coordination center. in one of the southeast counties teams were doing water rescues and flood evacuation. one of the teams in their boat, a number of firefighters got pinned up against a bridge pier by moving water. and ended up having to be rescued themselves. and actually transported to the hospital for evaluation. this is extremely dangerous work. and we actually would like to thank the citizens that heeded the message to not go out and not put themselves in situations. the first responders have performed valiantly over the last 24 to 36 hours. starting early yesterday morning and working throughout the day and overnight hours, local first responders both volunteer and career have tirelessly responded to numerous water rescue and flooding situations to rescue and evacuate those in need. open roads, clear debris, and restore utilities. and to give you kind of a sense or a context of this, one of the counties we re working with last night on a conference call

seemed like a key piece of evidence. the railroad bridge had a concrete pier that was holding up the bridge structure, and there was very fresh damage to the concrete of that bridge pier. something had hit the point of the pier. was it one of the mauvilla s barges? had the mauvilla caused the sunset limited to derail? when we found the left-hand barge, there was a similar mark of scraped paint and an indentation into the metal. in fact, it kind of looked t-shaped, which would indicate that the barge hit the top or flat portion as well as the edge of it, and it kind of gave it a little t-shaped mark. the other barges revealed more surprising clues. the center barge also had damage. there were vertical scrapes and an indentation.
