Officials say all roads in Western North Carolina should be considered closed amid this severe flooding . The national Weather Service is warning a dam there. Is that risk of imminent failure. We also have new video out of atlanta showing cruises they rescue people trapped in rising waters. At least 25 people across four states have been killed now, Helene Made Landfall as a category four hurricane in floridas big Bend Region last night, this is some of the devastation you can see behind me that was left behind for more on this. Lets go to Cnns Nick Valencia in atlanta. Nick, what is the situation like where you are right now . Danny, you see some of the Water Leftover from that Storm System that ripped through Metro Atlanta last night. But some of this water, believe it or not, is being pumped out of the homes here behind me, out of their basements. In fact, i spoke to a resident who said she had nine feet of water in her basement. You see that where some of this water is coming from, and then you see this man out here hes a cardiologist. We understand at a local hospital, hes got sewage that hes cleaning off his front steps because Theres Sewage Pump just to the offcamera to me. But one of the more harrowing stories that we heard since our several hours of being here is what happened to the owner of that white sedan here, angelina madueke. Shes working the overnight shift at a Bakery And Norcross that she couldnt afford to miss a day of work and even though she knew that tropical Storm Helene was on its way to the area, she had to get to work and she had to get back. She comes through this road all the time, but she didnt really remember understand just the graves here and the flooding. It really basically just emerged your car, you can see some video from earlier today, the Water Level on that car was reaching to the top the window. We caught up with her husband. In fact, it was a meteorologist, a former hln meteorologist, Bob Dylan that was able to risk his own personal safety. He pulled her out of the car and was able to take her to safety we talked to the Womans Husband a short time ago. Tried it all down the window and then the water came in and she was panicked. And say you know, just screaming and wave at them. And thats when bob which they park their Car Pacing Guide away and they didnt know what it was behind them. So realize someone need a help and she came off so if it wasnt for him hearing her yells, she would not have been two. He ran not he would not have been rescued. She would not have been Rescue Services still in the area. You can hear the sirens from a fire, a Fire Engine on its way to help somebody else out, but Take A Look here at the situation. This is another one of the homes that was damaged in this area. All of it under water, just a couple of hours ago, The Sun is out, started to get some of this water back to its normal levels. But you see you hear clearly the Drainage System in issue in the city of atlanta. So officials telling me it may take some time, perhaps several days before these Water Levels go back to normal. Danny. Well, and again, just incredible that that woman in her car was saved and appreciate you telling us that story, nic. Thank you so much. Stay safe. All right now to cnn national correspondent michael yoshida, hes live for us in steinhatchee, florida. Michael, tell us about what youre seeing down there now that The Sun is up, were really starting to get a sense for how Powerful Helene was when it hit this part of florida, right in the big Bend Area in Steen Hatchie can see some of the debris that theyve already started to pile together. All of this from last nights Storm Surge, this entire area was covered with pieces of dark. Some boats that had floated up out of the water as well. And as we walk this way, this entire area was covered last night, we were a little further up The Hill on higher ground, but we saw that Storm Surge come in and really where im standing right now, the Water Wouldve been above me. Another perspective you can see these buildings here. The water was up to about the Roof Level so significant significant amount of money and now, as we look at the cleanup, i want to point out and you can see a doc that was in the water. It was way further up The Hill. Whats now been moved closer to the marina. Thats a new doc the owner of this marina telling me when they were Hit By Idalia Last year, they had most of their dogs destroyed. They had just spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to rebuild them to get ready for this here now, theyve been hit by yet another storm. They were hoping these new dogs would survive this storm. Obviously you can see significant damage here in Steen Hatchie. A lot of cleanup ahead as were just again, really getting a sense its from officials. How bad the damage was as they start their assessments well, and again, just wild to think that that water may have been above your head not too long ago. Michael yoshida. Thank you so much for that report lets go now to the Cnn Weather Center with meteorologist elisa raffa, at least whats in store for the next few hours . Danny, were still looking at this Flood Threat continuing as we go through the Day Today Helene is a tropical depression, so its starting to lose its skeleton, but that doesnt mean that it wont produce this Flooding Rain and continues to do that across the carolinas. We still have tropical Storm Force gusts cincinnati, gusting up to 40 five miles per hour, louisville, 40 mile per hour gusts at charleston, winds are gusting to 31 miles per hour. You could see the rain is stretching all the way into Southeast Missouri and then the Carolina Coast there. So again, very wide storm as weve been talking about, look at the flood, watches all of that green areas where risk seeing some of this Heavy Rain from helene. Weve really been focusing on the Western Carolinas, all of this white outline means that those are Flash Flood emergencies. That is the highest level that we have to alert people about rising waters and Flash Flooding. It has been catastrophic. Whats been going on in Western Carolinas out there today . Theyve had so much rain. The rain is tapering off, but that doesnt mean its over because now the rivers are aggravated there rising, getting to record levels and then spilling. So just incredible to see whats been going on around the asheville area, hickory, the mountains in the foothills, some of these Rainfall Totals have been over a foot. Well over a foot. All these kinds of purples that you see here near asheville are the totals that are over ten inches. This is also a mountainous areas, so the Terrain Isnt really good at taking in this war, but has nowhere to go, but to rush down the mountain. And thats where you get these landslides that are such a concern. Heres a look at some of these rain totals. I mean, some of these mountains here in North Carolina, were approaching 30 his of rain, 30 inches, 13 inches has fallen in asheville. So again, the river problems will continue as we go into the weekend. Danny, just incredible when you see just how much rain that area might i mean, had to take in elisa raffa. Thank you so much for that report. Brianna, joining us now is the mayor of Cedar Key, florida, sue colson mehr. Youre on the phone with us. Obviously, theres a lot of damage to your area there. Were seeing at the pictures really hard to absorb here. Tell us what youve been able to get out and see in your community well, its pretty much other Desk Desert rather. Just debris we are very Old Town and we have historic buildings. Weve lumped a lot of those. Father the new homes, and were very, very environmentally friendly town and we have a wonderful Clam Industry when we produced farmraised clamps here. So were concerned about Water Quality and all this debris is just a multi multifaceted mess. Its a beautiful community on its best day. And i think we are seeing it here on its worst day it Cedar Key can only be accessed by one bridge. Can you tell us is it open . No, it is not at this time and its because we have too much damage on land that we have to secure. The Propane Tanks that are floating around that are not turned off properly and can cause fires or explosions we also have had a Fire Today and theres a lot of Down Wires and theres a lot of debris thats extremely dangerous so until we can clear the roadways and make it somewhat safe, we cant let our people and we also dont have any sewage water, or electric. So theres really not a whole lot to be able to sustain people being here some people though, dozens. I know you had said decided to stay not quite 100, but they decided not to evacuate have they all been accounted for at this point 0. 0 . Yes. Oh, yes. We have a very detailed list that went out and we had people go out and secure that they were there and made sure that they were safe and no one and no injuries. That is fantastic news. Can you tell us i mean, you are detailing so much damage, so many needs for your community. Do you have what you need for recovery . What are you going to be asking for . What do you want the state to know . Well, we have to ask for first of all, patients for our people that they have to understand. Were doing the best we can as fast as we can. Number two, from our agencies to give us relief as fast as th timing and then were going to need lots of dollars to fix it. We always get a lot of volunteers that come from our surrounding communities. But we cant bring them in quite yet because its not quite safe enough so we want everybody to hold on so we can get them in and we want we want assist with money from agencies in things that we need to put the infrastructure back. We need the Sewage Treatment fixed, we need fixed. We may have Saltwater Intrusion in harwells, so theres a lot of issues and its not one simple problem. And were very small community, so it makes it difficult yeah. Certainly. And were seeing were seeing the damage. It is it is going to be a long road ahead mirror. Thank you so much for joining us.
