>> let's turn to the plains, the flood weary plains. some towns rain will not let up. hundreds of families forced to leave their homes along rising rivers across texas. firefighters scrambling to keep up with the nonstop calls for help, pulling trapped men, women and children to safety. death toll has now hit 24. 14 others still missing. each new round of rain is making it that much more difficult for the search. this is just unreal. we've been talking about this every single week, all week, every day this week. it seems like we're talking about the same areas. it's not like it's moving along. it's been sitting right over the plains. look at some of these pictures. stranded residents being plucked from some of these flooded homes and cars across oklahoma. torrential downpour dumped 5 inches of rain in the town of lawton yesterday afternoon, filling up streets, catching drivers off guard, roads vanished under flowing water from canals and creeks. rescuers had to use front loaders to get them out. another day of this stuff is on tap for that same area today. >> it's so heart breaking.
