So far, harvey has led to 47 deaths and that number is expected to rise. Neighborhoods like the one im standing in, this is called will chester west. It of will of course have to rebuild and dry out. The white house estimates more than 100,000 homes are either damaged or destroyed. The scope is captured in these stunning satellite images. So of course there are concerns about contamination. The and disease in these flood waters. I can tell you just from standing here over the past two hours the mosquitos are out in force. All sorts of insects. Of course they thrive in this standing water. That leads to a complicated and dangerous sue. 70,000 rescues but millions in the area. All that water is going to be there for weeks and time is going to be the enemy for peoples patiences. Fema announcing they have approved assistance for nearly 100,000 people. But remember, you have millions exposed to harvey. Congress now awaits the trump administrations request for the first wave of emergency funding to help the survivors and victims. Courses tell cnn the house could take up the vote as early as next week. Will they keep politics out of it and get it done . Vice president mike pence in texas consoling victims. Seeing the devastation first hand. President trump will go to houston tomorrow to meet with victims. The most dire situation however is not in houston, its in beaumont, texas. 118,000 people live there and now they have no drinking water. The bump and backup pump flooded. Long lines for a ration of bottled water. The water out age even forcing the citys hospital to evacuate many of its patients. The we have it covered. Lets begin a Miguel Marquez live in bow month. Theyve been asking for water trucks how did that go. Reporter in the next couple of hours the city is going to announce where they will have a water distribution point. And they think they will be able to Service Everybody for the time being and get them the water they need. They plan to be hand tg out in either large bottles or gallon jugs. Two different crisises, the water is out and flood waters still rising. The river hasnt crested yesterday ayet. Until it does they wont be able to get the pumps back up and running. Affecting polices like the Baptist Hospital in beaumont where they have decided to evacuate. Started off with 193 patients. They have done this with militarylike precision and theyre lucky in the sense they can actually plan for this rather than the rising waters. If that were the case it would be much more chaotic. But you have sort of wave after waeft of drophelicopters coming. The galveston. Even some to missouri to go out and get them help and care where they can. Officials say it may take four, five, six, perhaps seven days or more to get that water up and running here. So for right now, people are watching that water level of the river, and hoping that they can get that water back up and running very soon. Absolutely. So lets take a look at just a few more of the pictures in the video of all those folks being evacuated. Its just so dramatic. As you said, 193 people were in this hospital. Some of them in very bad shape, and so the idea of having to evacuate and get these folks out in a time sensitive way is just really trying. You can see doctors doing it. You can emergency responders. All of the choppers. Its just quite an effort. Mary, wow, weve been watching what you had to do. What have these days been like for you . Well, good morning from Southeast Texas. All can i say is ive never been more proud to be a member of this organization. This has been amazing. We have staff here. We have food and supplies here. The were ready to rock and roll. Unfortunately the city is not cooperating with the water. As you heard earlier we started out with 193 patients yesterday and down to 83. All of critical patients have been moved. Families are notified. We used helicopters and ambulances here in town, and we just worked as an effort to get this done. All of the icu patients have been moved. Er has been cleaned out and any critical patient has already been moved. Dialysis patients are gone. And for those of you that didnt know, were the only psych hospital within a 300mile radius and all those patients have been relocated as well. Only down to three on that. The for those of you that know much about Mental Health it is very difficult to get those people placed. Our big exciting news is our pediatrics and our babies will be leaving today so our nicu and nursery will be moving out. 11 babies will be leaving this morning together with the neo nay toll gist. Wow. Mary. Listen. I can tell your patients are in good hands with you there, because you have just the right energy for this task. I mean you are obviously approaching it with open arms and open hart. I did i have to tell you moo i heart did go out when i heard about your nicu unit. I had two preemie twin babies. I remember how scary those days are for parents. Whats going to happen to those babies . Where are they going . Theyre going to university of Texas Medical Branch in g galveston and the interesting thing about that, our doctor trained there. He said im bringing my babies home. He stayed up all night waiting for the helicopters and they werent able to fly. This is Southeast Texas on the coast. The we have a tendency to get a little bit fog. The sun is coming up today. Hes ready to go. Well, mary, thank you, we wish you and your entire crew there the best as you try to help all of these patients. Thank you so much. You have such a wonderful attitude. Its really inspiring to talk to you this morning. Thank you. You let Southeast Texas know as soon as that waters back, we are back. We are on it and we are helping you get the message out. So thanks so much for being here. Back here, where aam in houston, rescue crews are about to resume door to door searches in some of the heavily flooded areas here in houston. You see just one example of this behind me. Cnns ed lavender ra is lie on the west side of this city. Whats the situation there, ed . Reporter hi. Theres still two pockets of the city that are still under some flood waters and still very much of concern and dangerous situations. This area near those reservoirs weve talked about on the west side, theres another area on the northeast side of town in the kingwood area of the city that is still has water. Obviously that is still very much a dangerous situation. But what we have now seen that as the flood waters have started receding it allows the search and rescue operations to fan out through the neighborhood and look for victims. Thats why weve seen the death toll here in the last few hours go up. Once again standing at 47. More of that work is expected to continue today. What is staggering, the numbers in the sheer scope of just how much damage has been inflipgcte by these flood waters, 136,000 structures across Harris County have been damaged by flood waters. That is just a Staggering Number and really kind of gives you a sense of how much work and how long it will take for the city to repair itself. Okay. Absolutely. Thank you very much for that reporting. Heres another story we need to tell you about. Two men are missing after their boat capsized while trying to rescue Harvey Victims in Montgomery County texas. A third person on board was rescued after clinging to a tree for dear life. It was monday, around excuse me. It was tuesday. Around midnight. When the guys went to houston to rescue lives here. They were all pumped up ready to save lives. When they got to Montgomery County, they had went to if ill not mistaken, an apartment complex. Thats where they launched boat at. They were just doing this on their own. They just decided we have a boat, people need help. Weve seen hundreds, thousands of people who have come here with that same Good Intention and they have to figure out where theyre going to go and dont know what the conditions are. Yes maam. They decided we need to do the right thing. People needer help. They why just came out here. What did you hear about what happened to them . Well, what i heard was that a current had got the boat, and they slammed up against the bridge, and the boat just flipped over and both three men were like completely under water and stuff, and one one of the guys had seen a gas can floating. He grabbed onto that, and he swam up and seen a tree and he was clinging on to that. That was luis. Yes. Your two friends. Tell me about them. They kept the current kept taking them down, i guess by the bridge. Some people say they went under the bridge. Other people keep saying they just kept going with the flow. Up to right now, theyre still missing. We havent had any update on that. So we have thomas, whos 25, and alonzo, who goes by dj ocho. Thomas. We used to play soccer together. Every sunday go out and play soccer. Ocho, man, hes been my friend since as long as i can remember. Hes more than a friend. Hes like my brother. Hes mentor, teacher. Life coach. Hes my everything. What do you think has happened to them . I dont want to think the worse. I know theyre tough guys, intelligent and they can just they got it. They can survive. I know theyre out there. Theyre okay. You think that they are just among the missing, the people who havent reconnected somehow with their families. And by the way, this does happen. I mean people dont have their drel phones, lose their cell phones and we have seen examples. Just one earlier in the program people, it takes days to be able to find them with missing photos. Is that what youre hoping . Yes, maam, im hoping theyre out there alive. They dont have a way of communicating with us. Hopefully they can somebody can see them and like just point them to the right direction. I seen this guy. But the guy who survived, has he explained what he saw happen to them . I havent talked to him. He has talked to his mom and his dad. He explained a little bit of what he remembers. But, other than that, thats just they were just concerned about him being okay. Have you talked to ocho or toms families . Yes, maam. I talked to thomass mom. Hows she doing . Shes holding up okay. Its her child so shes devastated of course. Manny, were praying for you and your friends and families. Obviously we will bring any information we get right to you. Thanks so much for being here. Back to you, chris. The anguish, the unknown about your loved one in the midst of battling for your own swoo survival. Hopefully not too much. Were going to take a little quick break here. When we come back, were going to talk about what Congress Needs to do. I know it sounds like a nobrainer. Help the survivors of harvey. The but what happened the last timed with sandy says nothing is a forgone conclusion when it comes to government. Were going to talk to a texas congressman about what theeds to happen. Next. Ask me about whitening all of the time. I tell them the thickness of your enamel determines essentially how white your teeth are going to be. The strength of your teeth needs to be there in order for that whiteness to last. I would definitely recommend pronamel strong and bright to my patients to keep their enamel strong, help to keep stains away, and polish their enamel. Theyre going to get whiter, brighter teeth. This is a really great product for my patients. At holiday inn express, we cant guarantee that youll be able to contain yourself at our breakfast bar. Morning, egg white omelet.

Ends monday President Trump and the first lady returning to texas tomorrow. It will be their second visit to the disaster zone. Meantime, the house to vote as early as next week for the first round of aid to Harvey Victims. Joining us now congressman. What is the state of play on the ground. How are the kesk rescues going . Things are Getting Better in the Corpus Christi region. Im visiting some of the hardest hit areas every day or so, like rockport and every day you see more and more brush piled up. And people are getting a sense of hope as the city is getting cleaned up and electricity is getting restored. Most importantly, Grocery Stores are opening. Youre going to have water issues in some places. Time is going to be an enemy here. The duration of the flooding. The duration of people being displaced. What are your big concerns right now . Obviously its going to be getting people back into their homes once essential services are restored and making those homes habitable again. Its hot and humid in texas and mold is going to be a problem. A wide variety of issue as. Were counting on fema for temporary housing for folks whose homes have become uninhabitable. Were counting on our neighbors to take in their friends and were all working together. That was what im most impressed by. Neighbor helping neighbor. I hope its not going to be too big a challenge but with what we saw with sandy, it might be. Youre heading back to washington, d. C. The president is going to ask for the first wave of funds. The do you think that congress will come together and do a clean relief bill this time . Thats my hope. The big objection that a lot of folks including texas members had to the sandy bill was there as a whole lot of other stuff attached to it that wasnt sandyrelated. So hopefully, this will be something that congress will be able to do. The issue becomes, with the addition additional spending associated with this disaster, we get closer and closer to the debt limit. Congressman, youve heard peter king say im not going to do to you in texas what you did to me in new york. Right . Hes obviously a member of your party. Governor christie, went after republicans for playing topolits during sandy. Do you have a different perspective on this now after what youve seen happen in your own home state . I havent changed my mind at all. Again, objection to sandy was there was a lot of not sandy stuff in that bill. And thats what led texas members, including myself to vote against it. I grew up in south texas. I was a young teen in hurricane seal ya, which just wreaked horrible havoc here. I understand the need for assistance in recovering from a disaster wherever it is but i do have a problem using a disaster to fund whatever else might i hear you about that. And im not going to come at you in the time of disstress down there, but reading through the crs report on what the money was there, even ted cruz had to back off the idea it was two thirds pork or not related to sandy. Its just not true. It was almost all disaster related to easterly things happened earlier or within a few years of sandy that still needed to be done or different states that were affected by sandy and it does seem some of you guys took a really hard line and if that happens this time, your people are going to suffer. I dont think its going to happen. This is the problem we have in washington. You put these mega bills together, and you are voting on all sorts of things that you may not want to vote on, because its all lumped together in one. Lets get these bills, every bill in washington where it can be understood not just by the members of congress but by the american public. Whaeps what happens if its connected to a debt ceiling bill . Would you fight against that and there any chance you would vote against the relief tack pack on for your own state . It may have to be attached to a debt ceiling bill because of the amount of devastation here probably will push us much closer to the debt ceiling. Im not going to like it but i think they can probably throw a debt ceiling in it and id vote for it. I mean, look, it would be hard for you not to see it differently than sandy, its just different when its our yoen state. What would make you not vote for a relief package for texas . Again, it would be very difficult not to, but youve got to understand we have a huge debt crisis in this country, and weve got to we cant ignore it. I dont see how i could vote against it. I was elected to represent the constituents down here. My district took the brunt of the wind storm type damage. Obviously houston has got massive damage from flooding. Its a bad situation down here. There is no question, a bad situation. I remember peter king making a very similar argument to other republicans who were holding up the built. I hope you do end have to make the same arguments this time around, congressman. I hope people do the right thing. There are plenty of ways to save money on the budget. It doesnt have to come on the backs of the harvey survivors. I agree with that. Please let us know what needs to get out. Use us as a resource. We want to help. Thank you very much. Im available and i will let you know. Be
