the home. the feds don't say what, if any work the organization did on behalf of student, but they did say miller continued to commit fraud in 2013, serving as campaign treasurer for virginia senate minority leader dick saslaw of fairfax. they say she wrote 73 fraudulent checks from the campaign without the senator's knowledge to bank accounts she controlled including to a shell company, the feds say called the traily company. the i-team had been investigating miller's campaign filings and saw the campaign books listing those expenses. no company from senator saslaw or the defense attorney. she's expected to appear in court and that's federal court in alexandria, virginia. >> she's in trouble. >> facing a felony. it started with a tip to the i-team, we invite you to visit our nbc washington app and click on investigations. >> now to the historic flooding in the carolinas. the rain is starting to let up down there, but the death toll

bridges and dams and swallowed communities from the coasts to the midlands. >> we are continuing rescue and evacuation operations throughout the state. in the columbia area alone from the weekend through today there have been more than 150 swift water rescues and first responders expect that number to climb. the national guard has moved in to help with the ongoing effort in the flood zone, focusing their attention in the columbia area where the water has had an effect on just about everyone and everything. >> our infrastructure is compromised. one of the most severe issues, water. not the flood levels that continue to climb, but the public water system that's been compromised, leaving thousands without usable water. the situation so dire, fire teams continue to pump tens of thousands of gallons of water into area hospitals. >> we will continue to provide the water to the hospitals as long as we can sustain it and we just don't know how long we can sustain that. >> reporter: fire fighters and

water system like most everyone here pushed to their limits, but the struggle for many is still far from over. >> when it finally does stop raining and the floods recede then we have to deal with the incredib incredible amounts of property damage that i'm sure will total into the billions. we have a lot of work to do, but we're doing it together. >> the same way that so many to this point have survived this historic storm. and back live now, you can see this roadway ripped apart by floodwaters after a dam gave way. the scenes like this are playing out across the carol kales right now and in communities like this. what we've seen a lot is neighbors helping neighbors, doreen. that effort will be put on hold as we resume dusk to dawn curfew for the second night in a row here. >> hard to do anything after the sun goes down. jay, you're our man on the scene on all natural disasters. how does this compare to the others. >> reporter: it is overwhelming

because it is so widespread here. we are talking about almost the entire state that is dealing with the flooding here and we're talking about thousands of families that have been pushed from their homes and many of them only with the clothes on their backs and losing everything they have to leave behind. it is overwhelming and one of the worst i've seen. >> jay gray reporting from columbia, south carolina, thank you. >> a search and rescue team is in south carolina trying to help with flood rescues and virginia task force one arrived in manning today and that's between charleston and columbia. >> that team consists of 85 people and four dogs and they took 59,000 pounds of equipment with them. coming up at 6:30, a closer look at the critical role this team will play in the recovery. >> crews are scouring the atlantic ocean near the bahamas and they're trying to find any survivors from a missing cargo ship. the coast guard believes that the ship called the el faro sank after it was caught in hurricane joaquin last week. 33 people, most of them
