Be done. i want to talk directly to the people in houston right now who have water in their home. we are dealing with record water levels on many of our 22 bayous and creeks in this county and the rain continues to fall. we could expect another eight to 12 inches so what that means it's going to get dark here and all of you who have water in your homes now are most likely going to still have water in your homes tonight when it gets dark and we're talking about tens of thousands of homes with water in them. so the gravity of the situation we have right now in houston is one of the most severe a...

Initial brunt of the storm making landfall as a category 4 last night due to storm surge, but honestly a lot of the damage is yet to come because what we're looking at is torrential inland rains. rainfall is going to be tremendous inland. the river systems are going to have a hard time processing all that water. so a lot of damage is coming, unfortunately. this is going to be an unprecedented long and frustrating event for the state of texas. >> and when you talk about the flooding, certainly the obvious, sir, when you obviously see that there's lots of rain in a path but it also means the ces...
