I was just wondering, we live on South 11th Street and the water is moving up and we live
like on a slab. We don't have a basement. And I'm just wondering, you know, you see
it in the streets, the water, is that going to affect us, you know, or is it going to?
I don't know. I'm assuming that it might, so if you have someplace else to go.
Well, I'm just wondering about our furniture. Should we put it up and stuff like that?
Yeah, I would put it up because they're saying any basement in Grand Forks at this time should be.
We don't have a basement. We're living just like on a slab, you know. There's no basement underneath.
That's up to you if you want to put it up. I would recommend putting it up just as a precautionary measure
if you have something to put it up on.
Are they doing any evacuation in this area?
Not in that area yet, but they're, like I said, right now the EOC is flooded so they're moving
so I don't know what their plans are exactly. But if you want to call back,
they're supposed to have their lines up the same number within the next 28 minutes.
Oh, okay. I didn't know because I was afraid of a slab. I don't know if we're okay or what was our furniture.
I would think they're locked in there, but I can't tell you for sure.
Right. We just don't got any place to really put it, you know. That's our problem.
You know, you don't got anything to do. I don't know if you can recommend anything or...
Not really, not at this time because they're not, you know, we don't have anywhere to transport anything out.
All we see is the water's moved up from way back where, Cherry, to a block and a half away from us, you know,
and now we're starting to get a little concerned, you know.
Yeah. Well, if you've got a way to put it up, I would put it up and I don't know.
The only other thing I can suggest is KC&N. I know I've been connecting people.
Maybe call in there and see if they have somebody that can help you move stuff out.
Okay.
Great. Yep. Bye-bye.
