there's a hole in you, tell them what dike. Can you tell them what dike has a hole in?
Yeah, hold on. 9-1-1? 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, 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 it broadcasted, okay? Okay, thank you. Thanks.
Police Department, can you hold? Yeah. Okay.
Police Department, can you 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.
This is 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, Ben. How are you? Okay, everyone's okay? Yep. Okay.
Um, corrects 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 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
all from the Central Park area. Okay. We have two feet of water coming in. Okay.
So, um, corrects 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?
Uh, I was just wondering where the, 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. Alright, thanks. Bye.
Mom? Yeah, okay. I guess I'll just read it with 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 should she do?
Police Department?
No, ma'am.
