00:29Yes, sir.
00:30So just to give you an update on the heights of the dam, so the dam goes all the way
00:33up to 90 feet just for the top of the dam. 88 feet becomes a very critical threshold also where
00:40we have concerns. And then 85 feet, that's when we trigger evacuations. But because of the rate of rise, we
00:46wanted to be out a little bit ahead of that. And that's why we started moving people steadily now that
00:51it was daylight.
00:52The biggest concern, of course, is if water ultimately goes over the top of the dam, you can compromise the
01:01structure of the dam. You can start losing material and that we can't have. Or at least we certainly can't
01:06have that with any people in the region. So that's why we're asking people to calmly move out of the
01:12area and evacuate.
01:13We'll get a lot more updates from this.
02:07You
