Police Department.
Yes, I hate to bother you guys, but I live in the criminal's court area.
A friend of mine called me from over behind River King, the front gateway.
Yeah.
Do you guys know anything about evacuations out here?
There isn't anything mandatory.
I believe they're going to be asking the city to voluntarily evacuate eventually.
But to where?
The mayor is supposed to be coming on the 10 o'clock news.
But as of now it's only the downtown and Central Park and the park areas by the river.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you.
Okay.
