Law enforcement center.
I was wondering, am I in any danger, I live on 42st street.
I really can't tell you, right now what they're doing is they're requesting or stating that it's a voluntary evacuation of the whole city.
Number two, I do not have any way of getting any shelter.
Okay.
Where on 23rd is it now?
925 North 43rd Street.
Okay.
It's in the apartment.
Okay.
Is the water coming?
Can you see the water at all yet?
Well, there's water on the streets.
Okay.
They're not evacuating that area, so that should be okay.
But what I would like you to do is if you could just call this number back in like a half an hour,
because what's happening is our emergency operation center has been evacuated and they're reestablishing themselves out at university.
The numbers are the same?
Yeah, it's going to be the same, but they don't have their lines hooked up yet.
They should have it up in about a half an hour.
Okay.
So you can just try it back then.
Okay.
All right, thank you.
Bye-bye.
