down. it is dangerous out there. some of these have live wires on them and i'm asking the citizens that have evacuated to give us some time to be able to clean up the roadways. a lot of people want to get back to wilmington after the storm passes. we need to clean up the roadways. >> we were trying to get to the waffle house at monkey junction, i think it is called. and it took forever lt you've been involved in rescues, a tree fell on a house here. >> i've had a couple of busy days. i don't know if it was with this news organization or not but we have a 50-mile-an-hour sustained wind protocol that we pull troops back and we never got to do it. >> you were out the whole time. >> yes. the firefighters were getting trees off houses, getting people out of houses, doing rescues like you saw today. >> i believe it was earlier today.
