there's a hole and you tell him what dike. Can you tell him what dike has a hole? Yeah,
hold on. 911? Yes, good afternoon or good evening. I've got what appears to be a very
drunk driver following me down University Avenue. He's almost rear-ended me twice. He's
all over the street. Okay, which way are you going? I'm going west on University Avenue.
I'm just passing Hamlin right now. Okay, on broadcast it's the U and D units. I'm not
sure if they're going to be able to even get to the area. We have emergency evacuation
going on with the flood. I'm going to go ahead and broadcast it. Do you have a vehicle description?
It's an older model Ford pickup, about an 88, 89 right in there. Okay, caller? Pardon?
Caller of it? I can't tell it's dark. I think it's a gray or totally gray. Okay, I'll get
it broadcasted, okay? Okay, thank you. Can you hold? Yep. Okay. Police Department, can
you hold? Police Department, please hold. Police Department, please hold. Police Department,
please hold. Can I help you? Yeah, what's the emergency operations center's number? It's
746-2685. Give them about 10 minutes. They're evacuating and just setting up a new phone
line. Okay. Alright? Yep, bye. Mom? Yeah? Okay. Yeah? For the size of a hole in the
east elmwood dike. This is what mayors come across and ask for voluntary evacuation of
the city. Yep. I've had me scared to death. I've been trying to reach you for two hours.
I know. Hi, Danny. How are you? Okay, everyone's okay? Yep. Okay. Correct, share with me. Would
you like to be evacuated the PD? They just got it set up on campus. We're going to be
at plant services. Plant services. Where are you now? I'm still downtown. When are you
going to get to plant services? Well, hopefully pretty soon. We're just waiting for the lines
to finally pick up. They're over there, so hopefully we'll be leaving here in 10 to 15
minutes. Why are you leaving downtown? Because it's based on flooding and the streets are
all flooded down here. Okay, what about Aunt Dorothy? She, her area hasn't been evacuated
a lot, but we're getting water all from the central park area. We have two feet of water
coming in. Okay. So, Craig's here with the blazer because I had him quit doing whatever
he was doing to get here. Hold on, please. Lisa, can I help you? I was just wondering
where the highest need for sandbaggers would be right now. Do you have one? Can you call
back in about 10 minutes? The EOC is just setting up a new headquarters ahead to evacuate.
Okay. Alright, thanks. Mom? Yeah, okay. I guess I'm just worried about you guys out
there. Okay. If I can leave, I don't know if we should just unplug our freezer and let
everything go, turn off our breakers, or I don't know what to do. Let me ask Dad. Kristin
doesn't know what to do. If she should turn off her breakers at the house and turn off
everything you're watching, what can she do? Police Department. Police Department. Is
this the EOC? No, the EOC is setting up a new headquarters. I'll be ready in about 10
minutes. Okay, thank you. Yeah. Okay. Yeah? Just a second. Police Department, call Mom
back on your cluster. Hello?
