additional cdbg funding because that's what was used in the floods in north dakota in the 1990's that helped us recover, that's what was used in louisianao help them recover. that's what's going to be needed here in cases where flooding occurred. madam president, here's the headline from "the minot daily news." projection: devastation." when they were told the water level was rising as rapidly as it was, there was no time to defend the type. they had levees that were supposed to be good for a 100-year flood but canada lost control of one of its major dams. their provincial leadership told our governor the floodgates are wide open. we've lost control of the dam. and that wall of water is coming your way. and that meant in a short period of time the projections for the height of the water in minot, north dakota, went up 10 feet in 48 hours. there is no way to raise miles and miles of levees ten feet in 48 hours. that's humanly impossible. madam president, what's the result? everywhere you look, flooding.

in louisiana. thank you for joining us.ou again. >> good to see you. >> jamie: yesterday, you were very concerned. do you have a better sense now of what you will get and how to prepare? >> we're lucky that no homes flooded yet but we see the water over top of the levees in the middle of the parish. we are concerned. we will make a call later today if that continues. whether to evacuate the south end of the parish. that will continue to push against the levee. it was authorized to be put in the federal system but not started construction. that is a 3-1/2-footle vie. we're seeing over top and as we speak, we have men heading out there to put the sandbags and tubes to stop it. >> jamie: i don't want to point fingers and you don't either. you want to keep people in the parish safe but why are we having a conversation about levees when there are plans for quite some time to support them to the point in a hurricane or storm you won't worry. >> it's frustrated. we asked the corps to give us the money and let us build them. but th

in louisiana. there are serious kens about widespread flooding. >> this storm is moving painfully slow. and again, the greatest risk for us is to get a lot of rain in a very short period of time. >> low lying areas that were evacuated have already had some flooding, but so far the storm has not created as much damage as officials had feared. still, it is testing the strengths of the pumps and levee systems in new orleans that were all renovated after hurricane katrina. >>> the notre dame south florida football game this afternoon was one for the record books and not so much for the action on the field, but also about the weather surrounding it. check out this picture of lightning, it appeared to hit the notre dame stadium after a severe thunderstorm forced two separate evacuations. fans were asked to leave at half time and seek shelter in nearby buildings. play resumed two hours later, and then another storm cell forced a 30 minute delay in the fourth quarter. this was the first time in the history of notre dame that a game was dlatd due to weather. notre dame lost to south florida 23-20 once play resumed. >>> coming up n

in louisiana. ed lavandera joins us from louisiana. how bad is it where you are? >> reporter: hi alina, what they are worried about isn't so much the rain because it hasn't rained for several hours and the wind is no longer a factor. they are concerned about the tidal surge, it is pushing water from the gulf of mexico into this community. you see dozens of home like this where water is threatening to go inside these homes. we've got the jefferson parish president john young joining us. what's the situation like around here? >> we're just fighting back the water from the gulf of mexico being pushed up. the threat here is tidal surge. we're outside the levee protection system and every storm we have to fight the tidal surge when the wind comes from the south. we're using sandbags, tiger dams and rock dice. >> >> reporter: do you think you've seen the worst of the flooding so far? >> we've seen the worst today. it's all connected to the high tide. hopefully the local weather authorities are predicting a change in the wind direction and pushing the wind coming from th

i'm annie brown, and i grew up in louisiana with a family that stayed behind. and we used to wish that our parents would move to california. but we stayed in louisiana, so i'm curious because you've expanded my conception of the people who are part of the great migration. i didn't consider myself a part of the great migration. but i did leave louisiana in the '60s to attend washington university in st. louis. and i know there were a number of students in the south that left historically black colleges and others to go to graduate school. and so i'm, um, it's almost like i was not -- i feel i was not a part of the great migration, but i was a beneficiary of the great migration. and so i'm just curious, you know, because to me it's almost like a new, another book. the new migrants. those folk that migrated at another time when they weren't experiencing, experiencing quite the same things that people experienced earlier. jim crow was there, i rode on the back of the bus, but there were other things that had softened, but it was opportunity and education that drove us. >> gues

up with former louisiana governor and republican presidential candidate buddy roemer and i first asked him about his history of switching parties see but he used to be a democrat but in one thousand nine hundred one it became or republican. a couple of things one was over time i found myself in my official duties. being more and more prone to doing republican things whatever public and. a budget that was in balance taxes that were low business friendly jobs being important a strong military to keep america free an education system that works best locally and didn't come from washington those are kind of republican principles that they don't always follow. and they're not always successful but i just found myself i grew up a democrat in the south a conservative democrat most democrat most southerners born in the forty's and fifty's were democrats. so i was born a democrat conservative and then over time i changed and then number two while i was governor of louisiana i found it was a one party state everybody was democrat all my legislators were democrats now you know what a one party state is it's a dictatorship there's no debate. i mean typically i do not but it's tr

us this video. >> here on lake pontchartrain in mandeville, louisiana, you can see that the water is topping the seawall and the yards are starting to flood in the low-lying areas. of course, everybody on this stretch of lake anticipating the flooding, and all of the houses are razed 15 feet above sea level. we expect to see a lot of water. >> and yes, water and lots of it. ed lavandara is at the place that was almost wiped off of the map six years ago by hurricane katrina. >> residents of the gulf of louisiana here in waveland, mississippi, feel like they have taken on the worst of tropical storm lee. this is the gulf of mexico, and you can see how choppy and churned up tropical storm lee has made the gulf waters. that is a dangerous and treacherous situation out there in those waters, so emergency officials urging people to stay out of the water and don't get out on boats, and no reason to do that. you can see how powerful the storm surge was a few hours ago. this is the beach front road, and all of the sand was on the beach, but pushed up here by the storm tide a few hours ago. but some of the good t
