Hi there, is this who I call to find out about getting out of town here at the base?
Not really.
Okay.
Actually, you probably called the right number, but our EOC had to move to the university
because we were getting water in the basement here at the police department.
Oh, okay.
So we're waiting for their phone lines to get reconnected.
And they've told us it should be within the next 20 minutes.
Okay.
So if you could just call back the same number after that, hopefully they'll have their lines
up and they can help you out with that.
Okay.
Do you know if they're evacuating?
They're calling right now for a voluntary evacuation of the whole city.
So I'm on Stanford Road here on the west end of town.
Would I have to meet them, what do you think?
Do you even know?
I don't know.
I know that the base is taking people if they want to drive out there.
And I've also heard they're still keeping the Red River open and the armory, which is
pretty close to where you're at on North 47th.
Okay.
So...
So you just drive out there?
Yeah.
Just drive out there and they should be able to have people tell you what's going on.
Okay.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
