tried to balance covering politics and the storm which has had a devastating effect. we'll be back next sunday. see you then with the latest buzz. eric: we are keeping an eye on a coast guard command center in houston. any minute now we expect scene update on the rescues under way in the city pummeled by hurricane harvey. the country's 4th largest city is shut down. it's shaping up to be an historic level of flooding causing heartbreak and widespread damage. there have been 1,000 water rescue as overnight. there are reports of people trapped in their attics and on their roof. we are told 24 hours of rain is

still ahead and the worst could be yet to come. i'm eric shawn, this is "america's news headquarters." arthel: entire neighborhoods under water. officials telling people to stay indoors and only call 911 if their lives are in i am nernlt danger. adam klotz is tracking the storm. how much rain is headed houston's way? reporter: these numbers just keep climbing and climbing. so far this is from the system that made landfall. this your legend up at the top. we are getting into the 12 to 16-inch range. a wide area where we have seen heavy rain. and there are those numbers.

15, 16, 17, 18 inches of rain already. and it's still raining and it will be range for days. here is the last 24 hours. you will see where it moved on to shore but where all the rain has been falling father up the coast. again, just rounds and rounds of heavy showers, thunderstorms, isolated tornadoes within the system. and that's what we have been seeing and continue to see the heavy rain. flash flood watches and warnings in place from houston running over to portions getting close to louisiana towards the lake charles area. the ground is already saturated. so the additional rain has nowhere to go but to pile up and continue to climb. here is our future radar. i'm taking you here into the afternoon. you just continue to see the spinning. what's happening is this is

picking moisture up off the gulf of mexico running it up on to the coast. it will funnel that warm air, moist air over the east texas coast and showers and rounds of showers continue to fall, stretching over to the louisiana area which is why they are under that flash flood warning. but it lingers through sunday into monday. unfortunately that means there is a lot more rain on the way. this is all additional somewhat we have already seen. this all new. and you are talking about numbers pretty easily getting up to 15-20 inches. there are going to be spots maybe getting higher than that. i'm talking about an additional. we are seeing the flooding video, 25-30 inches of rain in several locations. we are talking about historic levels of flooding. i'm afraid there will be more to come. arthel: not the forecast we need

for houston, but it is happening. eric: rescue operations under way and ongoing in front of griff jenkins who is live in east houston. some of the highways have turned into rivers. you have a rescue behind you. reporter: this is the houston rescue squad, flood squad. task force 10. they launched two submersive boats. they have two jet skis. i don't believe you can see it. a car was trapped here on the west side. and they just brought a gentleman who was trapped in there who could not get out of the vehicle. is that guy going to be okay? >> he's good. reporter: the resources with

these rescue teams are absolutely tapped. they have had 1,000 or more rescues just like this trying to get to people. you have the emergency officials here in harris county just pleading, begging for people, do not call 911 unless it's dire. and you do have these situations. it's hard for our viewers to understand, they are seeing these pictures of cars and flooding and just how much of an impact it's having on this community, the fourth largest city in the nation. it's paralyzing the city as the rescue crews who prepared for it. the forecasters who said it was going to be that bad, they are having trouble getting their resources in there where the cries for help are coming from because there are so many. they are being rescues not because they want to evacuate. they are being rescued because

their life is threatened. the water on the vehicle rescues here is up to the windows. if he can't swim, he's in trouble. look how fast that water is moving. that but the stop there nearly submerged. you come back to the difficulty of what these people are having to go through. er in not on a coordinated gps system like we are. they are simply responding to cries. and this sort of stuff, sending the goats and the jet skis out there. i can not commend them more. we spoke to the head of task force 10 and i said it's been a long morning for you? he said it just won't stop. i said what do you need? he said i just need people to

really assess whether or not you need to pick up that phone and call for help. it needs to be absolutely dire. because they are so limited in their ability to respond. they say if you are in your house and you are getting an inch, two feet. it's terrible. but unless it's life-threatening get on the roof. we'll get this for the next 24 hours. the houston were harris county flood control saying it's been 24 inches in the last 24 hours. a 500-year record. what you are seeing playing out is perhaps the worst flood event in history. and these guys work around the clock to try to save lives. one confirmed fatality in houston when a woman got stranded in the water just like this gentleman got out and was

unable to make it without drowning. that whole thing about turn around, don't drown. that advice no longer valid. because when you turn around there is likely no place to go because the entire city is flooding.

. eric: the tremendous deluge you are experiencing.

people are being told to stay put in their homes and not go in the attic. if it's a dire emergency go to the roof. is there a sense they have to get more federal resources in there? reporter: i think at this point the answer to that is yes. it's surprising to me to not see a lot of national guard down here to see. on twitter about an hour or two ago galveston county was asking for boats. if you have a boat and it's available bring it. they need it for rescues. these are the hpd rescue vehicle and boats. but they are going to run out. it was surprising there weren't more federal resources prepositioned in the area. they did do a good job of preparing. we heard that and have seen a lot of police and law

enforcement along the road as we travel yesterday. but then as we saw this morning highways offramps, everything getting flooded. at that point the situation changed dramatically. it's not the preparation as much the speed with which this has deteriorated and become beyond an emergency and into the crisis you see playing out. more resources, you betcha, bring them in there. but right now i'm not sure how they are going to get here or get to where they need to go. eric: the deployment could be there for years. when you are taking a look at the scenes you are seeing now where freeways are turning to ravaged floodways and rivers, the water up to 1 feet under overpasses, it's just overwhelming and astounding. griff jenkins --

reporter: wham your name, sir? thanks for your service. we know what you are doing here. a quick question so the rest of the country hears, jesse. do you need more resources here? do you have what you need? >> that's a good question. do you need for resources out here, sir? you got what you need? reporter: these guys say they have got what they need. but as we have seen traveling across this area there could be more because when these flood come up, if we are out for two more days, more boats couldn't hurt. eric: griff, thank you so much. arthel? arthel: joining us now is someone who knows very well how to imagine these situations.

retired lieutenant general, the former commander of the joint reverse response to hurricane katrina. i want to start first by asking you, we are looking at these images. you have griff jenkins out there talking about the difficulty of getting the necessary equipment and personnel to the people who need it. tell me about those times of strategies and the challenges they are facing in houston. >> every day the challenge gets harder because it continues to rain and flood. i think the -- it's obvious they need more resources. texas has over 10,000 national guard. i think the last couple days on these networks they recommended the mobilize that texas army division, over 10,000 troops. that still hasn't happened. they have 2,000 that aren't

mobilized. if you are going to tell the city of houston to stay in place you need the national guard deployed there with them. i know i'm doing monday morning quarterbacking. it's still not too late. because the flood will be worse tomorrow. there is still time to act with all due respect to those on the front lines. we need more national guard. we need to mobilize the citizen samaritans. all those boats people have, despite what everybody tell you, more people are saved by citizens that self-mobilize and neighbors helping neighbors than all these fancy search and rescue teams. so we need to get people to get their boats, to get them organized in the communities and start rescuing citizens. otherwise, they will not catch up.

houston in particularly needs to evacuate people that are going to flood tomorrow. that needs to be the focus. they need to start thinking and acting two or three days ahead. right now they are reacting as opposed to planning ahead for the evacuations tomorrow. the mayor of houston, the caveat don't go in your ceiling if you don't have a way to cut your way out. that ceiling can be a protective barrier. go and sit out on the roof without any protection, exposes you to more stuff. only go in the ceiling if you have a way to cut your way out. but that ceiling could provide you a lot of protection as many survivors of katrina will tell you. arthel: there are 40 more boats

headed into the city. texas has thousands of dams. two dams in houston are considered extremely high risk. do you get those residents near those dams. do you get them out of the danger zone immediately or do you hope the dam pulls up and you have them shelter in place? >> the strategy in houston from the beginning of the storm has been for people to stay in place. that works for normal hurricane that comes through and within 24 hours it's up in arkansas. it did not work for this storm, and the predictions were this storm was going to stay around two or three days. following that model we need to start evacuating people that we can predict tomorrow is going to be more flooded than it is today. i know it sounds confusing. but that's what we do military and government planners. we try to look two or three days

ahead. the quickest resource you have are citizen volunteers. samaritan brigades, and the texas national guard. you have got over 10,000 national guards troops in texas. texas is a big state. it will take time to get them down there. but nobody can do it better than them. push them into the flooded area and ask the federal and adjacent states to help evacuate places you predict will flood tomorrow. this must be done. we can't wait for people to flood up to their neck then say call 911. it's nobody's fault it's the rain. it will rain more tomorrow and rain the next day. thank god the wind is cooperating and the helicopters are up. but they can't handle the number of people who need to be evacuated. arthel: you saying this is the time when you have the citizens to help each other out.

neighbors helping neighbors. do you have warnings or advice for citizens who do have a boat and can go around the neighborhood and collect a few people? >> work with the local fire department and sheriff's department. collect with them and work as a team. don't be a lone ranger. team up with others, work together, but work with the first responders that are already there. you don't need to start a separate operation. we had that happen last year in what done rouge. where they worked together, there was synergy there. the good samaritans who have boats. they know that community and know where people are. using them is a quick resource. it will be more difficult now because many of them may have their boats sheltered and they can't get to them. but those who can and in the surrounding communities. in louisiana we have the cajun

navy. during katrina they saved 5,000 people. if they can't do it today they need to prepare that samaritan brigade for tomorrow. that's the way to organize it. they have to get in front of this. you have a day three, day four and day five of this storm and each day is going to flood more. arthel: general honore thank you for your advice to the people of houston and the incredible job you did during hurricane katrina as well. >> tell the mayor of houston i'm four hours away, i can be there in two. eric: we have been watching incredible scenes of privilege are you and help and first responders. the american spirit of citizens helping citizens. someone with a boat trying to

help someone save a package and get the neighbor upon neighbor. that's what this is all about as the cities of the gulf coast are under siege and this will last for days. we are waiting for an update from texas governor greg abbott. the federal help, if they will as general honore just proposed, call out more national guard in order to deploy more resources to help those trapped on this sunday. we'll bring you governor abbott's news conference.

hit texas in 50 years. so far killing two people and unfortunately in natural disasters like this, the numbers could possibly rise. torrential rain coming down five inches an hour. residents are being warned not to leave their standed homes because roadways round water. the regime of kim jong-un fired several short-range ballistic missiles yesterday. that was the first test since it launched long-range missiles a month ago. president trump is monitoring the situation we are told while secretary of state rex tillerson appeared for calm when he appeared earlier on "fox news sunday" saying the administration is working with

our allies. >> we'll continue our peaceful pressure campaign to see if we can bring the regime in pyongyang to the negotiating table with a view to begin a dialogue for a different future for the korean peninsula and north korea. eric: can that dialogue begin? you know, ambassador, jim congress unreminds me of my dog. you put a bone down, you tell your dog to sit. and he does for a while. but then he goes and grabs the bone. secretary tillerson said there was restraint from north korea. >> last week secretary tillerson said he thought that restraint was a good sign they could get

to the negotiating table. i think the state department is following the same pattern much like your dog and the bone. that statement you just played from secretary tillerson was an excellent example of barack obama's foreign policy it's a policy the united states has pursued unsuccessfully for 25 years. if we can just talk to the north koreans maybe we can chit-chat them out of their desire to have nuclear weapons. it has failed and brought us to where we are today. there is no evidence whatsoever that north korea's behavior will change. eric: what will change that. president george w. bush took them off the terrorist list. that didn't work. the oil for food trade where they promised not to have nuclear weapons, that didn't work. can china pressure them?

>> china has few peek in capability to pressure china. they failed to exert that pressure because they fear regime collapse. they understand despite the nuclear program the regime is much more fragile than appears on the surface. they fear collapse because of catastrophic consequences for china. there is know point whatever in continued negotiation with north korea. if we are going to have a diplomatic solution and we are returning out of time, it will be by persuading chain eighth's in their national interest to reyou night the two koreas. we are running out of time. we don't have good options. we don't have 25 years to continue to negotiate with a regime that makes lying into an

art form. they are to the point where they will be able to hit any target in the united states with a nuclear war head. look at the full-page graphic in the "new york times" today. it essentially corroborates what i just said. it could be by the end of this year or 2019. but the fact is they are very close to being able to threaten us. their objective is not just to protect against american hostility. the kim regime has never given up the dream of taking over all of south korea, and a nuclear capacity will be used to blackmail us. if you don't like north korea's behavior now wait until they get a nuclear war ahead nuclear capability. eric: china does not want a unified korea in the peninsula there. but that's the challenge we face. because of our pressing news

with storm harvey we have to go. but we'll stay on this. thank you. arthel: we are awaiting news conference with texas governor greg abbott on the devastation from tropical storm harvey as dangerous floodwaters keep rising in and around houston. two feet of rain falling already and much, much more may be on the way. we are live from texas coming up next. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein, and 26 vitamins and minerals... for the strength and energy, to get back to doing what you love. ensure, always be you.

>> the biggest challenge in the main focus is getting people out alive. this is very much an active search and rescue operation. i want you to take a look at the floodwaters back here. this is galveston county. we are not on galveston island any longer. this is the county and it county and a day as close as we can get to houston. 20 miles south of the city, you can see how widespread of an event we are talking about because this is moammar, texas. we have more than a thousand calls for help, for people stranded back in their homes between wal-mart where we are and then a little triangle. i want you to think of the area as a little triangle. riot road in santa fe texas over in that direction is dickinson, texas. between these three communities, a thousand calls for help from people trapped in their homes. not long ago, in a boat was

sitting right here and it went back that way to take a woman to see some of her loved ones were stuck back there. there has been such a great need for help at the local officials here have put out a call to volunteers. all of the people that are gathering here up on the road, these are volunteers who answer the call for help. they are asking for anyone with both anyone with boats. anybody who has a boat, if you can get it to the theory has come any of the areas in need, they could sure use your help because they are literally inundated with calls, 9-1-1 call centers are simply just taking over with so many people stuck in their homes, stuck in their living rooms. the mayors of these communities have said if the water levels rise and you have to go to your addict, do not get in the attic

unless you have an ax to chop through the roof. a lot of stuff is going on right here. again, 20 miles south of houston, very much an active search and rescue operation under way to get people out of here safely, arthel appeared arthel: casey stegall live in la marque, texas. elaine duke appeared about to find out for me right now. by the way, i want to apologize in advance because we are waiting for a press conference and during our interview i may have to interrupt you. thank you. what is your department's most immediate focus on hurricane now tropical storm harvey? >> just like you heard, urban search and rescue. we are looking at saving people right now. in heeding the warnings and directions at the local officials. that is what we recommend us top priority. arthel: how much are you in touch with the state and local

authorities and what are you hearing from them in terms of what they need from the federal government? >> we have received an enhanced declaration of a disaster that we received from governor abbott and that is to expand the federal disaster area we can provide in a bigger area. i was number one in terms of supporting them and the search and rescue through coast guard in urban search and rescue teams. arthel: friday as you know, president trump signee disaster declaration for coastal counties and he is tweeting this morning that i'll be going to texas as soon as the trip can be made without causing disruption. the focus must be on life in safety. are you in contact with the president? >> s., daily with the president and full cabinet and he does want to show his support. he is very sensitive to giving the search and rescue persons time to focus on that and he will be down there as soon as

recommend it to be down there. he is anxious, leaning forward and has all of his leaning forward to support the state. arthel: beg your pardon. where you located now? >> i'm in washington d.c. at the national response than her. representatives from across the government from the red cross and state and local agencies working together for the response. eric: you feel very strongly the government is providing local statewide local communities exactly what they need when they needed as quickly as they need it? >> absolutely i've never seen better coordination in my entire career. arthel: said the president full cabinet is briefed on what is happening in texas. you feel the young administration -- you feel like you are prepared to handle this natural disaster that is harvey? >> absolutely. not only being briefed him about participating in the small business administration, each one has a preassigned role and

everyone is leaning forward under the president and supporting the governor and the state and local officials with their requests in addressing this disaster. arthel: secretary, can you give me a beat by beat your a lot of people are running behind you. give us an idea of what they are doing. >> they are doing everything from situational awareness. we have the red cross here keeping up to date on what it means they have locally. we have logistics coordinating the movement of goods to the area and meals ready to eat. the coast guard coordinating some of the air and land rescue in the area. we have national guard representatives from the department of defense. all across government, each person is doing their own thing, also coordinating the fema workforce beyond dhs. each one is working. this is a 24/7 operation, not

just for the next few days, but likely weeks and months. arthel: said you have meals ready to eat for the people in texas. are there any challenges as you know in terms of getting to those people who are stranded? >> i think that's going to be a challenge as the storm has not peaked yet. we are seeing some diminishing rainfall, but we can't let that put us in a position to be content. we do expect the rivers to rise. we have water coming meals ready to be and they will be moved as for directed by the state and local government, but it is going to be challenging to reach people quickly. patients in heeding the warnings of local officials are the two things i would stress. arthel: acting homeland security director elaine duke, thank you and good luck to you when we hope that you are getting everything you need to help the folks in texas. >> appreciate your support. eric: they are on and they are

prepared dealing with what they are dealing with right now in houston another area in corpus christi. the flooding in the city of the city of its nation houston as you have seen has been historic and sadly making things worse, some people taking advantage of those in need at the worst possible time. texas attorney general ken paxton will be here next to talk about what his office is doing to stop that is in some cases they say human greed taking advantage of victims at the worst time. stay with us. we will be right back.

the reports in issuing warning to take action to the man in charge joins us now, the attorney general, ken paxton at attorney general, thank you for joining us from austin. what's going on right now? are you confident on the coordination and preparation with the federal government and the reports officials are asking for volunteers and the sort of thing to help rescue people who were stranded. do you have faith in the government efforts right now? >> you know what, this is the biggest one we've ever had. not just a one-day deal. this is day-to-day. i've never seen better coordination between state and local and federal government officials in my life. especially given the fact this is out of the ordinary for any of us and nothing i've ever experienced before. eric: what type of actions in the state government take? we'll hear from governor abbott at a news conference right now. are you trying to deployment of

resources to help these people? >> akamai national guard will see more search and rescue. it's a growing problem that will not go away in a day. even with the river flooding, it will last beyond a few days. i know they are bringing in more resources as we speak and you hear that from the governor. you just had elaine duke on. it's as good issues ever seen. i'm confident given way or in epic proportions i'm confident we are doing everything we can to help people in serious need of help. eric: the dimensions of this is absolutely astounding and pretty overwhelming. meanwhile, you've got people price gouging. it's unbelievable, trying to take advantage of the situation. >> is unbelievable given people are in dire need of resources and not why we are issuing investigative demands. i've got one for us and people tracking his progress of yesterday we had 325 complaints. it slowed down a little bit because we are letting people know that a lot of people are

can't get out. we want people to be aware that penalties are stiff. 20,000 per occurrence or if you doubt somebody over 65, the cost could be up to 250,000. you may make profit. eric: finally come your message to people taking advantage. they think they've got an angle. >> people don't know the law and they realize the consequences hopefully that slows down this type of behavior and people realize they won't get away with it. >> attorney general, right now the state is trying to coordinate all the rescue efforts in dealing with this really overwhelming situation that certainly haven't seen in that area to the extent of flooding to shut down america's fourth-largest city. thank you for joining us we will stay on this. >> keep this in your prayers.

eric: we are doing not for americans of course. arthel: purse for houston in all texas indeed. the situation getting worse by the minute, in a few moments, we are expect to get an update from texas governor greg abbott appeared as soon as that starts tomorrow will bring that to you live. stay with us. we are back after a very short break. afi sure had a lot on my mind. my 30-year marriage... ...my 3-month old business... plus...what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding

than the standard treatment. eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.

arthel: the storm not only causing widespread flooding, but tornadoes as well. just outside of texas come and see what is the main focus in biggest challenge in rockport right now. >> the biggest challenge is trying alike took power backup. many power lines as you can see around me. destruction were houses, vehicles trees all mashed together. something you see over and over again from corpus christi to rot for it. thousands of people were told they have to evacuate, mandatory evacuation because so many heated it's why the casualty figures are so low. as far as search and rescue goes, it's been very primitive so far. firefighters still wants. no communications here, no cell phone service.

very tough going through the rain has let up, the wind has flooded. for the first time a convoy of military vehicles on the way in. before the people here, many have lost everything they have, their homes and businesses. people started to come back to pick through the wreckage in some cases. officials have told them to stay away for now because they have no infrastructure. we see people try to pull belongings from the wreckage here and it will take a long time to cleanup what this category four hurricane did along the texas coast. back to you. arthel: a lot to cleanup in the emotional impact will last a long time. eric: so much massive flooding in the area come especially in houston. two more feet still expected to fall over the next few days. that of course make in the matters even worse. rescues our on going by boat in by helicopters.
