Yes, everybody is still trying to, you know everybodys really anxious. I cant stop crying. Dont be nervous. Everybodys with you guys. Dont be nervous. As a family right now because weise au need each other. Were all going through the exact same thing. Water everywhere. All of our furniture is ruined. Our kids clothes, shoes, everything. Everythings gone. And i believe the most scariest part for me was watching the water come in and not being able to do anything about it, not being able to stop it, not knowing who to call, where to go. Exactly. My family members are not down here. So i dont have anywhere to go. I dont know who to turn to. I was stuck in my apartment with three kids. The rescue team came and got us. It took the rescue team i think we lost their audio. Can you guys get closer to the phone . There we go. Our house was flooded up to our knees. And rescue went past us because they couldnt hear us. We didnt have flashlights. A volunteer had to bring us here. And now theyre telling it us they moved us from the red cross shelter at 600 west at memorial baptist to the college. Now they dont know if fema is going to come down here to see us in lee college because we left from the red cross. They told us they needed 25 people to leave. Since we made a bond as family, we decided to stick together and come down here. We have no access to get in touch with our family. A lot of us are on food stamp calls with no minutes, no data. We have no way to contact nobody. If they put us out, we have nowhere to go. I just did ten years in prison. I just lost everything i worked for for almost a year. I have nowhere to go. Slow down. Slow down, guys. Let me get to get everybodys story on. So tell us where you guys are now. And how you got rescued. Where are you now exactly . Were at lee college in the gymnasium part. Me and my grandmother got rescued because a volunteer, i guess from baytown, we asked him could he bring us somewhere. And he finally brung us. 911 audio appears to have gone out again. All our food is bad. Everything is full of blackwater and ruined. We dont have nothing. How many people are with you . How many people are there with you . Huh. How many people are there with you .

How i got rescued with my three kids, i dont know who told the rescue team to come. When they did, did they came in the big trucks with the rails. They didnt have any cover over it. So it was raining. Me and my kids were already soaked and wet from being in the water. Plus, with the rain coming down on us, we didnt have jackets. My kids didnt have any shoes on. I was just so scared and shocked whats going on. I didnt think about packing anything. The guy came. The firefighter came and he said, if anybody want to leave this area, now is the time to do it. I took that as a sign. I got my kids. And we left. So listen, listen, i dont know you guys in person. I havent met you. So who is speaking now . Who is this speaking now in the white sweatshirt . Im quinita. Had your kids. You said the water was up to your knees in your apartment. Isis, how high did the water get up in your apartment last night after we spoke with you . Well, the water was rising from the back from the window. The water was coming from three different ways. We have a video, but as our neighbors, we were contacted with some of our neighbors and our neighbors said that the water has risen even more. Yeah. Isis, how is naomi doing . Shes doing great. We have a video. Okay. You guys why dont you guys email it to the producers and well get it on the air for you. Well put that on the air. We capital see it because its so small. Email my producers after we finish this. Who said she lost everything just now . Thats my cousin. Im taquia eagleton. How high did the water get where you are . I was with isis. Im her cousin. I got us rescued this morning. I flagged down a truck with a boat this morning. I flagged him down. He was coming from midland. I grabbed one neighbor. She was on her way to baytown. Thats how we ended up stuck out here. He thought that we were all going the same place but we werent. It was a miscommunication and we ended up stuck out here. Me and isis and nao are trying to get back closer to the family. Who else was trapped . Sir . Is there somebody else there who was trapped . Yeah. Who is that . My name is danese. My name is linda record. The way we got rescued was a volunteer just around the neighborhood seen us screaming at hollering because the rescue truck drove past us. Water was up to my kneecaps and it was pitch black, no electricity. But the time i could run out to the street and flag my arms and scream and yell, they were past me and the engine was so loud that they couldnt hear us. So. I got stuck in my house for two days till a volunteer came and got us. Can i ask you something . Yes. So i want to ask you how many people were around you that were still stuck when you guys were rescued . Were there a lot of people . It was people on the front street. It was the whole neighborhood was outside. Everybody was standing on their porch because the disaster hit in the middle of the night. I was asleep. My grandmother linda woke me up screaming saying its water all the way to the bathroom. I thought she meant just like a light mist like rain came under the door. When i stepped onto the floor, it was literally up to my kneecaps. We both starred panicking. We werent prepared. We had no clothes packed. My house got ruined. We dont have nothing. All the food in the refrigerator, its gone. All our clothes are full of sewage water. We dont have nothing. The house stinks. We dont have nothing. Listen, i want you guys to stay in touch. Three days. I want you guys to stay in touch with the producers. Email the video. Let us know how youre doing. If we can help out. Whats the email . The person who got you on the show will contact you. Oay . Ing. Thank you, isis, taqua and denise, we appreciate you joining us. We know youre dealing with a lot. Thank you so much. Take care. Those are the stories that youre hearing. Thats real. Thats whats happening. All of them gathered around on their cell phone and face timing us here on cnn and telling their stories. Can you imagine the water coming in around you, theres nothing you can do, you have your kids and on and on and on. Many stories like that. Now i want to bring in drew griffin in beaumont, texas. Thank you so much. You heard that one story. Im sure youve been hearing a lot. Youre in an area hit hard by the storm. It is coming back. Whats going on . Reporter 10 to 15 inches tonight. They just issue add extreme weather emergency trying to keep people off the roads. Theres no reason to be out. Basically, shelter in place. Local authorities here say they are only going to respond if it is a lifethreatening emergency. Any of those volunteer rescues, those are done for the night because its just toot dangerous. Most of the roads in Jefferson County are covered somewhere in this county making it very hard to distinguish a road and a Drainage Ditch and a rafer. Thats where people have been getting into a lot of trouble. Tropical storm warning headed this way. Were expecting to get worse overnight. The misery factor is just continuing. Im afraid stories like the people you just talked to, that is going to be magnified because the food is running out, water is running out. People who are food for two or three days, that is now coming to an end, don. I understand, did you see someone fall into a ditch and almost get swept away . Reporter don, theres a story of a woman i think youre going to have later on in the show. A woman who died very near us. What happened to her was exactly what i saw. It was a man, he thought he was crossing a street. Its actually a Drainage Ditch with a rapid current going through the middle. He walked down almost to his waist and then by the time i yelled at him, he got all newsered and was able to swim back to the side. But it happens that quick. People step into water where they do not know that the volume of water or where they are traveling. It could be a culvert. It could be a depression, a Drainage Ditch and you are gone. If that man had got in there, there was no way that i or anybody else could have reached him in time before he went under. We have plenty of storieses. The one youre talking about is horrific. Well share as much of that as we can. Weak hear the rain drops. Theyre expecting to get a lot more. Well get back to drew. I want to go to brian todd now at George Bush International airport in houston, texas. Hes been covering this from the beginning. I understand you have news about an emergency situation at a Chemical Plant in crosby, texas. Tell us about that. Reporter thats right, don. This facility is it crosby is east of houston. Several miles east of houston, still in Harris County on Liberty County line. Harris county is the county where houston is located. This is well east of houston, crosby is where this plant is operated by a Company Called arkema incorporated. It has had to evacuate employees from the peroxide plant there. Its got about 40 inches of water from flooding inside the plant. And its the backup generators have all failed. Theyve got no power in the plant. The cooling systems for whatever operates the machinery that produces peroxide are down. They have to be able to cool these things and if they dont do that, there could be a short circuit that could lead to fire or explosion. Theyre very concerned about that tonight. They had an 11person socalled ride out team inside that plant thats been there since friday in anticipation of hurricane harvey. Those people are being evacuated tonight. Were told by the Harris County officials out in that the section that people live within 1. 5 miles of that plant have to evacuate, as well. They are concerned about a fire and possible explosion because theres no power. Backup generators have failed, and theyve got about 40 inches water in that peroxide plant. Its been three days later. And the devastation still unimaginable there. The rescues are still happening. And as i understand, you rode along with the customs and Border Protection helicopter today. What did you see . Reporter incredible scenes, don, from the air you can really see the scope of the devastation. We went over an area called kingswood, kingswood was the name of the neighborhood in northeast houston. The water there was as high as we have seen since weve been here, up to the roofs of many houses. The water is flowing. I heard drew griffin talk about the currents where he is. Theyre very dangerous there. You cant get there by boat in some cases. These guys in this marine and Operations Unit were braving horrible conditions in the air to get there. They were lowering baskets down by hoists to pull people out. We saw ha happening today. We had to land in a little sliver of a parking lot that was barely not flooded to get people out of this kings wood neighborhood. And onto the choppers. We made three runs in there and rescued 28 people in about an hour and a half in three different runs. It is a very difference situation in that neighborhood in kings wood. These pilots, don, incredible bravery here because theyre flying through driving rain, low cloud cover, and they have almost no visibility. They can only see about a quarter mile in each direction. Im listening to the copilot and pilot talking to each other. Ive got a tower and wire over here. Theyre dodging all this stuff under low cloud cover to get to these neighborhoods. It was something to see. Thank you, brian. Doing great work out there. Be safe. I want to go to Alexander Mar adequate request the live for news katy, texas. You spent the day on a boat with a kes cue crew and came across people still choosing to ride out the storm. Whats going on . Reporter thats right. The storm here in houston tonight has an based a little bit. Lets hope it stays that way. Theres a lot of people back there hoping that it will. I spoke with a Police Officer earlier today who said the number of rescues in in area has gone down. Thats for two reasons. The in the early hours of the storm, a lot of people made their way to safety heading into the shelters. Secondly, a lot of people dont want to leave. They dont know whether the water will go up or down. There are a lot of homes that have some elevation. The waters havent made their way into the homes. Theyre reluctant to leave their houses. Now, remember, there are these two big reservoirs nearby where the water levels are getting very high. The army corps of engineers is starting to allow water out of those specifically one called add addicks. There could be a lot more rescues in this area needed in the coming days. We spent a couple hours out there with some of the volunteer rescuers. Specifically two cousins who came up from rockport, texas, one of the heaviest hit areas in wake harf have i. I asked one of them how he could come up so soon after rockport was hit. He said listen, i couldnt sit by and watch all this happen. The worst had passed in rockport. Their hopes and families were safe. They had boats, specifically boats known as air boats or swamp boats that have big fans on the back that navigate these waters much better than most of the boats weve seen. That speaks to the character of these volunteers who we have seen coming out it rescue their friends, their neighbors and frankly a lot of strangers. Thank you, alexander. Well get back to you, as well. I want to get to tom sater in the weather center. Tom, this is unbelievable. Officials are bracing for more devastation. Tell bus it. Yeah, don. I guess the last 24 hourses or so, the concern was east of houston into eastern texas and parts after louisiana. The color of purple into white is the size of the state of kentucky. When most of this area has picked up a years worth of rain in a couple days, getting ready for second landfall, were about five to six hours away. We thought maybe it would be closer to the board of texas and louisiana. You can start to see the bands. Were about five or six hours away from a landfall in louisiana. The problem is beaumont. They have been hammered. Beaumont home to over 100,000 people down toward port arthur looks like houston did saturday night. We know what happened come sunday. 15. 5 inches today, on top of 16 theyve already had. Another six to eight tonight. Weve got to get resources torres cues. Lake charles, you missed out. The band stayed to your north and south. Baton rouge, new orleans, youre in the clear. You got missed out, too. I know you were sandbagging in plaquemines parish. No need for that anymore. Heavy rainfall in coastal florida, but the big concern is the spin and our landfall as it continues to rain don, on the same location. They had sunshine. Shoes r houston today. Quite nice. Not much in the way of more rainfall. Areas of eastern Harris County over 51 inches of rain. The system will continue to accumulate rainfall in the deadly area of eastern texas. Well get back to you again. Just devastating. I want to bring in a young mom who not only made it out of the floodwaters from the storm but escaped katrina. Her name is aisha nelson. Im so happy that youre doing okay. Were sorry that youre going through this. How are you tonight . Tell bus it. Today is like not knowing where im going from here. We dont know the where were going or whats going to happen. Thats the whole thing. So it must be, it, all over again because you earlier today you told my producer that your mom and sister are still trapped. And i imagine having to go through there with what happened in new orleans is just unbelievable to you. Is that still the case . Are they still trapped . No, they havent gotten no help. Ive been calling every 30 minutes to an hour, me and my sisters. Theyve been okay. They had no water. It was low where they were at but the water is all around them. Theyre trapped. Theres no way for nobody to get to them unless they rescue them. Ive been calling the rescue people to rescue them. I put them on list. The rescue people called them but they never showed up. Speaking of new orleans, you had to evacuate new orleans 12 years ago during Hurricane Katrina and now having to do it all over again. Whats going through your mind . God is trying to do something. I dont know what hes trying to do with my life but i think hes trying to do something great because a person that could go through something twice and still stand up here and talk to peopl
