to ten days. >> all right, allison chinchar, appreciate it. joining me now is the mayor of beaumont, texas, becky ames. i appreciate you joining us again. if you could give us the latest update on the water situation in beaumont. any idea on when things may get back online? >> well, we're hoping to get real accurate information when the crest is going to happen in the natchez river. so that will make a huge difference. that has not happened yet. we were hoping that it would this afternoon. so we're just waiting it out. it is very hard to say before we know when the crest will be at its highest for the natchez river. >> and just in terms of clean drink water -- how are people getting by? relief crews are bringing in trucks of water. is access -- that must be an issue. >> not so much. the areas that don't have access have evacuated for the most part. we are still in rescue mode.
