five-month-old baby stranded on a roof and a grandmother with six grandchildren who cut a hole in the roof to try to escape the rising waters. others are reporting similar folks stranded including eight children, five adults stuck on a highway and they can't get out. two storm shelters that have flooded themselves. keep in mind that surges there in the bahamas have been in excess of 23 feet. never in the history of storms in the bahamas have they seen anything like it or anything as devastating. they have no way to gauge the damage done there because it's not gone from there. just that it is historic and it is sweeping. we're keeping an eye on it. a reason enough for my next guest to say you have to be careful and heed the warnings and you also have to be on the same page as you are, whether in the bahamas or the united states. fellow that knows very well of what he speaks joins us, russell
