river where that's been the case. for the most part, they're complying with what they're asking. take a look at this levee back here. this homeowner had the resources and the capacity to build a really substantial levee around his home to try to protect it. i can tell you in this community, it's the only thing like this i've seen go right next door, and they didn't build anything. they expect the water to get so high here, there's not really any point in sandbagging. they're getting their stuff, getting their family, and they'll come back out in 7 or 8 weeks and see what's left of their community. >> really unbelievable. thanks for reporting live for us from louisiana this morning. the head of the international monitor fund is being questioned for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman. a maid in a new york hotel says he attacked her. he has been seen as a possible
