there's a hole in East Elmo and Dyke. Do you see how much Dyke 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, so which way are you going? I'm going west on University Avenue. I'm just
passing Hamlin right now. Okay, I'm broadcasting to 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 to give 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 two-toned gray. Okay, I'll get a broadcast
then, okay? Okay, thank you. Thanks. 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
form 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 shitless. I've been trying to reach you for two hours.
Okay, everyone's okay? Yep. Okay. Um, Kirk's here with me. Um, they've evacuated the PD.
They just got it set up on campus. We're going to be at, uh, plant services. Plant services.
Where are you now? I'm still downtown. When are you going to get the plant services? Well,
hopefully pretty soon. They, 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
based on flooding? And the streets are all flooded down here. Okay. What about Aunt Dorothy?
Um, she, her area hasn't been evacuated, but we're getting water all from the Central Park
area. Okay. We have two feet of water coming in. Okay. So, um, Kirk'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. Um, can you call back in about 10 minutes? The EOC is just setting up a new
headquarters ahead to evacuate. Okay. All right, thanks. Bye. Mom? Yeah, okay. I guess
I'm just worried about you guys out there. Okay. If I can leave, I don't know. 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. Christine doesn't know what to do. If she
should, uh, turn off her breakers at the house or turn off everything in her life,
what should she do? Police Department? No, ma'am. Police Department? Hello, is this
the EOC? Uh, no, the EOC is setting up a new headquarters. I'll be ready in about 10 minutes.
Okay, thank you. Yep. You guys safe?
Okay. Yeah? Uh, just a second.
Police Department, call Mom back. I just asked her.
Hello?
