road, we were wondering if we need
to evacuate or what the deal is, I hate to take your time, but we don't really know.
We're good college students here.
Okay, the only thing I can tell you right now is the Emergency Operations Center had
to evacuate from here and they went over to the university and their lines are still down,
we're taking their calls, but we don't have a lot of information.
So you really don't know?
No, the only thing else I can tell you is they've called for a voluntary evacuation
of Grand Forks.
That means if you have some place to go out to the city, they're recommending it because
they don't know what the river's going to do through the night.
Okay, we're on the third floor, so we're not.
Oh, okay.
The other thing I'd suggest is just call the summer back in like a half an hour and hopefully
their lines will be up and they can help you out more.
Call the same, it'll be back at UND then.
We're hoping.
They told us like the last hour is going to be back up and it's not back up yet, but they're
working hard on our line.
Okay, so we recommend you stay the same where we're at here.
Yep, that should be okay unless somebody comes and tells you to leave.
Okay, thank you ma'am.
Bye.
