I heard from someone that they're expecting a three feet of overflow throughout the city.
I really don't know to be honest with you, they haven't told us anything.
They have no regards.
Okay.
We heard that.
All that we've heard is that they're asking for a voluntary evacuation of the whole city
because they don't know what's going to happen.
Yeah, the only thing I can tell you is to try back at this number with the EOC.
They hopefully will have more of a better graph of what's going on.
So it's been a long time since they've been able to get back up?
Yeah, I know.
It's been answering for two hours and they keep telling us it's going to come back up.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Oh no, that's fine.
I'm just saying that I...
We're getting a lot, but it's hopefully useless.
You'd like to be able to tell people, but we don't have any information.
Okay.
