Hi, I was trying to get a hold of the EOC.
Okay, they're just setting up their new headquarters.
The phones are going to be rolling over here in about 5, 10 minutes.
Okay.
All right?
Can I ask a quick question?
Sure.
I'm concerned about the Kennedy Bridge.
We live just right off of that Kennedy Bridge.
I have no idea what's going to happen there right now.
We're hearing that the Army is coming in, the National Guard is coming in.
The National Guard is in here right now.
They're requesting an honorary evacuation of the city right now.
The mayor has requested.
We don't know what the status is in any other area other than that they're evacuating very, very, very many areas.
What about the north end?
I guess I would be prepared to move.
I move on the north end too, but if I can get out, I'm leaving.
All righty.
All right.
