Yes. I don't know where to go. We need to evacuate.
Okay. Okay.
It's already started by Cherry Street.
Do you have a way to get out? Do you have a car?
We have no car. It broke down. It's fine. We don't have to use.
Okay. Were you talking to somebody already?
Yeah. The guy told me to hold on.
Okay. What's your address?
I'm at 633 4th Avenue South.
There's a guy walking to Levers to get some food because our car's been out.
We were trying to wait until, you know, 633 4th Avenue South?
Yeah. Yeah. 633 4th Avenue South.
Okay. We're going to get National Guard to come over there.
Okay. If he's heading to Levers, he's going in the right direction. Okay?
They're after to help evacuate people if it gets that far.
And they'll take you. Okay?
Where are we going to go?
They're going to take you to Red River High School, which is a shelter right now. Okay?
Is there a phone there to contact?
Yeah. There's phones there and everything.
Okay. And the Red Cross is set up there and the Salvation Army. Okay?
We'll send someone over to 633 4th Avenue South. Okay?
We're waiting for him to get back, so we can't leave him.
Okay.
And we have a dog.
Okay. You can bring your dog with you.
As far as him, if they are there before he gets back,
go ahead and go with them to get out of the area because if he's in Levers, he's in a drier area.
Okay. They have not evacuated that yet.
Okay. I want to make sure. Do I hear the shadow over there?
Are we evacuated? I don't know because they said 4th.
They said 4th. They said 4th Avenue South, but they didn't say anything.
We're starting. Yep. 4th Avenue South. Let's see.
You're going to want to get out 0 to 200 blocks,
but we're going to get to your area here shortly to evacuate also.
You are?
Yep. Because the water is coming that way.
Okay. So we'll get a National Guard truck over there to help pick you up and take you out of the water. Okay?
Alright. Thank you.
Yep.
Bye.
