end there's a hole and you tell him what dyke. Can you tell him what 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, 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?
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 form line. Okay. All right? Yep, bye. Mom? Yeah? Okay. Yeah? This is the size of
the whole of 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. I know. Hi, Danny. I'm Danny Brittany. Okay, everyone's okay? Yep.
Yes? Okay. Um, Craig'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 there
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? Um, she, her area hasn't been evacuated, but we're getting
water off from the Central Park area. Okay. We have two feet of water coming in. Okay.
So, um, 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. Um, can you call back in about 10 minutes? The EOC is just setting up a new
headquarters. They had 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. Um, let me ask Dad. Kristin doesn't know what
to do. If she should, uh, turn off her breakers at the house or turn off everything or what?
What can she do?
Police Department.
