Absolutely. The last time was in 2009. They said it was a satellite they are launching them. This basically into three pieces, landed 1200 kilometers east of japan. I think the u. S. Showed a lot of restraint. We do have the ability to track the missiles. From what i understand, we could get a good sense of where they are heading. How this broke up over japan, what would we have done . North korea is really pushing limits in japan and south korea really trust him and send a close ally weight now. Does japan have been Missile Defense system that needs to send off a system kind of weapons from north korea . Japan does have Missile Defense systems that i cant go into specifics about what they have in their capability could start korea. In south korea right now were working on that. South korea was supposed to that the new leadership was in all the sudden it was like north koreas developing this technology. Maybe we want to have this year. At the end of the day, each time Something Like this happens, u. S. Intelligence will watch and track what north to rear does not improves our intelligence about their capabilities.

Authorities warning that the worst may be yet to come with nearly two more feet of rain expected on top of 30 plus inches in some areas. Jeff flock on the ground in houston with the very latest. What are you seeing . It just keeps coming. Overnight and today again, we are not too far from the Buffalo Bayou. Look at the road right here. This is water rushing out of the value across the road in washing cars essentially off the road. Look at what has happened over here. These cars washed out. We had to rescue about an hour ago from someone driving in high water trying to get through. If you woke up and go far through this, you walk away a sheer waste and that is why we have the thousands of recipes that have taken place. They are hopeful today, hopeful that this will be the last day of it getting worse. You report it may well worse before it gets better. They are hoping this is the last day you can say that because at this point it looks like the storm is moving away. After today that we dont have as much rain. Its just continued to fall in on that note we like the situation, but it just keeps falling. There is nowhere for this water to go. They continue to release water yesterday with the teams are in jeopardy that they had back over there next hour and show you what the situation all day long yesterday. Ive never seen this much water. Truly incredible. We should point people out. Covering hurricanes and Natural Disasters and for you to say that, talking about the addicts in the reservoirs, that puts the army corps of engineers in such a tough spot because they dont want the dams to break obviously, theyre releasing water from those reservoirs needs country means more flooding in parts of houston. Talking to the people we talked to yesterday in the neighborhoods affected by that that we understand. People have been very understanding about this. They know that if they lose the ability to control the output from those reservoirs that can be just a huge flash flood that would potentially, could make it a whole lot worse. So they and as much as its a very difficult situation. Jeff flock on the thank you for your reporting. President trump and First Lady Melania Trump heading to Corpus Christi this morning near where harvey came ashore at the category four storm late friday. Joining us now by skype, republican congressman Blake Farenthold of texas, the district includes Corpus Christi. Congressman, what are you hoping to hear from the president when he visits your area today . I want to leave an impression and the president signed how severe the devastation is the sum of our area towns like rockport imported myakka. It is beyond the rescue headlines. Just last week and we were devastated to the plaintiff, crop port. You cant look anywhere without seeing buildings almost completely destroyed. Trade to congressman, what does your district need most right now . Right now we are getting the food and water that we need for most areas, getting the Electric Company in, power restored. That is the key to our business. A city can survive for a while, but eventually you need a grocery store. What is the outlook on power . How on earth did shut down and what is the outlook on the refineries . Right now, the delay in the refineries is the ship channel. The army corps of engineers is too dredges that are stuck in houston that open up our channel by this weekend. They were able to get down there. We had the offshore oil rig break it boring thing float away. The coast guard needs to survey the chip channel to make sure it is sufficient and where does that come at the army corps of engineers. They are talking about bringing wind down from mississippi, but theres a new modern bridge under contract in houston that could probably be here tomorrow or the next day. Officials tell me we could have those refineries back online as early as saturday. Congressman, lea gabrielle. I went to Flight School of Corpus Christi, wonderful area. Our thoughts are with you all as we go through this. The estimate is more than 50 of homes in the houston area that may be flooded were not in a federally mandated flood areas where they had to have insurance. People thinking about rebuilding and losing their homes in trying to rebuild them. Was it look like in your area in terms of insurance and coverage . Fortunately, we dont get get hurricanes as often as houston gets floods. Texans are resilient. We are going to build in rock park, where we correctly predict it will port would be open for business soon and by next summer would be back in the commission you would want to visit on a vacation. Congressman, michael hawkins. Im wondering if houston starts to rebuild itself, what do cities need to do about urban planning and how they are dealing with flooding and these Historic Events . Well, houston has a flood problem because like most of coastal texas, its relatively flat. They go up quickly from the water. Not a lot of hills. Those tend to flood first. It is an interesting conundrum of what you do with places that flood every year. It makes sense that we should have some way of encouraging folks to relocate their own rather than rebuilding or repairing every few years. Dagen are you going to see the president and first lady today . That is the plan. We dont have the complete itinerary yet. Weve been told by the light has to be flexible with your schedule and we are willing to do that because they think it is critical that the presidency of the devastation in some of the areas right around Corpus Christi. Thankfully, Corpus Christi dodge double at it and weve got stores open in life is slowly getting back to normal. I finally got power back in the house about 10 00 last night. Train to what is going to be the first thing you say to the president . I will say welcome to Corpus Christi, we need your help. We have been getting great support from the white house in feedback. Ive spoken at length with Vice President and in on behalf of President Trump the support we need from the federal government with whats going on in houston now, its just becoming a bigger and bigger project. This is a disaster of historical proportions. Weve never seen anything like this. Normally a hurricane will come, the winds will be here for a day and then it will be gone.
