joe mertz on the phone with us. again who took this drone video. owing us the decision in his neighborhood. joe, thank you so much for your time. we wish you safety, your family safety, and we will stay in touch with you as, you know, you ride the storm out. >> incredible images there. another dramatic rescue. this one at a nursing home in deckinson, texas. just south of houston. about two dozen residents air-lifted to safety by helicopter sunday. senior citizens were up to their waists in water. waiting for help to arrive. some were in wheel chairs and on oxygen. cnn spoke to the boughter of the woman who owned that facility. >> it was a quick text. just in the morning. just thinking she was going to tell me maybe the power was out and just the pictures in response very brief in what she was saying that she needed help. at that point we just had to take it upon ourselves to try to do whatever to save them. she said the water was rising. that was the last thing i heard. so my thought at that point was, i mean, they are going to be dead within hours.
