and the thing that kept me going was just like i said, you know, seeing children and women there, you know, defenseless against this storm with rising waters. when my relative contacted me that the water levels in an hour pretty much moved about 4 feet. and as we were rescue, it moved another foot and a half. so i did not want to leave people out there to die if i was in a position to help. >> what we're learning i think right now, desean, is the steeliness of those from the bahamas. i spoke with another resident, a college student there, and he was saying the same thing, he stuck around, he is going to stick around, he won't run away from this fire. what is it that you need right now? i have heard anecdotes of waiting for a loaf of bread for hours, of waiting to get a gallon of gas for hours. and those are sort of the indications -- no running water, no electricity. the words used in this situation, humanitarian crisis. what do you need?
