on the phone with me, the mayor of beaumont, becky aimes. just give me an update on the situation where you are in beaumont. >> well, right now, we're in the middle of some high water rescues. we had stopped doing non-emergency rescues yesterday at dark. we did announce that our citizens early on in the day. however, we did still do emergency rescues. so at daybreak this morning, that's what we started doing, and i guess you could say it's going smoothly. we are -- we were very prepared to begin this rescue. we do exercises all the time. i can't say that we've ever prepared for anything quite of this magnitude, because we have had our emergency operation center stood up since wednesday, and we started getting very heavy rains on saturday night,
