they are maxed out. they are saying publicly that there are people in need that they just can t get to. there are fires in some neighborhoods where you have fire crews unable to reach them. it is hard to overstate the critical situation that it city finds itself in this morning. alec? you re in a place where you found some either high ground or ground that s not flooded, but we were hearing from jacob rascon earlier that they couldn t get out of the hotel. they had gone in for a little while and, at that point there was no leaving. so while the houston authorities are saying don t leave unless you re in h an emergency. you may be in parts of houston where being in an emergency wouldn t allow you to leave anyway. t reporter: yeah. they are telling people not to take to the streets however there are people out here. the worst of the flooding really took place southeast of the city. we re trying to get there to show people what s going on.
