Police Department.
Hi, I was just informed by some people that we, like a volunteer, evacuated Grand Forks.
It may be possible the mayor is supposed to be making a statement at 10 o'clock
where I guess I would get your belongings ready in case there is one.
Okay, well I think I'm going to go now. Is this still open, the bridge on Highway 2?
As far as I know, Highway 2, Kennedy Bridge is, but I'm not positive.
Okay, do they have any?
As far as I know, Highway 2 is good on Grand Forks and out into Minnesota.
Okay, so that's okay if I go that way?
As far as I know, there's time, yes.
Okay, thanks.
