CONTINUED GO BACK TO YOU ALL RIGHT. THANKS, RICK. WE'LL SEE A 10. >> AND A BIG PART OF THE STORY IN NEW ORLEANS WAS THE FLOODING. THE SEWERAGE AND WATER BOARD WAS NOT AT 100% AND SOME NEIGHBORHOODS WENT UNDER. >> WGNO IS MALLORY. SMITH HAS BEEN TALKING TO HOMEOWNERS MALLORY. >> WELL, A ORLEANS HURRICANE FRANCINE TORE THROUGH THE AREA, THE NEIGHBORHOOD SURROUNDING LAKE SHORE DRIVE. AND THAT WAS ABUNDANTLY CLEAR. >> IN NEW ORLEANS, HURRICANE FRANCINE TORE THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS SURROUNDING LAKE SHORE, DRIVE THE INTENSE RAIN AND WIND LEAVING BEHIND POOLS OF WATER AND BRANCHES STREWN ACROSS STREETS. IT FAST AND FURIOUS. IT SEEM LIKE IT AT THE RAIN. JUST STARTED COMING IN REALLY QUICK. AND WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY GET THE WATER RISE UNTIL ABOUT 09:00PM. AND THEN IT WENT WAY UP. AREAS WITH SUBSTANTIAL FLOODING. WE'RE DRY BY THE NEXT MORNING. THE THOUSANDS WOKE UP WITHOUT POWER. THE SEWAGE AND WATER BOARD ASKING THE PUBLIC TO LIMIT THEIR WATER USE FOR WASHING DISHES, LAUNDRY AND SHOWERS LOWS. LAST STREET FLOODING. >> BUT THANKFULLY, MY HOUSE, I HAVE POP STILL HAD POWER, NEVER WENT OFF. THE REASON IS MY WIFE'S IDEA. SHE'S IN TEXAS. SHE'D BEEN HERE. DON, THE WATER CAME REALLY QUICK. SO WHAT HAPPENS IS THESE BACK UP? AND ONE OF THE FRONT THERE AND SO JUST RISES RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. AND SO THE WHOLE INTERSECTION IS FULL AND I MEAN, IT WAS IT WAS PROBABLY UP TO MY STEPS OVER THERE. IN THE FRONT, THE HOUNDS RESIDENTS SPENT THE DAY BACKING UP BRANCHES AND LEAVES CLEARING OUT NEIGHBORHOODS 100 STAYING THE NIGHT AT A SHELTER RUN BY THE CITY. OTHERS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HUNKER DOWN AT HOME EVEN WITH THE FLOOD WATERS COMING CLOSE TO BEING INSIDE OF THEIR RESIDENTS. THIS WHOLE AREA WAS COMPLETELY UNDERWATER. >> THE WATER CAME UP TO MY STEPS. ALL OF MAIL IN MALE NAME WAS COMPLETELY COVERED WITH WATER. SO MOST OF US HERE IN OUR CARS OUT ON THE NEUTRAL GROUND BECAUSE OF THAT. AND THERE'S YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, IT'S STILL A STILL GOT WATER. SO WE'RE GRATEFUL THAT THE PUMPS WERE ABLE TO GET ALL THE WATER OF THIS MORNING.
