>> IT'S STILL NOT SEPARATED. ALL THE PROCEDURES WERE ALL
SHOW, THEY WEREN'T REAL. >> BACK TO YOU TO TEXAS.
TODAY THE PRESIDENT IS SET TO VISIT TEXAS WITH STOPS IN AUSTIN
AND CORPUS CHRISTI. HIS VISIT COMES AS THE WATER
CONTINUES TO RISE, IN SOME PLACES FOR THE MOMENT THE DEATH
TOLL STANDS AT 3 BUT THAT IS SECOND TO RISE.
A MINIVAN CARRYING SEX FAMILY MEMBERS IS SWEPT AWAY.
THE HOTEL SAYS THAT ON TUNE WHILE 100 GUESTS AND ASSOCIATES
WERE BEING EVACUATED, ONE OF THE STAFFERS HELPING GUESTS WENT OUT
WENT MISSING AND IS UNACCOUNTED FOR.
MANDATORY EVACUATIONS CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT.
THE FAY'S MAYOR SAYS AND THEY'RE TELLING PEOPLE IT HANG A TOWEL
OR SHEET PROMINENTLY SO WE CAN FIND YOU.
THE IMAGES BROADCAST FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE INSPIRED PEOPLE
FROM OUTSIDE THE STATE AND BEYOND TO COME AND HELP.
>> WHERE ARE YOU FROM? >> I'M FROM GALVESTON, TEXAS.
>> WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE? >> I WAS SITTING AT HOME, MY
FAMILY WAS HIGH AND DRY AND I HAVE A LIMB BOAT SO I FIGURED
I'D HOPE. >> Reporter: HOW MANY FOLKS?
>> WE PROBABLY PULLED 20 OR SO PEOPLE OUT OF DICKINSON
YESTERDAY AND PROBABLY EIGHT OR NINE TODAY FROM THIS LITTLE
NEIGHBORHOOD HERE. PROBABLY ABOUT 9:00.
>> Reporter: YOU KNOW THERE'S A SPECIAL PLACE FOR YOU SOMEDAY,
MAN. >> THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN OUT
ALL DAY. I CAME OUT A COUPLE OF MINUTES
AGO. I GOT TIRED OF WATCHING PEOPLE
SUFFER ON TV. >> AND YOU WANTED TO COME AND
PITCH IN? >> YEAH, THIS IS OUR CITY.
EVERYBODY WHO IS ABLE TO SHOULD BE OUT HELPING.
I GOT TIRED OF WATCHING IT FROM MY OWN HOME.
>> COMING AFTER NEW YORK CITY, 9/11, ONE OF THE MOST
REMARKABLE THINGS YOU COULD SEE WERE FIRE TRUCKS, FIREFIGHTERS
FROM ALABAMA, FROM KANSAS, FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT WERE
COMING UP DOING WLAEF THEY COULD DO TO HELP AND YOU'RE SEEING
THAT HERE, TOO. PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THE GREAT
STATE OF TEXAS, PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY WANTING TO DO
WHATEVER THEY CAN TO HELP. AS WE'VE SEEN TIME AND TIME
AGAIN IN PICTURES. THEY DON'T CARE WHETHER THE
PERSON THEY'RE HELPING IS WHITE OR BLACK OR HISPANIC OR
ASIAN-AMERICAN. IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER.
THEY'RE THERE TO HELP, THEY'RE THERE TO SAVE LIVES.
AND WE DON'T SEE THE NATURE OF OUR COUNTRY WHEN THERE ARE
PITCHED POLITICAL SHOWS IN PLACES LIKE CHARLOTTESVILLE.
WE SEE THE HEART AND THE TRUE NATURE OF THIS COUNTRY WHEN WE
HAVE TRAGEDY LIKE THIS. >> YES, THE PEOPLE ARE THIS
COUNTRY ARE MUCH BIGGER THAN THEIR PRESIDENT.
>> WE'RE HERE IN HOUSTON. VOLUNTEERS HAVE BEEN SORTING
CLOTHES. THIS IS ONE THING THAT PEOPLE
MOST WANT WITH THEY COME. WE JUST TALKED TO A FAMILY WITH
SMALL CHILDREN, THEY WERE ABLE TO CHANGE INTO DRY CLOTHES.
SOME OF THE PEOPLE ARE WET, THEY'RE BAREFOOT, PERHAPS
THEY'RE COPPING IN FROM A HIGH-WATER RESCUE.
THIS CENTER WAS ORIGINALLY EXPECTED TO WELCOME SOME 5,000
EVACUEES. THEY'VE GONE FAR PAST THAT.
THEY'RE NOW OVER 8,600 PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE THIS DOWNTOWN
CONVENTION CENTER THEIR TEMPORARY HOME FROM NOW.
THEY'RE HOPING TO GET IN MORE TOWELS AND BLANKETS.
THAT'S WHAT THEY NEED MOST. >> JULIA, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> RICK, FINAL THOUGHT? >> I LIVED IN HOUSTON FOR A YEAR
DURING THE CRUZ CAMPAIGN. IT'S A MAJORITY/MINORITY CITY,
IT'S A FASCINATING PLACE. AND THING ABOUT STORY HERE IS
THAT PEOPLE ARE HELPING PEOPLE. I GIVE CREDIT TO THE LOCAL
OFFICIALS WHO ARE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO COME IN.
THAT ONE GUY WHO SAID, LOOK, I CAN'T WATCH THE SUFFERING ON TV.
CONTRAST THAT WITH DONALD TRUMP WHO SAYS THE REASON I ANNOUNCED
ARPAIO'S PARDONS IS BECAUSE THE RATINGS WOULD BE HIGHER FRIDAY
NIGHT. THAT IS A PERSON WHO CANNOT BE
EMPATHETIC. >> IT DOESN'T SEEM HIS CHARACTER
CAN MATCH THE PEOPLE THAT HE'S SUPPOSED TO LEAD.
THAT'S CHARACTER AND WE'VE SEEN IT ALL WEEK, JUST LIKE WE SAW IT
ON 9/11, JUST LIKE WE SAW IT
