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.
