into action overnight by the local fire department needing their resources to get hundreds of people from their homes. hundreds more in need of help over the course of today as this rain continues to fall. i spoke with one family yesterday just north of here in pinder, county. they were packing up as many of their items in a trailer because they realized their home could be destroyed. the cape verde river could rise to the second level of this home. the caution from officials right now in this area is if you feel safe at home, it is okay to stay. the priority right now is getting first responders where they need to. and if you are in trouble, 911 is a working number. call the number and they will do their best to get help to you as soon as possible. and the emergency operations command center right now i'm told there are maps all over the table.
