underway in louisiana this morning. among the crews are members of the volunteer rescue group the cajun navy. they're assembling boats lending resources to high-water rescues and other concerns. >> for more on the effort, we'll bring in jordy westworth from the cajun navy. it's one of the reasons they asked people to get out of the way because they're so worried about this particular period when you have people asking for help in a dangerous situation and help can't quite get there just yet. still too dangerous. where are we on the spectrum of hunkering down to full blown rescues? >> caller: we are getting close to rescues than the hunkering down part, thankfully. it's been a long night waiting to get to sunrise and better conditions to get to some of the people that are trapped. >> we're hearing reports of downed bridges and water levels
