>> NOT ALL IS LOST.
>> WELL, IF JAY GRAY WERE TO
HOP IN HIS SCAR AND HEAD DUE
WEST.
HE’D GO THROUGH JENNINGS, AND
MAKE HIS WAY INTO LAKE CHARLES,
THAT’S WHERE BRANDON WALKER IS
LIVE.
>> WE KNOW YOU WERE IN AN AREA
HIT HARD SIX WEEKS AGO BY
HURRICANE LAURA, WHAT ARE YOU
GUYS SEEING TONIGHT?
>> WELL, RIGHT NOW, AS WE WALK,
BECAUSE OF TECHNOLOGY, TAKING
THE PHONE.
YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE SEE HERE ON
THE SOUTH SIDE OF LAKE CLAURS,
A NEW -- LAKE CHAURLS, A STEADY
SUBDIVISION, GRAY GRAY, IT’S
RAINING HEAVILY.
SOUTH SIDE OF THE TOWN, IF YOU
KNOW YOUR GEOGRAPHY, LAKE
CHARLES, YOU HAVE THE LOOP,
SOUTH OF THE LOOP.
MAKING US FURTHER SOUTH OF
I-10.
THERE’S A CULVERT DEALING WITH
DRAINAGE, IT’S SUPPOSED TO
HANDLE THAT.
THERE’S A CONCERN THAT THERE’LL
BE FLOODING BECAUSE OF THE
CULVERT.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE RAIN IS
COMING AT A STEADY CLIP.
FROM OUR VANTAGE POINT IT SEEMS
THAT FROM THE STREETS, THINGS
ARE WORKING.
THE CONCERN, AS THINGS
INTENSIFY WITH THE I-WALL
REACHING LAND FALL EAR ALONG
THE SOUTH-WEST OF LOUISIANA
COASTLINE IS DEBRIS FROM
HURRICANE LAURA, THE WINDS ARE
PICKING UP, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM
THE LIVE SHOT ON THE CELL
PHONE, AND YOU HAVE PILES OF
DEBRIS AND NEIGHBOURS ARE
CONCERNED WITH WHAT MAY BE.
YOU CAN HEAR THE WIND RIPPING.
THE LIGHT IS PULLING IN THE
WIND AS THINGS INTENSIFY ON THE
SOUTH SIDE OF TOWN.
WE MENTIONED THE CONCERN IS THE
CULVERT.
THERE’S A SHERIFF DEPUTY
STANDING GUARD MAKING SURE THAT
THINGS ARE ALL RIGHT IN THE
SOUTH DIVISION, AS I TURN THE
CAMERA AROUND.
WE HAVE A BIT OF A TECHNOLOGY
FAILURE.
WE ARE WORKING WITH THE CELL
PHONE, IN LAKE CHARLES,
MONITORING CONDITIONS, AS I
WALK HERE, TURN THE CAMERA
AROUND.
AND IT’S COMING DOWN IN A
STEADY CLIP AS RESIDENTS IN
SWORN LOUISIANA, LAKE CHARLES,
SOUTH OF THE LOOP, DEAL WITH
HURRICANE DELTA, AND WHAT IT
MEANS FOR THIS AREA.
LOOK AT THIS HOUSE HERE, YOU
CAN SEE THE SIDING THAT IS
BEGINNING TO GO.
THIS AREA FARED FAIRLY WELL
DURING HURRICANE LAURA, AND A
LOT OF IT IS BECAUSE IT’S A
NEWY DEVELOPED SUBDIVISION, BUT
YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
ARE WORRIED.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SCARED.
AND YOU SEE REN APE, YOU SEE AT
LOT OF PEOPLE KIRD OF WHAT
THE -- PEOPLE FIRED OF WHAT THE
FORECAST HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST
SIX WEEKS AS WE WALK I AND
SHOW YOU THE CONDITIONS.
WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
TREAT.
THERE’S NOT A CONCERN OF
FLOODING - EXCUSE ME I FORGOT
MY BOOTS IN THE TRUCK, AS WE
WALK ALONG THE STREETS, YOU CAN
SEE IT IS RAIN OF COURSE,
WINDY, THERE’S MINOR STREET
FLOODING, NOT A DISTANT TURN
HERE.
ON THE SOUTH END OF
SAINT-CHARLES. CONDITIONS ARICING UP.
CONDITIONS ARICING UP.
FLOODING IN
seeing how many people chose to
stay and how many left I see a
lot of lights on inside out.
>> Right yeah, you see some
lights but most people here in
.
>> MOST PEOPLE IN THE
NEIGHBOURHOOD ARE GONE, YOU ARE
LOOKING AT LIGHTS OUTSIDE.
THIS IS A REFLECTION.
IT HAPPENS TO BE RENAE LEVINE’S
NEIGHBOURHOOD.
HER PARENTS LIVE HERE, MOST GOT
OUT.
THE SHERIFF’S DEPUTY LIVES ON
THE STREET AND IS WORKING, AND
ACCORDING TO RENAE IS GOOD
FRIENDS WITH HER DAD, AND HE IS
WORKING, MAKING SURE EVERYTHING
IS SAFE.
IN THIS NEIGHBOURHOOD NOW,
WHILE THERE ARE CARS, WHILE YOU
SEE THE LIGHTS OUTSIDE HOMES,
MOST PEOPLE ARE GONE ON THE
SOUTH SIDE OF TOWN, AND I THINK
DOMINIQUE, A LOT OF THAT HAS TO
DO WITH OH, MY GOODNESS, WHY DO
WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS
AGAIN. SIX WEEKS AGO THEY HAD TO DEAL
SIX WEEKS AGO THEY HAD TO DEAL WITH LAURA, AND IF YOU HAD
WITH LAURA, AND IF YOU HAD
CONCERNS THE BILLS OF DEBRIS,
THE CONCERN WITH THE WIND IS WE
MAY PICK UP THE SUPPLIES.
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
THROUGHOUT TOWN.
THERE’S A MIX OF PEOPLE WHO GOT
OUT.
PEOPLE THAT PAY.
I’LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU GUYS.
>> AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY BACK TO SHELTER.
WHY DON’T YOU PAN THE CAMERA
AROUND.
WE REMEMBER RINNE DOING A LIVE
INTERVIEW.
SHE WAS IN THE PARKING
STRUCTURE THERE.
AND WE WERE LISTENING TO HER,
SHE WAS RECOUNTING WHAT IT
MEANT.
DEVELOPING AGAIN.
>> THINGS ARE MAKING UM.
GO AHEAD.
YOU ARE SAYING CONDITIONS ARE
WORSENING ON WHAT YOU ARE
SAYING.
IT MAY BE HARD FOR HIM TO HEAR
US, DEPENDING THE WAY THE WIND
IS HITTING, HE PROBABLY CANNOT.
HE IS MAKING HIS WAY BACK OVER
TO SHELTER.
WE SAW THE SIDING OF THE HOUSE
BEING PEELED OFF.
AND THAT HAS TO BE HAPPENING TO
OTHER HOUSES, I HAVE NOT SEEN -
I DON’T KNOW IF YOU HAVE FLYING
DEBRIS, THERE’S ONLY SO MUCH
BATTERING A HOME AND STRUCTURE
CAN TAKE.
WE ARE SEEING THE RAIN AND THE
PONDING AS MENTIONED.
THIS WAS MORE OF A RAIN EVENT
THAT A WINT EVENT.
AND TO THE LEFT IS THE STORM
TRACK
TRACKER THE WHITE PICK UP.
THAT’S WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN
CRISS-CROSSING ALL DAY TO GET
US THE BEST PICTURES, AS
HURRICANE DELTA MAKES A WAY
ACROSS.
LOOK AT THAT, REMNANTS OF A
STORM SIX WEEKS AGO.
>> I SAW THE LIGHTS FLICKER,
HOW LONG WILL THEY HAVE POWER,
THEY STILL HAVE BEEN POWER.
BRANDON IS IN LAKE CHARLES WILL
HE’S OFF LOOP 220.
WE’VE FLOAT SEEN ANYTHING
SINCE. FOR THE FOLKS THAT HAVE DAMAGE,
FOR THE FOLKS THAT HAVE DAMAGE,
REBUILDING DOESN’T HAPPEN
OVERNIGHT.
WEG YOU HAVE WIDESPREAD DAMAGE,
IT CAN TAKE MONTHS TO GET THE
ROOFS ON, THEN YOU HAVE THIS
EVENT ON BEATEN UP HOMES, THE
PROCESS FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, IT
WILL GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING.
>> SQUARE ONE.
>> IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
I WONDER HOW LONG DID IT TAKE
COMMUNITIES TO GET THEIR POWER
BARKS IT WAS WEEKS BEFORE THEY
HAD POWER, WE SAW AN OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT FROM OUR COMMUNITY E
OF SUPPORT FROM OUR COMMUNITY E
AND WE REALIZED SOME OF YOU
