rescued. officials saying the worst is yet to come. this morning, beaumont is an island surrounded by that giant mote of brown water. the only way in by boat or by air. all right. we're about to take off so we joined a navy search and rescue flight, many hundreds begging for rescues choppers buzzed the beaumont sky. the baptist hospital completely evacuated. some 200 patients, many of them airlifted. rescuers here lift an entire hospital bed onto an airboat and everywhere the water is still rising. with the help of this website, the crew chief and pilot try to pinpoint rescues. our black hawk bouncing down at the pine forest elementary school. this is a tremendous amount of activity here. helicopters landing. two of them. the school was a shelter. now it too has to be evacuated. hands clamped over their faces, the faces couldn't contain the

officials telling me it could be another week before it gets turned back on and folks aren't worried about what they'll bathe in. they're worried about what they'll drink. there are distribution centers being set up to hand over just a few bottles of water and all of this means that the lone operating hospital in this town will also likely have to be evacuated. dan. in a huge problem. harrowing scenes there. matt, thank you. now to the victims of harvey in texas still stranded by those overflowing rivers. abc's gio benitez is in orange county, texas, with the latest. gio, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, good morning to you. this is where the highway turns into a river. beyond this small towns are being flooded out like people here have never seen before. it it could get worse and that's why mandatory evacuations are in effect right now. this morning, an urgent crisis unfolding now in small southeast texas towns as rivers and bayous reach their breaking points. here houses and cars are already

underwater and there's a desperate effort to get people out before the area floods any more. we've got three rescue boats here. we joined volunteer rescuers working with the local sheriff to find people. look at that. all those children. and you can just see many of these homes have water nearly up to the roof. so flooded you can only get here by boat. we are on what was a highway and now looks more like a river. look at that. that right there, that's a car, the trunk is open. this is vied dhoordor. even the livestock are stuck here. they've got no place to go. the rescuers coming from all over getting in the water going door to door looking for stranded survivors. jeff housley lives 3 1/2 hours away. i mean, you guys are just everyday people out here volunteering. >> yes, sir. i work at a plant, i mean, i don't do this for a living. i don't have any training or nothing. >> reporter: in orangeville, texas, one of our boats spo

he and his wife had been stuck here for three days. they get on the boats and to safety with some of their belongings and their pet bird. >> thank you. >> we thought it would never happen to us. we're probably like millions of other people that it's happened to. oh, it'll never happen to me. it did. >> reporter: tough images to see when you consider that about 80% of texans don't have flood insurance. and remember right now we are between two overflowing rivers so the new concern this morning, what happens when one of those rivers reaches those record levels today? well, officials say they have no idea. that's why they want residents out now. >> as the water begins to recede in houston we are getting a better picture of the scope of the disaster there. some 100,000 homes suffering damage. about 170,000 are still without power. schools in houston, though, will now start on september 11th. about two weeks

houston this morning for us. good morning, tom. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. the houston mayor says the city is mostly dry and open for business. but not for everyone. you can see that just behind me. the boats are still out in this area and the search is still on. 19 still missing in the houston area. in houston, first responders going door to door. watch here as they fight a fire in chest deep waters to rescue a family from a burning home. >> fire hydrant. >> reporter: going underwater to connect the hose. using a boat engine to propel water onto the flames. one firefighter in this mission injured. right now we're in the pine point section of houston and all the water is still on the ground here but take a look at this. even though houston has turned a corner, there are so many neighborhoods still flooded out. but the rescue effort is so difficult because the area is so widespread.

outside teacher michele hayes' home, her students are helping her not only clean up, but gut the part of her home flooded by harvey. >> didn't even have to call. they just showed up. unreal. i feel like this isn't even my house. it's something i never thought would happen. >> reporter: this is her video and that's her home when the water started to rise. this photo shows what she saw when she opened her son's room who was sleeping in his toddler bed less than three feet off the floor. >> seeing the water at my son's mattress, and having to tell my children to put on bathing suits and life jackets because we need to leave our home is something i see every time i look in there. >> reporter: as for the tens of thousands in shelters like iashia nelson who we met earlier, there is no end in sight. >> we don't know what's next for us. we don't know how long we'll be able to stay in this shelter. i want to leave the shelter but there's nowhere for us to go.

>> reporter: we also want to mention that chemical plant in the houston area that had fires and explosion, a 1.5-mile perimeter remains in effect. they have tested the smoke and as of right now no cause for concern. >> thank you. that teacher talking about the water reaching her toddler's mattress is truly scary. thank you. now to the latest on the white house response to the catastrophe, president trump personally planing a million dollars of his own money for disaster relief. and he will be returning to the storm zone this weekend. vice president pence was there on thursday meeting with flood victims and surveying the damage. our chief white house correspondent jon karl was right there. >> reporter: we joined the vice president on a v-22 osprey as he flew above the area hurricane harvey first came ashore. from above you get a sense of how much damage is out there, damage as far as the eye can see. on the ground in a neighborhood mangled by harvey's winds, we saw pence

and get to work. meeting face-to-face with victims, even helping clear the brush from a damaged home. is it as wore as you thought it would be. >> i think the scope is truly breathtaking. >> reporter: contrast to the president's trip earlier this week, pence made a point to see the devastation himself. >> we are with you. >> reporter: does it do something for them to be able to see firsthand? >> absolutely. you can describe it to people but unless you're here, you don't really know. >> reporter: pence promises that texas will get everything it needs from the federal government. but what about that threat the president made before the storm that he'd force a government shutdown if congress doesn't fund his border wall. any shutdown now would almost certainly hurt recovery efforts. now, this is obviously not the time to have a government shutdown, is it? i mean, is the president going to withdraw that threat? >> well, look, the administration has its

but i will tell you president trump has made it clear our top priority right now is dealing with hurricane harvey and it's aftermath. >> reporter: president trump will get another update on recovery efforts later today. in an oval office meeting with relief organizations and he and the first lady will be back here in texas tomorrow, the vice president told me that they will be out with families in the houston area. robin. >> all right, jon, thank you. now to texas governor greg abbott. he joins us from austin, texas. you know that the thoughts and prayers of the nation are with you and everyone there in the state of texas. we've been talking with the mayor in houston and he says that that city, the mayor says the city is mostly dry. but there's great concern that now that the floodwater is receding that it's going to reveal the extent of the damage. are you getting a better gauge of that extent of damage? >> we are and first of all we do appreciate the thoughts and prayers of people across the country and, in fact,

seen galvanized because of this horrific flooding and hurricane has really transformed the state and our nation as the waters recede in houston, of course, they're still riding in beaumont so we are having to first of all deal with the aftermath of the receding waters in houston while also deal with the emergency of rescuing people in the beaumont, texas, area. but this is going to be a massive, massive cleanup process. it's going to be far larger in scope than katrina was because the geographic area covered was far larger and people need to understand this is not going to be a short-term project. this is going to be a multi--year project for texas to be able to dig out of this catastrophe. >> and there are many, governor, that are now in shelters, some 30,000 and counting that are in shelters and having to do move around and they want to get back to their homes and when they get back they may be unsalvageable but also knowing that about

in the hardest hit areas do not have flood insurance, so what do you say to those families who are trying to get back home, they know their hopes may not be there and they don't have the flood insurance, what can they expect? how can they be helped? >> sure, they can expect help from fema. fema has been very aggressive in making sure we'll have a close collaboration and swift activation to make sure we will be able to get these people from the evacuation facilities to temporary facilities to permanent facilities. and so this has been the most impressive response to a catastrophe we've seen, people can expect us to continue that very swift effort. >> and we are seeing that some of the schools are saying they're going to be re-opening in a couple of weeks, just a couple of weeks behind schedule and having grown up in the mississippi gulf coast, i remember i was like 8 years old after hurricane camille and it's so important to get the schools back open. people are just craving normalcy and i know that it's a real balancing act and what you're trying to do,

>> well, it is. and getting back to school is one of the most important things and once people start returning to school, people will feel that sense of normalcy. we've received waivers from the u.s. department of education and the state of texas has triggered those to make sure that process will be more seamless and more easily achieved but returning to school, returning to work, returning to normalcy, you will begin to see that pick up but during that process, we will be working swiftly to try to normalize the situation, not just in houston, not just in beaumont, but where the hurricane originally hit, back near the corpus christi area. >> yes, it's such an extensive storm as you said. there's so many people coming to your aid and there's somebody with texas ties, you're going to be back with us later in our:00 hour and a major contribution because as you said, this is years in the making and the recovery effort and so many people are helping and we'll see you a little bit later this morning, governor, but thank you. >> tnk

of course. >> dan. >> you know as a gulf resident that normalcy takes a while. >> it certainly does. let's talk about the economic impacts of this storm for all of us. oil refineries shut down in the wake of harvey sending gas prices soaring across america. just as millions of us hit the road for labor day weekend and rebecca jarvis joins us with more on the ripple effects for drivers. so talk a little about what's driving this. >> so, dan, this storm hit the heart of energy country. 20% of our nation's refineries are now shut down which is why you're starting to see those shortages of gasoline, the lines that we've seen, the very long lines in dallas and that's why the department of energy has taken the extraordinary step of releasing some oil from our nation's strategic petroleum reserve which they only do in emergency situations. >> what will we see drivers out on the road this holiday weekend in terms of prices? >> already this morning americans are paying the highest

year. the national average this morning, $2.52. it has spiked 18 cents since pre-harvey and we're expecting to see another 20 to 30-cent jump in the coming weeks. good news for drivers, this should be short lived. by mid-september we should be back to usual. >> very few escaping the effects of harvey. rebecca jarvis, thank you. robin, over to you. >> talking about harvey and there's another one that is brewing. let's go over to ginger with that major hurricane brewing in the t.j. >> yes, all eyes on the atlantic. category 3 hurricane irma and it is moving, of course, westward but it looks like it's so far away, i don't want anyone to lose their minds quite yet. by early wednesday east of puerto rico. we'll be tracking it. weekend getaways now.

that we can to help all those people that are suffering from these storms and, you know, what we want to do is basically work in parallel with governor abbott and everything that the state of texas is doing to try to help and we want to basically bring the power of private contributions to the recovery efforts that are happening and today our foundation, the michael and susan dell foundation is launching the rebuild texas fund and we are going to basically commit $36 million to really launch an effort to raise over $100 million to rebuild texas and we rild the communities that have been affected by hurricane harvey. and we are going to donate half of that

immediately so that we can launch this fund and we want to work with, you know, everyone out there in texas to try to raise as much money as possible over the next four days, so it's going to take everyone to help get through this and what we want to do is hopefully over this holiday weekend what we want to do is inspire everybody to give as much as they can so with that in mind, michael and i want to encourage everybody to give as much they can so for every $2 that everyone gives over this holiday weekend, we're going to match it with an additional dollar of our own. >> with an -- whatever the $2 that you will match it yourself? with another dollar. >> with another. >> dwlar for dollar. >> $18 million goes in today then for every $2 that everyone gives we will match it with an additional dollar of our own. >> the goal is 100 million. i feel

governor abbott, when you're hearing this and talking about how it will take such a long time to rebuild that great state, but when you have michael and susan saying this and the joint effort with what you're doing there, governor. >> well, these are such great texans and a storm that's been as large as texas requires a response as big as texas. and i think michael and susan dell and their foundation, you know, they've been innovation and technology leaders in the world and they've also now been leaders in the foundation area and we need their support as well as the support of people across the world. i've had so many people call me and reach out to my office say, what can we do to help texas? and it's exactly this type of program that the dell and the dell foundation is working on that combines with a foundation run by the governor of the state of texas called the one star foundation. and through that foundation we will have thi

program and it is rebuildtk.org and it is launching as we speak rebuildtx.org and we will put the resources together to begin and complete the process of restoring texas to make it even better than before the storm happened. >> kind of teamwork we can all appreciate and you guys do things big there in texas, you're proving that once again. governor, thank you so much. michael, susan, bless your hears and i love the challenge you have also had for this weekend. continue blessings to you both and you are a blessing. let's go over to ginger. >> thank you. >> thank you. we have to start with flash flooding happening birmingham, alabama, you can see water rushing down the street and in nashville they're showcases what flash in flash flooding, four hours after that car was underwater already draining out but it is moving north and it's going to be north and east bringing rain even through the weekend, the holiday weekend in the northeast but again up to 6 inches in parts of kentucky is what you can expect f

would get a college scholarship to play baseball. >> reporter: but only 1% of high school graduates receive an athletic scholarship and recent studies show athletes who specialize in one sport are prone to injuries. remember ryan. this summer an injury has hindered his ability to throw the ball but he can still hit. >> he's torn the major stabilizing ligament in the elbow. >> reporter: for elite athletes the pressure to perform can be overwhelming but for ryan, despite his injury, he's undeterred and unstoppable. >> that a boy. >> i love baseball so much and i really wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. >> guy, it's not so much that kids are playing sports at a young age it's that they're asked to be specialized in one sport. we're talking five, six, 7 years old and picking one sport when they should be climbing trees, playing tag, having fun, not thinking about the pros. >> there are so

there are so many benefits especially involved in team sports and i know not everybody is going to be a two-time olympian like you and kudos for you for that, jessica, but are we kind of losing sight of the purpose of team sports when it comes to kids? >> robin, if i had to pick one sport when i was their age i would pick the wrong sport. i would have picked basketball. for me i was the tallest kid when i was young and it's not even just the injuries and financial strain, it's that emotional psychological if you're going all in at a young age, the burnout comes so quick and for me i played all sports. i know you did too and my biggest thing is play as many sports and be that athletic kid instead of focusing in on one. >> bowling champ when i was 12 years old, bowling champ at 12 years old. thanks so much. jason derulo debuts his brand-new single live in central park.
