Emerged countryside are a couple hours old. Fire department. Anybody in here . Another toll, 40 people dead as responders go searching for victims. One hospital in beaumont, texas begins evacuating patients as taps run dry. Administrators deciding, they couldnt care for the sick and injured without clean and running water. This morning 14 babies will be flown out. Lets get the late es on the evacuation at babtist beaumont hospital, where we find miguel marquez. Whats happening, miguel . Reporter we are waiting for the first of the helicopters to come in. They think they have an incoming helicopter bringing in somebody who is injured. Thats something that Baptist Beaumont hospital is asking other emergency crews not to do, but there is an ongoing emergency here with the water crisis. So, you still have injured people coming into the hospital here. The baby that is are being air lifted today, three of them are healthy. 11, though, are premature babies. We got a look at a few of those babies in the Neonatal Center here and the nurses caring for them. Some of the parents, amazingly enough, you know how protective and possessive parents are of newborn babies, some of the parents are stuck in floodwaters and cannot be here to go with their babies when they are evacuated. I would think for all parents, its terrifying for us as well. We are doing the best we can. You know, the parents, some of them can be here and see their infants. Some parents are stranded. They havent seen their infants for days. We are just calling them and letting them know every couple hours how their babies are doing, giving them updates and reassuring them they need to take care of themselves and well take care of their babies. Reporter now, perhaps one of the most incredible stories i have heard is a woman who was pregnant with twins, she was trapped in the floodwaters. She had to be air lifted out by the coast guard. She was brought here to baptist and delivered the twins. One is healthy, the other had to go to the nicu. All three, mother and two kids will be transferred at some point today. Thats a lot of flying for brandnew born babes. It is, all three of them fragile at this state. Miguel marquez, thank you so much. Lets go to another scene in beaumont. The city just opened a water Distribution Center, much needed. Calee is there. Reporter that announcement went out from the city of beaumont that they were opening up this water Distribution Site. Already, there are cars lined up down st. Helena road here. I want to bring in the officer from the Beaumont Police helping to organize this effort. Officer, first of all, if you could explain to people exactly where we are when they are in need of resources. Right now, we are at i10 in st. Helena. This is the city of beaumont. If you go to the Beaumont PoliceFacebook Page, we have a press relief. It is flowing efficient. I didnt coordinate this effort. There are so many different people. The city of beaumont parks and rec and the fire department. This is the First Official water Distribution Site they have. We want to be as efficient as possible. We are running at about eight cars a minute. As we see the cars lining up, what do people need to know to make it continue to run efficiently . The best thing to do is be patient. Its going smoothly, but we just put it out 40 minutes ago, so people are scrambling to get here. We have a lot of water. I dont have an exact number. The resources are coming in and we are distributing. We need you to move as close to the vehicle in front of you. Be aware, these Texas National guard and the people loading the water will be walking toward your vehicle. Do not stop. Do not get out. When they tell you to pull up, if you stop, if you have a trunk you want it in, pop the trunk, roll the window down. Move on. Reporter where are the resources coming from . They are coming from the state. Honestly, i dont know. They are coming from everywhere. We are just trying to coordinate it. So many people are calling saying we are on our way, what can we do. We defer a lot of donations to local charities. Theres a lot of logistics and things that go into setting up an operation like this. Reporter thank you for all you are doing. Thank you. Reporter fred . Maybe you can ask the officer, i have a Family Member i spoke to and they didnt know about the water Distribution Site, nor do they have the means to drive to a location like that . Can you ask her if there will be other locations or deliveries . What do you do for people unable to drive to that location if they are in desperate need of fresh water . Reporter officer, we have one more question for you. What about people that cant get to the site . Are there plans for delivery . Right now, top priority was just getting this open. There are people that cant get to the facility. Again, the main priority is to get something going to get citizens water. We are working on that. Again, we are going to publish a press release if more resources come in. We are hoping to open up more locations. But, again, we are trying to get this one up and running and well assess from there and try to help people out. Reporter the Beaumont PoliceFacebook Page a great resource for people to look to for directions. Fred . The word is out. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Lots of folks in dire need, not just in beaumont, but surrounding areas in south texas. Lets check in with nick valencia in houston, a neighborhood hard hit. There are people behind you. Some of the water receded, but that doesnt mean the problems have gone away. Whats going on. Reporter it looks like some of the water receded, but thats back wash from the boats that have come in trying to rescue the people that are still stranded a week later. A short time ago, as we were getting prepared for the report, the Houston Police department emerged from the water back there that is still waist deep. They were with a group of people that had been stranded there since the storm hit. One of them was isaac, whose been stranded there with his family. He is running out of food and water. He called for help and rescue. We spoke to him for the first time as he was touching dry land for the first time in more than a week. So, i mentioned that isaac was telling me he was running out of food and water. That is what we are hearing from a lot of people. Some parts of houston are cleaning up. Some parts have dry land. This is not the case in barker cypress. We went in yesterday with a man named ryan for the first time as he was going into his apartment complex to get back his boys little bike. His boy is 2 years old and having a tough time being displaced. He went in to try to bring a sense of normalcy to his sons life. When we walked in, we were waist deep in water. In some cases, this is the question for the Electricity Department here. In some places, the electricity is still on. We saw an airconditioning unit spitting out water. It was eerie. What you see is a row of people that showed up to try to get a ride on one of these civilian boats. These boats came from san antonio, austin, texas, they are not waiting for the police to try to help them out. Though, in some cases, as i mentioned, the police are here. But, these civilians are taking it upon themselves to help out perfect strangers. We are looking at this as another boat is launched into the water, a man saw the need these people have here, specifically in this barker cypress neighborhood. We are hearing harrowing stories of people going back. They have limited time. In some cases only able to grab their medication and leave. We understand there are people that are still stranded in those apartments. Some of them dont want to leave. They are afraid of looters, afraid of people coming to ransack their apartment. In other cases, people are trying to cling on to their home while Everything Else is falling apart. So understandable. There are lots of fears and colossal needs. Theres a lot of patience being packed throughout. Nick valencia, well check back with you in houston. Thus far, at least 72,000 rescues in texas. The coast guard is playing a vital role in those efforts. Joining me on the von is vice admiral charles. He is in the atlantic area. So glad you can be with us. We have been watching unbelievable heroic rescues taking place. The skies are clear. Does that mean the pace of rescues is going at the same clip as it has been in the past couple days . Caller good morning, fredricka. Im on the ground in port arthur, texas. Rescues are under way. The sun is shining and the water receded some but its a dynamic situation. Theres cresting of the rivers here at about 2 00, 1 00 or 2 00. We are watching that carefully. We have dozens of boat crews pushes to that area. You will see helicopters and National Guard and state helicopters in the sky looking for folks to assess the situation. Its very dynamic. We have 3,000 rescues that the cost guard has been involved in. We have a lot of coast guard men and women on the ground to manage the locals and states. A lot of great americans, texans helping texans. I have seen the fire department. I have seen the county sheriff marine units. I have seen the cajun navy in the parking lots. They are pushing out in the water today. Its very dynamic. We are trying to find out where folks are to make sure we are getting rescuers out as need presents itself. You all are doing an amazing job. So many people are grateful for all you are doing as well as good samaritans. You know, as of tonight, it will be a week, you know, since that storm hit. When you do plug people from their rooftops, what kind of condition are they in, generally . Caller i think its the full continuum. I think folks leaving their places, you know, as the situation is unfolded, i think some folks were reluctant to leave. As they realize the magnitude of the flooding or the direness that the word is out theres no water, hopefully that will be the local officials working hard on that. Our rescue swimmers encountered, tragically, unfortunately folks where they are beyond, their life expired, to people that the immediate si is not as extreme. Its a whole continuum of situations there. And you are and your coast guard are very experienced in rescues of so many different calibers. Given that this is particularly unique, does this take an emotional toll on you and those who serve . Caller i tell you, i think thats a great observation. We have chaplins down here that talk to crews when they get back. Folks are tired. It is my job and the local regional commanders to make sure our folks get a hot meal, a few hours of rest. The coast guard has been like the men and women from the responding agencies at all the levels of government. They are all tired. They are all, you know, a couple days, a week into it. They are committed to getting out there on the streets, on the water ways, supporting texas, supporting texans. We are in this fight until things settle down. The rescue part is where we are now. We are transitioning to a recovery piece. The coast guard has a lot at stake in that. We have opened ports in corpus and houston with restrictions. This area, where im on the ground, the Golden Triangle is chemical and refinery. We are ahead on that. On the river, theres a ship tied up, 700 foot ship. They have tugboats holding it at the dock as waters flow down from up state to stabilize that. In the coming days, they hope to return to normalcy here. Its vital to america. Thank you so much. Thanks for your time and thanks for all that you and other members of the service are doing. Thank you so much. Caller thank you, fredricka. Another Government Agency helping with rescues is customs and Border Patrol. Joining me by phone is lead coordinator, judd murdock. Good you could be with me, coordinator murdock. People might be surprised to learn that customs and Border Patrol is actually involved in these rescues. Do you often get involved in rescues and operations of this caliber . Caller yes, maam. U. S. Border protection is involved in these events on a routine basis especially in times of natural disaster. For this event, we brought in more than 50 boats and aircraft to assist in the search and rescue. We have rescued 1300 people and 30 pets. We are proud to help. Texas being a border state, i have to ask you, undocumented immigrants, their friends and loved ones have expressed a lot of concern that asking to be rescued means risking deportation. What is the policy . Are you asking people about their immigration status before being rescued or during rescues . Caller our priority mission, in a life and Safety Mission is to save lives. When we are rescuing people, we are not checking documents or asking for id. We get them in the boat or aircraft and get them to safe haven. President trumps home larnd security adviser was asked about these conditions and this is what he said. In terms of immediate life saving, no individual, human being should worry about their immigration status, unless they have committed a crime on top of coming here illegally, when it comes to getting food, water or shelter. The authorities will not conduct searches inside those shelters. So, can you expound on that comment that there shouldnt be any worry about the immigration status unless they have committed a crime. How do you probe . How do you find out about their background without intimidating or placing fear in people who want to be rescued . Caller again, we are not concerned about their identity, we are concerned about getting to a safe haven. Thank you so much, judd murdock of u. S. Customs and border control. Continues success for rescues of people in desperate need. Coming up, the hidden dangers lurking in the floodwaters from snakes to mold. The longer the water stays, the greater the threat.

Many in houston return to see whats left of their flooded homes, could be exposed to a health risk in the waters. E. P. A. Is warning those the potentially toxic water is the biggest threat to Public Health at this time. Elizabeth cohen joins us. To what degree, elizabeth . Reporter we were on the floodwaters yesterday. They are brown and murky. Watch as we set out to find out what was in them. Countless people waded through the floodwaters, some for hours. Now, the question is, whats in it. Alligators, hoards of fire ants and many things you cant see. Lets start sampling. Reporter we asked the Senior Scientist at the Water Testing lab to investigate. What do you think is in the water . Based on sampling we have done in previous storm events, we are sure there will be bacteria, sewage related, fecal strep. Reporter thats not all. We are testing for metals . Yeah that are health hazards. Reporter like arsenic, lead . Yeah. Reporter this water is everywhere. Yes. Reporter that means the contamination is. The potential is everywhere. Reporter what does it mean for the people in the water . We asked an emergency medical specialist. Reporter if you are walking in the water, you cannot see what you are walking on. Theres fecal material and sewage in the water. Reporter what worries you the most . The most concerning thing are things like can cause things like reporter flesh eating bacteria . Exactly. Reporter the first wave, flooding and rescues. The second wave, the Health Concern that is come in the aftermath. Now, fred, we will be getting those test results back in the next day or two. Well let you know whats in them. Fred . So frightening. A lot of dangers. Thank you so much. As houston grapples with the aftermath of harvey, another hurricane is in the atlantic. Its hurricane irma. Its now a category 2 storm. Chad myers is tracking it. Chad, does that mean it is lose zing steam or has the potential to grow . It had an eyewall replacement overnight so it did lose a little bit. I am so glad you called it an it. Harvey was not a boy, irma is not a girl. All hurricanes are its. They have boy and girl names, they are its. Here is irma out in the middle of the atlantic. To be honest, it is closer to africa than america. We are moving toward the west. It could become a category 3 storm again and i think it likely will. A couple things going against it. It is fairly far to the north. This is 20 Degrees North latitude. That water is not nearly as warm by four or five degrees as it would be if we were ten degrees farther to the south, that explosive type of water in the gulf of mexico that made harvey so explode. The forecast is for the storm to turn to the left a little bit. Thats concerning because then, its going to make a run
