the waters go so fast you see rain, you don t know that your river is all of a sudden going to rise several feet. reporter: no. i wish i could explain to you or could articulate how beautiful this area is. we drove as far as we could and we hiked down with one of the search teams yesterday. and you re actually hiking down to the river like a valley. it s beautiful there. the river is there. and you look at it and you look up and you realize the water was 20 feet above you. and you would see debris and pieces of buildings and limbs parts of trees stuck up in trees. and then you ve got debris up there. you ve got debris down here wrapped around other trees. it s really an impossible situation to find bodies in. catherine, thanks very much. catherine callaway is in langley, arkansas. that s the flooding i thought we were going to floogd today until we got this flooding in oklahoma city going on right now. we ll have a live report from
disaster. and we have to try to remember that there were also 30 rescue, like you ve been showing have been taking place in oklahoma. but now as you said, death toll up to 20. kevin were indeed children. we are wondering where they are in the search process right now. we know a lot of the search teams have just returned. but officials say, no, we re still out there. there are hundreds of searchers. they ve been working in two-hour increments because it s so hot, the conditions are difficult to get through. this may just be this group leaving and another group coming in to get fresh legs in there and continue to search. catherine, this was not a campground that had records of people coming in or going out with rangers and things like that. what s our best estimate as to when people have called in and said that they ve that somebody s missing, might be in there, what s our best estimate
the water is rising by the second. rescuers are out in force. and arkansas, those flash floods from last week, still reeling from that deadly flooding of its own. and afghanistan. this is a stunning discovery that could change the course of the entire nation. it turns out that afghanistan is sitting on a virtual treasure chest of minerals, and didn t even know it. it could be enough to pay for their war. let s check in the latest from oklahoma county. it s been hit with more than 9 inches of rain within a few hours. and that sparked flash floods across the area. joining me on the phone right now is frank barnes with oklahoma city emergency management. he s the oklahoma city emergency manager. frank, thanks for being with us on the phone. is the worst of this behind us now? caller: well, right now we re seeing a break in the weather, and some things seem to be subsiding. we re still watching to see what the weather brings us later on today. what are we at right now i
into an area for family members there by the red cross. we did talk with some of the survivors and family members. one of the survivors of the tragedy says she s beginning to lose hope. i don t want to try to come to terms with it yet. we ll all have to, though. but there s still a lot, the river hasn t given up the bodies yet. there s more. reporter: they will be in the water in kayaks, in canoes, they have atvs. all, again, searching this some 25-mile area. it s considered the search area that will be looked at today. some parts are actually going back and looking at again because it is just so thick here. very difficult to find these victims. catherine callaway there for
accounted for. reporter: thanks for taking the time, he s had about 30 people walk up to him asking for directions, on what they need to be doing in this search. such a hot day too. but these people are come from far and wide, as far as virginia, to help in this search today. and at 10:00 this morning, central time, some of the family members of some of the victims and miss rg gathing are gatheri church they ve been staying at for a special prayer search. catherine, thank you so much. and again, it is a search and rescue. catherine, we appreciate you so much. well, could the government release an additional $50 billion in stimulus aid? we ve got the details ahead. but first we should have won the game and we were robbed by a poor goalkeeper. so we should have won the game. it was exciting! it was fantastic. all right. the score was a 1-1 tie.
