This is the police, are you trying to get a hold of the EOC?
Well, just a report that I've evacuated my parents yesterday.
Where are they at?
They were at 1648 Riverside Drive and they were saying, you know, to make sure that people
are notified.
Alright.
And there's no one down there, you know, as of yesterday.
Yeah, they just wanted to make sure that everyone was out of there, so that's great, stay clear
of that area, okay?
Well, I'm going to have to go down and secure some things later.
Yeah, you'll have to wait until a little bit later today and see what the situation is
before or request if the National Guard is there, maybe they could do some of that for
you.
I don't know how they're letting people in or not.
Yeah, and I didn't know what to do, you know, to notify that the house is locked up, you
know, and it's been dark all night, we haven't been down there.
Yeah, they just wanted to make sure everybody got out and stuff, so they're not in someplace
where they are, on the main floor or above now?
Oh yeah, they're out of the flight area.
Well, that's great.
Okay, well thank you.
Is there anybody I should notify, though, to post anything on the house?
We don't even, you know, some people have been calling, they thought they needed to
notify, we really don't need to be notified of the address, we just need to make sure
that everybody is out of there.
Okay.
So you're one step ahead of the game, that's great.
Well, they've said on the media to contact them so that they know that people are gone,
and I thought maybe you were doing a house by house.
Yeah, they've gone through most of that area, they got everybody out, they did house by
house before they have totally sealed it off now, so.
Okay.
All right?
Good, thanks a lot.
