Yeah, right now what they're doing is a voluntary evacuation of everything east of Washington.
East of Washington?
Yep.
Okay.
If I'm on 17th Street and 17th Avenue, am I going to be pretty safe through the night,
or do I need to be worried?
I guess personally I would say if you have someplace else to go, or if you're like,
recommending nobody stay in the basement or anything like that in case there's, like,
sewer backup or, you know, the drain comes up.
Okay.
But other than that, I can't really tell you.
Right now they're just recommending a voluntary evacuation of everything east of Washington.
East of Washington?
At this point it might change at any time.
I don't know because the river's still rising from last we heard, so.
Okay.
I just have a little one and I'm by myself tonight, so I'm just kind of concerned.
I would then move if you have someplace else to go.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you.
