Hello?
Yes.
Do what you command for your regular shift tonight.
Okay.
Do just do your six to four and then we're going to cover it so that there's three people
all the time.
So we don't have that shortage from four a.m. to noon.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Hi.
Is Pat there?
Right here.
Pat, this is Terry.
Pat?
Yeah.
Sorry if I woke you.
Just wanted to let you know.
Just come in on your regular shift tonight.
Okay.
Yeah.
Fine.
It's been quiet most of the day.
What are they finding with the dogs?
They got another break over at Lincoln Drive, 300 block above Lincoln, but they've got all
those people out.
Those houses are underwater.
What's underwater?
The houses under the hill on Lincoln.
Other than that, we had kind of a close call over on the east side over by James Avenue.
It's been really pretty quiet.
This guy's got his cool all day.
What about all the, you know, internet in the streets and all that BS that we had going
this morning?
There are a lot of streets blocked off.
Oh, is there?
Because the water's coming up, you know, through the storm sewers or through the streets.
So, it may be a little more difficult to get here.
I know Cherry's blocked off there for a while.
As far as I know, it's still blocked.
But, well, for right now, we're just going to run on regular shifts, and if we're busy,
then we'll call people back.
Cherry's going to come in at four, and so that we don't go down to two.
That wasn't enough for us to come in or something?
Murphy only works for two hours tonight, but I think, you know, if they need to, I can
stay or whatever.
But, I don't think we have any other officers working tonight.
Let's see, 18th now.
This is Murphy for two hours.
Okay.
Tomorrow, I guess against Simon.
Hey, you had a sixth floor.
They may want to change that.
Until they're evacuated, they'll like Riverside and Central and all of those.
Yeah, they're still gone.
Well, they're not allowing them to be in, though, are they?
Nope.
Still under evacuation?
Nope.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Bye.
Bye.
