down decatur street. you can see the wind gusts really, streaming toward us here. and some of the rain getting more violent as well. so we've got that to contend with. authorities here have said they have shut down emergency services. people call 9-1-1 now, they are not going to be able to get to you. our photo journalist and i can walk you over here to see more of the damage. getting pelted around violently here. jake, if you come over here, we can go around this side and you can see more of the damage. pan down. you can see some of the debris that came off of this collapsed roof. emergency services have been suspended for you. they cannot get to people who are going to call 9-1-1. they have said, though, that we've talked to officials from the southeast louisiana flood protection authority a short time ago. they're very confident the levies and the flood gates here are going to hold. this is a much, much different, much more fortified system than existed right before hurricane katrina. a storm surge they believe they can handle. again, the rainfall, it's getting

of african-american soldiers including his brother charles to try and go vote at the courthouse in decatur, mississippi and were turned away by white men with guns. but medgar evers said in recalling that day, i vowed that day i would never be whipped again. and so he applied, believe it or not, to the university of mississippi to attend law school there. he was turned away. this is, again, before brown versus board of education and before james meredith ended up becoming the first known african-american student there. he became field secretary for the naacp in mississippi and he roamed the state of mississippi, put about 40,000 miles a year on his oldsmobile. and so he went to naacp branches, tried to recruit members. he got involved in voting rights. he was involved in the protests and sit-ins that took place in downtown jackson. he wasn't involved in the sit-in but he was involved in the organization of students. we have one of them here with us tonight, joan trompauer is with us tonight.

this is actually a portion of a roof here at decatur and taluse. we got here when it was still dark we thought maybe it was one of the balconies from the neighborhoods. it's actually a portion of a roof it also ripped down a lamp post with it and damaged one of those balconies on that upper floor. we want to show you some video that we gathered within the last hour or so of other streets here in the neighborhood. lots of trees down that's certainly the majority of the damage and debris that we've seen in this area. a lot of buildings were damaged. a lot of windows have been blown out, despite the fact that many of them were boarded up overnight. you mentioned that the storm is now a tropical storm the danger is not over yet, though we have heard several flash flood warnings and advisories for various communities, especially here in the southern portion of the state those still remain in effect in this hour, in some cases until 10:00 a.m. local time. so people are certainly not out of the woods just yet. the other issue this morning is power. more t

morning to you look, we've been showing you some of the damage we saw here on the corner of telussa and decatural in the first hour how the rest of the french quarter was doing. we've been driving around a little bit it looks to have held up there are some building collapses, but they seem to be older buildings or buildings that were in repair already. it looks like most of the french quarter is okay, but the big problems right now, the massive power outages. nearly a million people without power across southern louisiana. here in new orleans, that's affecting both cell phone towers and some of the sewage pumps we're also following reports that a massive electrical tower collapsed into the mississippi river. now we're hearing reports that some of the river towns, including a place called john lafitte, have had catastrophic damage the leveeings didn't fail, but they became overtopped, so the water rushed in over if you can imagine that, those levees are so high, the water rose so high over those levees that now these towns apparently are flooded and the rescues are under way as we speak. so we'r
