Do, we have a Customer Service hot line that we turned into a nonemergency call center, and weve asked the residents if they need to be rescued and its not an emergency, or if they think they might need to be rescued, that they call that 311. Most of the people unless they get hit later or are near the river. W we are prioritizing those, the residents that can get out of their homes, like i said, were prioritizing them. And also we they do know that we will wait until daybreak. Because of the standing water, so many of the streets and the

they re going down. it s certainly with the thousands of people that have been rescued, we re down to a matter of a hundred or so. i wonder, to the people who see the waters receding and saying houston is out of the woods, what is your message to those people tonight? well, first, the message is that we re not quite out of the woods, because we still have a water event going on, on the west side of the area. and we still haven t gone into the neighborhoods for secondary searches. my heart is still aching. all of us fear that we might find folks in these homes. you look at the destruction here of two-story homes just completely engulfed and covered by water where you can t even see the roof tops. we just fear what we might find. while we re glad we have had
the high water there. the water there, and the flood stage is at 32 feet. to today, it is 48.86 feet. it is going to be climbing to 50 feet, but there is a flood wall there that protects the city up to 53 feet. so they are barely in the safe zone there, and they are holding their breath that the wall will hold. experts believe it will. and 5% of the town is outside of the flood protection system, so they have about 25 homes there affecting about 100 people either cut off or flooded by the mississippi river. all of the water is headed down to the gulf of mexico, and flood advisories up from memphis to new orleans with high water headed their way. francis? good to see the waters receding and the sun out. thank you, charles hadlock. joining me with more is msnbc meteorologist bonnie schneider.
