Former navy seal, bridging a congressman, scott taylor joins us and he is outnumbered. Welcome, sir. Representative taylor is great to be with you and i am no doubt one lucky guy. Sandra very good, its good to have you. Obviously another big day monitoring harvey. We begin with the potentially dire situation at the Chemical Plant in crosby where there were reports of explosions overnight. The Harris County sheriffs saying the smoke presented no danger to the committee, although federal authorities warn its in dangerous. 14 deputies were taken to the hospital as a precaution. A short while ago, sheriff ed gonzales reassured a jittery public that there was no imminent danger. Watch. Our chemical akam Company Officials say these chemicals are similar to stating over a burning campfire. We believe this smoke is a nontoxic irritant. The Fire Marshals Office plan from the beginning to allow this fire to burn itself out. Firefighters are taking a defensive posture to prevent it from spreading. Sandra matt finn joins us live from outside the plant. Matt . As you just mention, theres some conflicting information here on the ground. First, arkema, the Chemical Company says this was a Chemical Reaction and anything released into the air is an irritant, not a toxin. The sheriff says what people might be breathing and is similar to brazilian smoke from a camp fire. An executive says hes not entirely sure how dangerous these materials might be. Are these toxic . Out there noxious. I did on the composition of the smoke, but its certainly noxious. You cant say whether or not its toxic. How close hold on coming into the question. Its noxious. The arkema Chemical Company said it closed last week in preparation for hurricane harvey. Ed brought in brecht up generators, but those flooded. It brought in liquid nitrogen, but that failed. These chemical compounds dont have refrigeration and are combusting. Officers went doortodoor asking people to leave. Highway 90 is closed, there are a few road closures in this area, so it is a developing situation, one that is certainly worrisome here in the ground. We will follow it throughout the day and keep you updated. Sandra, back to you. Sandra obviously, very jittery about the situation. Thank for the update. Meanwhile, rescue operations still in effect. This dramatic scene was caught on camera in beaumont where a man was spotted clinging to a tree. He had reportedly been stranded since 4 00 in the morning and was too weak to grab the rope rescuers through to him. Eventually they drove their boat right into the trees and were able to pull them into safety. Listen. They got that and drifted to him and they caught that and went around the tree. We thought we lost him, he went quiet, so we were screaming and hollering at him and hollering at him and we really thought we lost him. He hollered out and grabbed the tree. We drove the boat is has to be could up to the trees. As far as we could before the current and had the boat sideways. Sandra amazing story of a rescue. Meantime, evacuation orders have been issued for neighborhoods near the Barker Reservoir and houston where homes are underwater. Griff jenkins is live. Thats right, there are new evacuation orders coming in overnight. In the neighborhood where i am, just one of them thats going to be flooded, expected to be floated for the next several weeks. Today, sheriff is going out on pet rescues. Early in the morning, they were going doortodoor to make sure there were no humans left him another doing pet rescues. Owners like randy here going after his wifes cat, sophie. Randy, first of all, tell us about rescuing sophie. We had to go in and rescue her because we didnt take her with us, we didnt realize the water was going to be up for 45 weeks. There was no way she could live that long. Can we poke her head out . Wouldnt you leave . When you have to get out . We left monday when the water started coming into our house. We figured it was time to go. Where you rescued . We had to wait it out and about chest deep water and some one pick this up in a boat. Im not sure who they were. Seconds ago, we rescued this cat, whats this cats name . Haley. She put up a pretty good fight. What happened . We had to corner the cat and wait tried to get her in the box, we lost her again. We went back underneath the bed and we flipped the bed and she got caught in for an of the door and thats when she surrendered. Talk to us about these missions. This is a bright spot of what has been the most devastating six days that a lot of people around here seen ever. It is, its the saving grace in something tragic. Your reuniting family members, pets, within families. Its heartbreaking to see this devastation, but this is the saving grace. They were able to get their families out and now they have their animals, what a blessing it is. Lastly, let me followup, while youre taking pets out here, you have like the river south of the city that are still very much in the line of fire. We are considered about the river on the west side of the county and communities along the river. Right now, its around 35 feet, theyre expecting about 56 feet sometime around 10 00 a. M. Trial morning. Weve exceeded that by a couple of inches, so we are preparing ourselves along the river. What will that mean for the folks down there . Again, we hope people have heeded the warnings and they have left their residences. At this point in time, we will be getting a lot of resources on that side of the county to prepare for the worst. If i could, just one last thing, were floating in front of aarons home. Aaron, when we came here, we passed your truck, youre in construction, thats your livelihood, its underwater. Now we are in front of your house. Hasnt even hit you what happened and what you plan to do . That rate there is a hit. If i could go back, i would have stashed the truck. Thats my probably number one downfall. There you go, were doing pet rescues out here and folks getting their most prized possessions, their animals, but facing obviously tough road ahead. Sandra thank you to those brave americans rescuing those in need and continuing to road is once they give it reporting. Congressman Scott Taylors on the couch with us. And new evacuation order, waters is still rising, people still in imminent danger. Representative taylor theres a still threat out there. You have that water, you have sewage potentially, there are a lot of threats and its important to folks out there and texas to heed warnings of officials, but i will say, there is simply Amazing Stories out there from first responders, regular folks, people around the country. And virginia, theres folks helping out. In all this tragedy, there are some incredible stories out there. Sandra kennedy, watching agyeman right there with the cowboy hat on saying this is the saving grace to see people come together and helping out each other, helping out our neighbors. Kennedy absolutely. I talked to one storm survivor the other day who talked about the water rising in his house and they had to make that immediate decision to get output or a neighbor had a boat in his teenage son got on snapchat until those funds were they were and they sent a canoe over to rescue that family. I asked him, how do you decide what you take out of the house . He said, thats the hardest part. He got really choked up thinking about the mementos and the birth certificates and some of the pictures and your kids artwork and things will never be able to get back and i think of those first responders. We are eight days into this storm. Look at the reporters faces out there and theyre exhausted anything about the firefighters and the Police Officers in the emergency workers, not to mention the neighbors who have been working day and night in homes like this. Sandra these are life pictures coming in from houston. Kr iv showing these pictures. Thats a camera going by on about where we just saw literally its showing the top inches of pickup trucks. Trish its awful. Its awful for the all these people. I covered the aftermath of katrina and one of the things you can never fully convey on camera is a how rough it is there and how hard it is to see this and how people are so challenged. First of all, our heart goes out to everyone there and we want to make sure everybody is safe. Beyond that, this is a very difficult, very true medic thing go through. You are now confronted with, the fact that you are still there and okay, but now youve lost everything. So few people have insurance and they have to start over. In many cases, people have lost their jobs, you have refineries that are shutting down. They may not have worked to go back to. They may not have a home to go back to. They may not have those cherished photographs, there were hard copies. Sandra there are water rescues happening right now. The one we showed you at the top there was a man who had been clinging to a tree so long that he didnt have the strength to actually grab onto the rope that was thrown to him. He had to go directly underneath. Thus the situation now. Some of these people have been clinging onto their lives for so long that there week. The situation is changed by the minute. Marie absolutely. These stories, the comical plant, if it tells us anything, this is going to be a challenge for houston and the region not for months, but for years. One of the things of been so asked ordinary with the journalists who have been out there telling these stories, telling these stories of people coming together, of americans, for us to do the news, when other things happen, Congress Comes back, we need to keep the focus on whats happening in houston, how theyre rebuilding, what they still need. When the news moves elsewhere, we as americans need keeping attention. These stories have showed us how this is. Trish thats so true. I love what i do, i think we all love our jobs, but at times like this, you really feel that this is when the media is most needed because those people right there, there struggling and they will continue to struggle and they need people to care. The only way we will care is if we can get their stories out. Its an credibly valuable with the media is doing right now and all this storytelling is very important. Every single one of those people, individual, every sigel one of those people is facing a struggle, no matter what side of the aisle thereon, no matter where they come from, very victim of the strategy to to me tragedy representative taylor as americans, we go to the aid of our neighbors and we help them out and hopefully when we get back next week, this will be addressed because it is important and youre right, this will be a years worth thing there. Its important that theres accountability and everything and hopefully this isnt a kind of put a go football, we come together to the aid of our neighbors. Kennedy thats a wonderful reminder, the needs of others, they put them so easily ahead of their own and thats whats been so inspiring about this. To tricias point about the media and using this platform, you have people with higher profiles who is raised 10 million so far, like j. J. Watt. Hes one of the best players in the league and he is using his position to raise that kind of money and is people like him who reminded him, dont forget about this. We have so much going on internationally and at home, theres so much drama that we have to remember this. Representative taylor i have a company in my district who has a story down in houston and they want to get involved to it around the country, et cetera wonderful thing. There are folks with highlevel platforms we should be out there and we should commend these people. Sandra want to reiterate, we are staying on the sly picture because its quite frankly amazing that we have this shot. This is someone on a boat. Every once in a while you see the camera turnaround. It is Griff Jenkins crew and you saw the camera pan around, they made rescues on the boat, animal rescue, people rescues. Were back on this image, what is the discussion youre having with your colleagues before returning next week about this . Obviously theyre doing their own thing right now. Ive tried to make a couple phone calls to numbers in texas, havent been able to get a hold of them. I know theyre safe, i know theyre busy. I want to alert them to some companies where im from that want to help out. I havent had major discussions, just within the virginia delegation, weve talked about it. There is discussion about what we were talking about. Those things should fall to the wayside as we go and help americans who are in need, quite frankly. I have talked to folks were down there. Theres a bunch of former sales in texas and theyve sent pictures of their houses on the devastation, its a tragedy. As i said, just like americans, regular americans, law enforcement, forecastle rela nation are coming together to help these folks. Sandra Governor Greg Abbott has been giving frequent updates. Its unbelievable to thing but the coronation between local and state officials, the federal government, not just whats happening today with these rescue efforts, but then you think about the daunting task that lies before them in the days and weeks to come. Representative taylor im in hurricane alley. Virginia beach and we see this type of stuff, not of this magnitude, but there are a lot of lessons to learn and the coronation between agencies and local, state and federal are key. Ive been impressed, quite frankly of that coordination between the Different Levels of government and again, to all the civilians out there as well. Therell be a lot of lessons learned. Kennedy particularly Hurricane Katrina and how long fema waited to get on the ground. They dont have the luxury of stalling anymore. Officials have figured out some of these relief organizations like the red cross, they get right in their and individuals have realized that too. Thats whats so cool about texas. This responsibility for the people and personal responsibility. When you cordon eight that with appropriate government response sandra look at that. Thats an ambulance. Fully submerged. Marie we talk a lot about bad things that happen on the internet. One thing is the amazing, good way people have been able to mobilize, to help. Whether it was that cajun navy or someone else, we have seen the good side of the internet. I think getting these person stories out, getting people who want to help, its right place to do that. For me, it has been lifesaving. Katrina was just long ago, we had the internet, but we were not watching it in the same way that griffin and our team are able to bring it to us. Trish sure, the internet for sure. And the ability for people kennedy particularly social media. Those apps like snapchat or twitter, even instagram and people able to message others to let them know where they are. Sandra pass atop of the car. Perspective is everything. To give you an idea of the rising water level there, to go back to the point of some of those rescuers that we heard the top of the hour. The water level in some areas is still rising. Representative taylor the threats to remains and it will for a while. Once the levels go down, youll still have issues inside the water, you have mosquitoes, potentially disease that will be spread. Alligators, their reporting about 330 of them, there are still a lot of threats for a while to come. Sandra reminder to everybody that Vice President mike pence is expected along the ground along with the second lady there in the texas area to survey the damage. Hes excited theyre just moments. We continue to follow this devastation out of texas, plus president from hitting the road to sell the g. O. P. Tax reform plan that he says will boost the middleclass in this this country.

Sandra fox news laurent harvey, now a tropical depression. Rescue efforts are underway as the waters are slowly receding across southeastern texas, but many evacuees have no homes to return to. Governor greg abbott saying there are no more than 32,000 people in shelters across the state and they have an additional 3,000 beds available, if needed. All this is the search for survivors is far from over. Lots of water. Water above the roofs of cars, houses, about 4 feet from the second story. Electricity is a big issue. I didnt want to leave my babies. Sandra peter doocys life from a Convention Center. Thank you for your continued coverage on this. What is happening at the Convention Center . We just caught up with Sheila Jackson lee and said she had to be taken out of her house by high water vehicle a few days ago. She said she knows this is not going to be sustainable for very long. This is organized, but its not a full time and lifelong place. People want to go home and i walked these hallways before saying is there a way for us to get home . We dont know what the conditions of their home will b be. Thats where fema comes in. There trying to plan how many people will need shelter and a staged a 4. 6 million meals and 5. 1 million liters of water to send to harveys hardest hit areas in the coming days. The Emergency Management agency has already spent nearly 60 million taking care of survivors and a number of people who need their help keep rising. Three in houston, one in dallas, search and rescue come out well over 10,000 people just on federal forces alone have been rescued and that number is going to climb. Here in Harris County were houstons, local officials are trying to consolidate about 40 small shelters and into shelter shelters. They teamed up with a local grocery store. Nrg stadium has 8,000 open cots, so they dont think overcrowding would be a problem, even so, it sounds like a lot of harvey survivors are staying in the houston area and we are getting that word this morning from officials and austin, texas, who had planned to open up a maker shelter there this morning, but they are putting those plans on hold for now because they say a lot of people who were flooded out in houston are staying relatively close by until they can get in to see how bad the damages at their house. Sandra peter, what are you hearing from people who are the Convention Center right now . Obviously some of them have been there for days, some have just gotten there hours ago. What is their mood like in their morale . People have a lot of questions. On top of whether or not their house is going to be there and what their belongings look like. Theres a big room here to our right where i just but did a big lap. There are people who are getting legal advice, there are people who are getting advice from the Health Department about their houses and about potentially Health Problems of their own, and there are others who are sitting around watching some coverage of the storm on a big Projector Screen just to see if they can get a glimpse of what the area that they are displaced from looks like. People are calm, but people really have no idea what is going on too far outside of the Convention Center except what theyre seeing on tv because so many areas that these hubler coming from our complete and accessible. You either run into a roadblock, water, or authorities who tell you have to turn around. People just dont know and they dont know how long its going to be until they get answers. For now, people are patient, but curious. Obviously, nobody is particularly happy to be here, but they have everything they need for a few days and they are just sitting on the edge of their seats as they wait for award from authorities when they can go back. Sandra i just say with you for a minute because there is a split screen and read going to continue showing you live pictures of areas around houston, rescue efforts, Recovery Efforts continuing, but on the bottom of your screen, you are seeing a fox news alert running right now. Were getting word of a hospital in beaumont has been forced to evacuate its patients due to flooding. Peter, were getting new information on this as we speak, but it brings up a very good question about the Convention Center and some of these facilities that are housing those that had been rescued from their homes and other places. Are they getting medical attention if needed in the center . There are doctors and nurses here who can look at folks. We hear there have been about 70 or 80 people who needed to be taken elsewhere to hospitals for more serious care once they got here. Anybody that has any kind of a problem, it is so well organized by the federal officials, by the local officials. Everything will staffer and volunteer is externally knowledgeable as are the houston Police Officers inside and outside who are here to maintain order just to make sure that these people, if they have a question, if they dont feel safe, that everything is really. If they need medical attention, they can get it. If they have needing a flame stomach plane, not much is open. Sandra peter doocy, thank you. I want to get right to these live pictures right now because youre seeing doctors, jackets, scrubs, that is because we now have the images in beaumont, texas, of this hospital that was just forced to evacuate, we are told because they had no longer had Running Water to begin with. Obviously electricity has been an issue, but heres what we know about that Southeast Texas hospital. It had to evacuate 200 patients by air after the local water supply failed because of flooding from harvey. Theyre saying right now the hospital is working with health care to move patients to facilities that that system has and that houston suburb, pasadena and elsewhere, its not known yet if beaumonts other hospital is being evacuated, but this is what we know about this particular hospital. Baptist Beaumont Hospital, the main pumping station there loss of service. They no longer had Running Water. These are live images, obviously that youre seeing right now of hospital workers jumping in and trying to aid in the end back you asian of these nearly 200 patients that were in that hospital. I open this up to the couch as we watch these life pictures, this is unbelievable. Kennedy it is under legal because hospitals oftentimes are fortified with their own facilities. They are still self sufficient obviously. This storm is unlike anything that these places have been able to deal with. We know the water supply has been compromised in beaumont as well and its very heroic. Sandra as i said, these 200 patients need to be evacuated by air. Were going to stay on this for you, well have more on the other side, will be right back. Four weeks without the car. Okay, yup. Good night. With accident forgiveness your rates wont go up just because of an accident. Switching to allstate is worth it. But prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered. In jellyfish. In clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve shortterm memory. Prevagen. The name to remember. Sandra fox news alert, youre looking at live images of hospital patients nearly 200 of them now have to be evacuated from a hospital in Southeast Texas. Thats Beaumont Hospital being evacuated because they no longer have water supply. It has failed doing to flooding from harvey. In these images, you have seen the doctors themselves, nurses themselves, carrying patients out one by one, having to be airlifted. Large emergency contingency to those hospitals. You can draw conclusions about hospitals who have to evacuate. The Hospital System saying due to the failure of the citys water pump, its in the best interest of our current patients to transfer to other acute care facilities. Due to the citywide lack of services, we have no other alternative than to discontinue all services which will include Emergency Services. This is being done immediately and before your very eyes, those helicopters carting off patients from the Southeast Texas hospital has just been shut down due to flooding and therefore, no water. Kennedy its been impossible for rescue crews to reach some of the most vulnerable citizens they are. They got over 2 feet of rain. These proportions of the weather, its impossible to quantify the magnitude, but you still have some in a vulnerable citizens who are not only chapped, they have no hospital to go to and they cant drink or bathe in the water so if someone goes out into the floodwaters to rescue one of their neighbors, when the first things youre supposed to do is take a shower to decontaminate yourself and in beaumont, they can even do that. A bad situation grows even dire. We may see a little but of son herein there, theyre still in the thick of the storm. Trish theyre waiting on water deliveries from houston apparently. There are shelters as well in beaumont, so you had to be concerned about those folks there. I would imagine they have a lot of bottled water. You saw anheuserbusch switching gears in their factory to be able to package water as opposed to beer and get those shelters. For a hospital like that to have two airlift hundreds of patients 200 patients, those peoples lives in this whole process are some cases likely in jeopardy. If youre getting Emergency Services at a hospital, youre in need of those Emergency Services, so as a challenging trip for them as they tried to locate everyone right now. Sandra where to put those patients, the hospital saying they are working with hca health care to move those physicians. Mike pence, the Vice President has now arrived. We are told we have images of that coming in, here we go. The Vice President and his wife, the second lady arriving to survey the damage from harvey in this area and there he is, along with his wife. They arrive in this storm ravaged area and texas just moments ago and corpus christi. As we saw, the president a couple of days ago in the very same spot. He is greeting Governor Abbott there and his wife and Governor Abbott will give him an update on the search and rescue mission there, the Recovery Efforts that are ongoing. Mike pence just arriving on the ground. This is a crucial moment for the country to see our nations biggest leaders on the ground there to survey the damage, just to see how bad it is and we have to think this is something that the residence, its heartwarming to see them come down there because they really get a grasp of what theyre experiencing and all of this, congressman, scott taylor on the couch with us, ahead of the president making another visit to the area this weekend an undisclosed location. Representative taylor leadership matters, so its important we have them on the ground to show they care and they understand whats going on. Youre seeing the navy was in beaumont, theyre trying to bring water there, the National Guard, getting Text Messages from folks in the navy who are monitoring this, folks in louisiana who are trying to get there. Its great to see leadership taking place there and from the bottom all the way to the top basically. Kennedy the next step is congress. Congress has no time to squabble. We talk about lessons that fema and local governments have learned from katrina and hopefully congress has learned its own lesson from Hurricane Sandy and not to squabble over the funding. When you see images like this still ongoing, this is going to be happening next week when you and your colleagues finish her recess, so when you go back, youll have to tackle this. You only have 12 days between when you reconvene and when the government can potentially shut down. How do you fit in this critical funding for these hurricane victims . Representative taylor dont put pork in the bill. Get the funding thats needed to help, lets be great neighbors. We have a packed schedule in september, we can get it done. You see things getting done on the ground and around the country, we can do our part. Trish what will be needed . You talk about needing 105 billion estimates today of 160 billion. Will there be willingness from both sides, friendly democrats who may stand a bit in opposition to a Republican Congress to do they need to do . Sandra as you can see, Vice President mike pence and his wife karen pence, shaking hands with the Governor Greg Abbott from the state of texas right now. The Vice President just landed on the ground in corpus christi. Several other cabinet members, they are going to be meeting with victims of the hurricane and theyll be traveling to the town of rockford. The population about 10,000. It took a direct hit from harvey when it made landfall, so the Vice President on his way. Representative taylor its a great question. When you look at these pictures and some of the stories that you have played here and you see folks who are in need, whether black white khmer brown, mccright, republican, straight, who cares . I think its important to make sure that congress is held accountable, whatever you felt about somebody in the past or moving forward, that should fall by the wayside right now. I dont know about a specific number, but its important that we come to the aid of our neighbors, no question. Sandra we continue to watch his live images. The Vice President has landed, hes on the ground there and your thoughts immediately return to those nearly 200 patients who just got word of having to be evacuated one by one, airlifted out of that hospital in Southeast Texas as a result of flooding, leaving them with no water. Kennedy by the way, those shelters that people were and in beaumont, texas, where sony had been displaced. We dont have Running Water, that means you cant flush toilets. Sandra weird went to sammys life pictures, will continue on its coverage of hurricane harvey. And these rescue efforts that are ongoing, will be right back. For over 75 years.

Kennedy fox news alert, youre looking at the left side of your screen and beaumont, texas, where a hospital has now made the decision that they have to evacuate nearly 200 patients, including those that were in Emergency Services in that hospital. They are being airlifted one by one there. As you can see from the medical staff themselves, on the right set of your screen, continued rescue and Recovery Efforts happening in houston. Heres what we know about that hospital in Southeast Texas. They are evacuating nearly 200 patients by air after their local water supply failed because of the flooding from harvey. Baptist Beaumont Hospital folks are saying the pumping station lost service so the hospital no longer had water that was safe to drink. Access to the hospital is low but at this time, so patients will be airlifted to other facilities as youre seeing happen right now live in your screen, the hospital themselves put this out on their website that due to the failure of the citys water pump, it is in the best interest of our current patients to transfer to other acute care facilities. Due to the citywide lack of services, we know longer have an alternative but to discontinue all services which include Emergency Services. This is being done immediately. It is the hospitals official statement there. Something more we are learning about the Beaumont Hospitals of Southeast Texas, their general medical and surgical hospitals that survey data for the last year show that 77,000 patients visited this hospitals emergency room. The hospital had a total of 16,000 omissions, just trying to get you some brandnew information on the hospital there as those patients continue to be airlifted. Water rescues is still underway. An aerial shot here of the damage in that area, just a few moments ago, we saw Vice President mike pence and his wife, karen pence, land on the ground there and corpus christi. The motorcade then took off to rockport texas where they will be meeting with victims and surveying the damage from on the flooding that is happening right now. The rescue efforts still underway and people, condiments got taylor on the cutlass today, people are still in imminent danger. Some levels are receding, summarizing. Representative taylor no question about what bruising and beaumont. One of the things we are about in break, use on the black hawk thats helping to airlift some folks, but the military has and capabilities, the National Guard, the navy, its important that we have leaders from washington that are down there, were seeing what needs to be, what resources potentially needs to be brought to help our neighbors and i cant say enough of how im impressed by local, state, and federal cooperation coronation and every day americans. Kennedy e want to maintain life is much as possible appeared as a floodwaters receded, it could be a really dire situation. In beaumont, it doesnt so mike its a Critical Care facility, so these patients can be transported a little bit more easily as opposed to somewhere where nicu and a post surgical facility would have to transfer, but thing but the things you cant do if you dont have water. You cant drink water, you can flush toilets, you cant sterilize any equipment including your hands. Seeing that transfer any taco of the Navy Hospital and all of the places that are now being made available in this effort to preserve life. Sandra these pictures are amazing, first of all from the standpoint of theirs no one else there to help. These are the doctors and the nurses themselves that are helping these patients get on the stretchers, to load them onto the helicopters, get them stabilized, make sure that they are safely transferred and airlifted out of this area, but you can also see the help from military personnel, getting off at helicopter themselves. Representative taylor for a temporary hospital to be set up by a National Guard marie do you remember after katrina, so may people fled to houston and ended up resettling there because they didnt want to go back to new orleans and rebuild. I keep thinking about the people that have now been through this twice. Its heartbreaking, but to have to lift your katrina and now harvey. Trish there is a very interesting article today on exact way that. I read some papers this morning, but i remember being on the ground after katrina at the houston astrodome with all these people who are so traumatized and to think of them and there were tens of thousands going through the exact same thing again, it is really heartbreaking. The hospital, i think you make a good point, hopefully its no one that for example, a small baby that would be an neonatal care or somebody who just had a heart operation and is recovering from that, that would be very difficult to get people out.
