React. great to have you here. this is an emotional one for you. lets remind us that have been your son, drew, and how you feel this morning waking up to your knees in the state of california >> my son was coming home from law school one night and a guy, roberto gallo tried to make a second left-hand turn. they collided in the intersection set of stopping, his humble got caught under his tire company backed up driving over him the second time and then try to flee, went forward. the third time, b...

I think the worst of the rain is over here, so that will help, and as soon as we can get over to that arena, it might not be til tomorrow morning, well check it out, but structurally sound. people need to know there was some roof damage and there is a leak apparently in the germane center arena. anderson, as the wind howls again, i will toss it back to you. >> all right, drew, thanks very much. uncertainty, that is really i guess the buzzword right now, you heard from tom sater in his words the ...

Strength somewhat that force wrapping around the eye of the storm isnt as great but youre still going to have a surge no matter what and its still completely dangerous. its almost splitting hairs at this point. its just trying to get a handle on where this thing is going and how much longer it will contain this strength. anderson? >> all right, tom, thank you. i appreciate that detail. i want to go to drew griffin in ft. myers. drew, i dont know if you were able to hear tom giving a sense of whe...

Northward it will affect the state. after it passes south florida is there a concern that after the rain has stopped even the storm close up to jacksonville area of getting supplies down this way? >> well do everything we can. youre always worried about everything. so you worry about what will happen to bridges and roads and worry about all these things. what you have is -- you plan what youll do to respond to it. so we are pre-positioning assets to the extent we can and move it south as fast as...

The phrasing of the red line that the secretary of defense drew. i believe he said, "any threat." >> he said "threat." not strike. >> would be met by a massive military response. i -- i wonder how you operationalize that? does that mean the next time kim jong-un threatens, you know, rhetorically qualm or anywhere else that we will respond with military force? given that secretary mattis has been so careful in his choice of words, i was surprised by linking, that he would link a threat to our cou...

Vulnerable. >> okay. thank you very much for that clari clarification. all eyes are watching beaumont, texas. thats because, as we just heard general honore there. the grid is failing. if that happens theres an entire cascade of catastrophes that could happen. they have lost both water supplies. drew, what is the latest in beaumont? >> reporter: they are going to go out and check the water pump thats in the river. the they should be doing that now. they had to take a boat out to do that. that fa...

Drew, you and your crew were able to save that man. tell us the story. >> it happened so quickly and it is a lesson for anybody who thinks they could just go out and take a look around. we were setting up for a live shot and then this just happened. >> look at this. get out, dude! you got a power cord? you got a rope? hold on. im trying to get you a road. all right, buddy, come on and get out of that rwater. no, maam. we got a car in a ditch. we just pulled a fellow out. >> 66-year-old jerry. he...

Route, that flooded two days ago. so there is nowhere for them to go and it is requiring more of these boats and rescued to go into this neighborhood still being flooded now days after this event. and of course after the rain has stopped. people just need to just stay where they are and wait. wait until this emergency is over and despite the fact the rain has stopped falling here, the emergency is not over. >> not at all. some of the water still rising. thank you so much, drew. many texas offici...

To actually how many rescues are going on because so many of them are just volunteers, neighbors helping neighbors. weve seen people coming in from other states with their boats just trying to help. >> drew, we have just a little bit of time left but it almost looks like behind you that is another road that is becoming a river. more boats than cars almost, and is there anything you can tell us about that family that was coming in or just that this is one of many families were seeing being rescue...

Relate to that. imagine having to jump on a boat with your children, not knowing if youre going to make it alive. so, yeah, i mean, its -- its really, really tough for all of these people, and theyre going through a lot of trauma, and like you mentioned, a lot of them at their breaking point. >> rosa flores with a very human moment. if you see that nice lady again, please give her our best and tell her that were thinking about her and thanks for sharing that with us. we appreciate it, thank you....
