you can see down this street a lot of destruction. trees are down. cars are piled up. roofs are off the tops of houses. it's total devastation at the end of this street and also to the block just to the north of us, the houses are flattened there. the authorities won't let us into that area. suffice to it say the clean up there is going slowly because of all the rain here. it has been raining since midnight, since this storm came through, actually and the temperatures have dropped adding insult to injury. it was about 75 degrees when the storm came through. the temperatures have plummeted down to the 40s. the wind is howling. making clean up very, very difficult. now we spoke to some people who survived the storm last night. here's what they told us about how it sounded and what it felt like. >> we lost a lot of roof. over on this side you can see holes in our house. it's crazy. this is all neighbors stuff much these 2 x 4s flew like bullets.
