we started to feel the strong winds pushing through the city in the morning. we also saw flooding throughout the region. you talk about cities like savannah, you talk about tiby island and charleston, south carolina. i want to point this out. charleston dealing with a flash flood emergency this hour activated a short time ago. we ll have a little more on that in just a few minutes. the situation at the airports, the world s busiest airport right here in atlanta, georgia, look at this image here, not so busy in this case, but because of so many flight cancellations and delays. delta airlines, more than 900 of its flights canceled. southwest airlines canceling all of its flights due to dangerous winds crossing through their airport complex. take a look at this. this image from flight aware that gives you a sense of what s described as the misery factor. you see atlanta there front and center with that. also the airports in florida,
this neighborhood and this street. this is highway 124. it s one of the routes into houston. i m going to let this truck go by and give us a splash here. but, it s not going down quick enough for people to get back into their homes. that s what they are waiting for in shelters around here, just to get back in and start the clean up process. again, the city of buford, excuse me, beaumont without water, fred. that s adding to the misery factor. drew, you heard from the general. he said losing the water is a game changer because it could mean the city will come off the grid, which is a disaster into itself. are people worried that things will get worse? reporter: well, you know, this is texas. people are trying to deal with work arounds. you can use basic floodwater with a five gallon bucket to flush a toilet.
