because the water came up much higher. adjoining the rest of hours now releasing water because they don't want to compromise the reservoirs. it's still an issue. the water still being released and consequently even higher than it was before. hopefully most of houston now will have water going down. in this neighborhood because it is near the reservoir, still going out. yesterday multiple rescues because these people did not accept a flood. this neighborhood is never flooding in 50 years. yesterday it did in a big way. volunteers coming in, some from a local church to do what they could to help. just incredible scenes and incredible displays of emotion by the folks victimized by this flood. take a listen. >> i didn't know who to call. i didn't know if it was going to be too late. >> i see everybody help each other and i'm so happy.
