Thanks for holding. Can I help you?
Yes, we live on Oak and we have a lot of water around here. Are we supposed to evacuate or are they waiting for that?
I guess I would get ready and probably want to evacuate. They're evacuating as much as they can.
Because the water wasn't a few minutes ago.
The mayor is asking for voluntary evacuation of the city.
Of the city? Where do we go?
There's a shelter up in the fire hall in Amaretto. Grand Forks Air Force Base is having some assistance.
And also people are following the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Okay, how do we get there?
Highway 2, if you just get on Highway 2 and go straight out, you can go up to Amaretto. He's setting up the fire hall.
