but i live not too far from buffalo bayou, which is one of the by use going through town -- bayous goinghrough town. houston has no zoning. our neighborhood actually has some industry's mattered amongst it. i was taking a walk along the byaou and encountered a spill coming out of one of the facilities into the buffalo bayou. i am noticing there have been several of these small events happening locally, too, as well as these big events like the arkema chemical fire. a good point.p the analysis we did for chemical breakdown showed there is -- essentially, we made an index that ranks facilities on a potential for harm. .e had 55 that were the highest i'm doing a shortcut version of this. my quick and dirty analysis showed 13 of those 55 are in the 100 year floodplain. we are way past that with this flood. the 500 year floodplain. one of the things i want to do as a reporter going f forward is find out just how many of these facilities that have highly potentially dangerous chemicals got impacted by this flight and we just haven't heard about it. there is more than 2500 chemical facilities i

the bayou has crested, so we've got most of the people out of there. the east side on the river there, that is a very sparsely populated area, so it's not as bad there. yesterday we did close our shelter, one of our shelters, several people chose to go back ho home. some went to stay with family and friends, things of that nature. others being moved out as we speak. >> captain, as you and i speak, we're watching video of very dramatic rescues from yesterday. it's just incredible. this captures what emergency responders are up against. there's a man trapped in the raging floodwaters. he would surely have been washed away. an emergency responder is able to attach a harness to him and take him up to the chopper above. there's a heavily wooded area, having to go through the branches, in fact, they take one up with them as they go. what are the biggest challenges facing your fire department right now? >> from the fire department standpoint, the first thing i heard yesterday morning when we lost our water supply is what are we going to do when we have a fire

next to an overflowing bayou, between two major rivers also overflowing. army rescue trucks racing in as floodwaters swallow these neighborhoods. that right there, that's a car. the trunk is open. they are grabbing their belongings right now. we are there as volunteers working with the local sheriff rescue stranded residents, even pets, livestock still in their pastures now covered by water. that is a boat full of people look at that. all those children. >> i'm going to check this one.. 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. >> reporter: our boats spot mike bedair out the window. he gets on with his wife brenda, suitcases, and their pet bird, taken to dry land. >> we thought it would never happen to us. we're probably like millions of other people that's happened to -- "oh, it'll never happen to me." it did. >> reporter: and tom, you can see the rescues under way right now. this county just got an evacuation order. we're about to leave because the rivers and bayo

. >> host: this is your third book with the word bayous? >> guest: yes, it is.? again, when i say my friends on the left, i am sincere about it. i have many friends who are marxist. i was once a marxist and i love them, but there swear word is bourgeois. you are so bourgeois. your transposition means you can't possibly have an opinion. and so i purposely and kind of sticking them in the eye, my first book was called bourgeois virtues. sounds like a contradiction in terms. second one was called bourgeois dignity. how can that be? "bourgeois equality", that can't be right. how can you have bourgeois equality? i think all three opinions are wrong. you can the ethical. you could be encouraging human dignity, and you can -- income inequality through what we unfortunately call capitalism. >> host: a couple of years back french economist hit the book world. what did you think of his -- >> guest: i didn't pay much attention to it. i was asked to do a review and i ended up doing a 50 page review. i know that britain especially as the anti--- the bbc tried organize a date

[applause] sen. strange: he is a great conservative leader. president of the senate, a guy i've gotten to know, a great conservative christian person. got into the rally last night and we got a chance to talk about what is really important. he said, luther, i'm glad, but there are so many big things in the world than one political campaign. keep your eye on the ball. you and melissa are a wonderful couple. you know, for a person to come when all the things happening in the world and to say that about you, that is the kind of person you want in the foxhole. mike pence. america is lucky to have mike pence. i want to thank richard shelby and i took its place in he senate. the tallest guy in the senate. i said a record as the tallest guy in the senate. [laughter] sen. strange: richard was a friend for 30 years for it he took me under his arm when i came to washington and has been a great mentor and has supported me. it is always nice to have a guy and ask them, have you ever seen anything like this? he s

communities near the bayou are still flooded. much of houston may be drying out but some neighborhoods in west houston are a different story. >> the police came and knocked on the door and said you have 10 minutes to get out. >> many are angry after a mandatory evacuation of some homes could remain flooded for weeks. >> we had no warning. >> better news at the arkema chemical plant outside of houston following some controlled burns to destroy unstable compounds, several fires had broken out when floodwaters knocked out the cooling system. this is one of many things the houston area has to worry about. >> it is so far from over.>> including this damaged gas station that saw a fuel tank burst from the ground, in baytown a city with 75,000 people had 4600 homes flooded but described -- despite devastation some remain optimistic. >> i have my family and i have my friends so i think we will be all right. >> congress returns to work this week considering the request for $7.9 billion in relief for the region. really just a down payment

much of the water that went through houston is now moving downstream to rivers and bayous and areas south of houston and people are still, their lives are still being disrupted and unfortunately more and more bodies are being found as the water has receded in places that have been flooded. eight days ago harvey's wrath was still being felt but we are still counting the cost.he as one lady in houston told my off staff, she said normal is a long way off. it's more than just days we are counting. families return to their home and peace their lives back together, the numbers keep rolling in.t the numbers are how we keep track and i want to mention a number of numbers that i think will help all of us understand the magnitude of what has occurred. the numbers will help usst wrapper had around what this disaster has meant for not only texas but for the country. the largest numbers of the toughest. not the toughest to swallow, i will get to those in the moment, but simply to comprehend. they are the ones that make your jaw drop like 27 trillion gallons of rain that was pummeled on texas and louis

the buffalo bayou where that water drains will stay flooded several weeks. state and federal environmental officials are warning people to take precautions because contaminated sewer water tends to be released during major flood events. any say people in the flood zone must ensure they have access to safe drinking water. >> and the city of beaumont, texas, still without running water. and it's going to take some time to get the taps running again. residents today in long lines trying to buy water. the failure of the water treatment system is causing other problems on the ground. we'll have more on that a little later. but overall first responders have rescued more than 72,000 people since the storm hit. now that does not include all the rescues by civilian volunteers. >>> harvey dumped an estimated 27 trillion -- trillion gallons of rain on texas and louisiana over a 6-day period. that's enough to fill the san francisco bay more than ten times over. that, folks, would power nyaarige ray falls for a year. for the latest from the disaster zone let's bring in c

where i am right now is the neighbor hood -- neighborhood next to the bayou where they need to release water. this neighborhood is almost completely underwater. we have seen crews and volunteers try to get the people out and saying -- trying to get home thing look at the damage.>> this is the office.>> a door to door search underway. search and rescue are working to locate and help people stranded in homes for days.>> the state line and officials are not sure when they will be able to provide residents with clean drinking water because the water is rising and covering pumps. one hospital has had to evacuate patients.>> we had 193 patients last night and we got a call at 1 am telling us they lost city water.>> explosions at the chemical plant added another worry for residents. the area closed and smoke trickled from the business. the deputies were taken to the hospital after inhaling smoke at the plant. all have been released. mike pence traveled and surveyed the damaged area.>> we are with you and we will stay with you until all of south east texas come back.>> about an hour ago we saw

we will go over here to the warner bayou east, because this water here, the bayou, wolf, this is what they were after raid would be the problem, because they had heard about the storm surge from irma that would come to threaten them, and they were all prepared for the flood i ing, but it is the winds of course that got this particular area. bradenton, andly tell you that we are going to be trying to go to one of the islands closed up until recently, and one of the bridges that is right there across the bay there to survey the damage there, and perhaps we will be aable to get more information on what they are experiencing on that island pretty soon. wolf. >> all right. dianne gallagher driving around, and thank you. we are getting new video of the flooding in orlando, florida. wow, you can see the damage done in orlando, florida, and apparently, this is only just the beginning, and looking at the video of this courtesy of wkmg and you can see the streets underwater there, and not just orlando, but other parts of the state and especially jacksonville, florida, right now. we will stay on

we've been seeing a lot of this up next to the bayou. the winds coming through knocking trees down and they're under a mandatory curfew until 3:00 p.m. they had a shellter that lost power and they were able to get it back up on a generator and the kids were in the middle of watching "a bug's life" trying to keep them entertained. we'll throw it back to you. not trying to get in this fire engine's way and find a safe way out of manatee county as we continue to look at the damage. >> you know, diane gallagher, thanks so much. i'm sure those rescue and recovery crews appreciate that and appreciate all the work you're doing because so much of today is learning where things stand, again, curious people out here just asking the question, how bad was it and when will things get back to normal? here in miami, miami is waking up on the move today. it shouldn't take too long for a lot of people to get their lives back in order. i'm not sure that will be the case in each and every place in florida. i want to go over to naples right now. chris cuomo

bayous in texas the way the drainage, if i can use that phrase, in houston works, houston is just a few miles from the gulf coast, some areas are right at sea level. we have a system of bayous and creeks that all move through the houston area down to the gulf of mexico. so if the watt's in houston, it's got to -- if the water's in houston, it has to go southeast to the gulf of mexico. of course when the rains came and the floods came up, there was no place for the water to go because there was so much water. after hurricane harvey hammered houston, it worked its way back out in the gulf of mexico just a little bit, to gain some strength, gain more power, and then came back ashore further on down the coast in jefferson and liberty county, beaumont-port arthur, you probably never heard of those towns but it went into that area, parts of louisiana and worked its way up through tennessee. and it's gone away. tennessee. nd it's gone away. jefferson county is home to the largest collection of refineries in the united states. about 22% of the nation's refineries are along the channel. port art

we are in denver harbor right now, just north of buffalo bayou. amy: we are going to continue here from this terrible story of four heroes who were killed as they were trying to save people, for you to take us on this toxic tour of houston. >> yeah, i mean, this isn't normally a stop. veryis emblematic of very, strong part of these neighborhoods. we are just driving on 610. this is the on ramp. we are going north right now. what you're looking at is manchester. this is the beginning of the petro metro. this goes on for 30 plus miles all the way to galveston bay. it even wraps around galveston to to texas city and then baytown and onwards to port arthur, beaumont. amy: can you talk about what has happened to this industry in the midst of harvey? >> yeah, so a lot of these plans had to go into emergency shutdown prior to the storm coming. that is a precautionary move, but it is one that they know is going to happen, particularly if a hurricane is coming. over the years, they have done nothing to prevent the toxic release of the chemicals that are se

and the buffalo bayou is raging and flooding many homes. water and electricity is flowing through there and bacteria and toxic and police are warping people to stay out of it. >> she's so close to that. does she have flood insurance? 80 percent of the people can not have flood insurance. does she? dew know, matt? >> reporter: i don't know heather. we'll have to find out. >> heather: and hearing about the pickers on top of looters. >> leland: back to the lord, i need a push. there is a prayer that god wouldn't give me any more than i can handle. our thought and prayers are with melinda and her family. speaking of harvey. servicemen and women serving on the home front, heros in the wake of tropical storm harvey and how their efforts are making a difference not only in the rescues, but a week plus after the storm. >> heather: well, the u.s. military playing an active role in rescuing people stranlded in tropical storm harvey's flood waters. the u.s. air force assigned 2000 air men in southeastern texas patrolling the area for anyone needing he

they have to release water into the buffalo bayou on the west side of the bayou in order to make surethere are more catastrophic problems for the city of houston. because of that, this neighborhood and other ones are going to experience more flooding than now. even down this way, the current and a lot of these neighborhoods are so strong it makes it even more dangerous to be in this area. yesterday, we were in an area where water went all the way up to the bottom of stop signs. families, elderly couples were still being rescued. some had stayed there because they didn't want to leave their house. today in this area, most people seem to be taking the advice of mayor and city officials and leaving, even though the evacuation is only voluntary. it took us well over 45 minutes to get here when it probably should've taken us 15 because you have so many people trying to leave this area. again, this is aimed -- a voluntary evacuation area. he could change it to be a mandatory evacuation, but people in this area who don't have flooding in their homes are okay to stay. that's another concern f

and then we had some kind of big white jeep that was all jacked up that drove us over the bayou bridge kind of land locked. we got so far and were stuck. and got the family out and people were just flagging us down left and right. we were just yelling, we'll be back for you. we'll be here all day. >> do you remember lindsay and nash? >> yes. i sure do. >> because a lot of rescuers don't have a chance to talk to the people they are rescuing, but you were talking to them in the boat. >> yeah. most of the people, when they got in the boat, they were very scared or almost in shock and i would say where are you from? trying to get them to talk and talk to the kids and how are you doing other than being in a major flood. are you doing okay? most people would start talking and ask me where i'm from and i'm from the fellowship which is just about a quarter of a mile from the flooded area. it is my home church. so just trying to talk to them. >> so nash, i understand you wanted to meet shannon and wanted to see him again and you were trying to track him down. is there anything you want to say t

continues, and much of the water that's moved through houston is now moving downstream to rivers and bayous and areas south of houston, and people are still being, their lives are still being disrupted. and unfortunately, more and more bodies are being found as the water has receded in places that have been flooded. so eight days ago harvey's wrath was still being felt, but of course we're still counting the cost. and as one lady in houston told my staff, she said normal is a long way off. it's more than just days we're counting, though, as families return to their homes and piece their lives back together, the numbers keep rolling in. the numbers are how we keep track, and i want to mention a number of numbers that i think will help all of us understand the magnitude of what has occurred. the numbers will help us wrap our heads around what this disaster has meant for not only texas, but for the country. the largest numbers are the toughest. not the toughest to swallow. i'll get to those in a moment. but simply to comprehend. they are the ones that make your jaw drop, like 27 trillion. that

water from the reservoirs for the next 15 days, they say they will be releasing the water into buffalo bayou, so there isn't a big problem for this city, causing more flooding, people who are in homes with flooding, need to get out now. if they don't they could be stuck here ten to 15 days. >> my whole neighborhood flooded out. >> one week after harvey first hit texas mini houston area neighborhoods are still under water. and from houston easton to louisiana rescue crews are continuing to search homes. in beaumont, there is no clean public drinking water. flood waters knocked out the water treatment plant for the second day in a row. baptist hospital in been moving patients to other hospitals. >> we survived the storm including 45 inches of rain, we thought it was business as usual. yesterday morning, we received call i was the 1:00 a.m. that said the city lost their water source. >> reporter: challenges here include gas shortages, clearing mud from roadways and dealing with mountains of potentially toxic trash. president trump who plan to the accident visit this weekend has declared sunday

highs that i want to own, first of all, i would go to asia tech and go to alibaba and ten cent and bayou because these are much better valuations than in the u.s. tech names >> rather the stab as opposed to fang >> i just want to talk about thinlgs, 52-week highs maybe i'm break iing the rules. i look at u.s. steel that to me is at 52-week highs and that's a chart i want to buy. that's a chart i bought well through the 200 day. seeing iron ore prices go higher you're seeing steel tariffs, antidumping. a lot of reasons why steel companies like u.s. steel in an environment where we haven't gotten the infrastructure. sotrades that have worked for long time and may not be at all time highs may be why you want to buy them. emerging markets at five-year highs, break it out. >> maybe, but the thing is about the valuation argument, which i understand, but we have yields, so while valuations are high, yields are at 201, 212 today, so long as we stay low on this, then stocks continue to look attractive i've been saying all year, you start to get yields rising closer to that 3% level. stocks are go

single storm in the mainland united states with a record—smashing 132cm of rain recorded at cedar bayoun, an unprecedented amount of rain. are there any links with these floods around the world? well, they all involved storms fed by rich tropical moist air. this air, in all cases, had come over oceans that were unusually warm, with temperatures in the indian ocean, the east china sea, the eastern tropical atlantic and the gulf of mexico all warmer than normal. convergent winds locked the storms over the same location and concentrated the extreme rain over just that area. then, of course, there's climate change. this graph of rain in the united states using american national weather service data shows that extreme rainfall has become more common since the 1960s. the international panel on climate change expects such events to become a little more common in a warmer world. it's well known that warmer air holds more water, so as the planet warms up, these rare but extreme rainfall events have the potential to give even more rain than they would have done in previous decades. clive. the un

flooding the buffalo bayou and then flooding houston. this is the kind of stuff, congressman, we need to look, as we look at the supplemental and other projects, this is the prevention that i think we could be doing in the congress that makes a lot of sense. to provide infrastructure at key points to stop this flooding from ever happening again. i know as texans we're all going to come together as a delegation but i know this, i think this entire congress will come together to not only save lives as we did, help with fema assistance, to get people back out on their feet, but then do smart projects like this one to stop this kind of flooding from ever happening again. that's smart prevention. at the end of the day it's going to save money and save human lives, you know, in the process. in closing, i just want to say that i've never been prouder to call myself a texan. this is my seventh term, judge poe and i came in together, we've seen a lot in seven terms we've been in congress, i've never seen our state rally like this in a time of nee
