are watching some of the water temperatures around here, extraordinarily warm. we re watching some deep convection, and they re going to investigate to see if this is going to develop into some sort of circulation. so t.j., this does bear watching. i didn t even get to show you what was happening across the pacific. but we ve got a lot of activity that s taking place here, as well, with sealia and darby, a category 4 and 3, looks like they re going to sizzle out over the next 36 to 42 hours. trying to see what develops in the gulf. thank you so much. speaking of the gulf, a lot of life being torn apar. we re talking about one in particular here that some are blaming on the gulf oil disaster. family and friends of a alabama boat captain blame his suicide on what s happening in the gulf. here now, cnn s david mattingly. reporter: people who now him say allen cruz lived to fish. and those closest to him say
like they were making before all of this started. they are dependent on others. it is a sense of hopelessness, what it sounds like, doctor. you had dealt with a lot of this during the aftermath of hurricane katrina. yeah. the difference is, katrina came and went and then we started picking up the pieces the tuesday afterwards. and we re still doing that. also the difference with katrina is if you you had a professional like carpenter, plumber, doctor, you could move to another city and get a job. not pleasant but you could do that. with these fishermen, for example, that s not so easy. so there are certain sectors of the population that are more vulnerable to depression and perhaps suicide that we look out for. we are in the community i was just going to ask you, if mr. cruz he told friends he feels like a prop because he s out there in the gulf basically doing nothing and he s feeling even more angry at bp
we re operating five crisis centers and we re seeing most commonly depression and anxiety, a lot of depression having to deal with agencies and the legal system. the brunt of our efforts and community centers in addition to financial assistance and helping them file claims is counseling for those symptoms. mr. cruz, the man who committed suicide, said he felt like a prop for bp. he was out there helping to skim oil out of the gulf. he said he felt like a prop. are you hearing that from a lot of people that you re dealing with down there? well, we re really hearing especially from the fishermen and the people in the industries directly involved, they lost their jobs. they lost their livelihood and more than that, their way of life. suddenly they have to deal with the legal system, they have to deal with bp, they have to deal with a lot of forms and certainly i think they feel pushed around, move around. and they can t make decisions
reporter: for 14 days he worked for bp hauling boom and looking for oil. his brothers say he felt his role in the clean-up as a bp vessel are opportunity was worthless. he told he he felt like he was being put out there just for show? yeah. he told his wife that just a little while ago. he told me it was madness. reporter: cruz s friends say he felt overwhelmed by the enormity of the disaster and they re all feeling the stress. this has been a long-term situation. this started in 2004 with a direct hit from hurricane ivan. the next year was katrina. skyrocketing fuel prices. fishing regulations. then an oil spill. this has been six years that this area has really suffered a lot of stress. reporter: stress that his friends believe finally became too much for cruz, and now they re worried about others.
