WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. >> THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT CAMERON HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT WITH THE FLASH FLOODING. WE ON KIRBY AVENUE, AND AS YOU CAN SEE PARTS ARE STILL PASSABLE, BUT IF YOU CONTINUE, IT IS A ROADBLOCK. THERE IS HIGH WATER, AND JUST OVER HERE YOU CAN SEE WATER GUSHING UP OUT OF THE ROADWAY. THIS IS NOT A WATER MAIN BREAK, THIS IS JUST THE CREEK PACKING UP AND COMING THROUGH THE MANHOLE. THIS IS IMPASSABLE. THESE FOLKS HAVE NOT BEEN IT BACK YOU WAITED AT THIS POINT. CREWS SAY THEY ARE NOT EVACUATING -- PEOPLE ARE OK. THEY HAVEN’T HAD WATER IN THEIR BASEMENTS YET, BUT THEY ARE WATCHING THE SITUATION. SOME OF THE ROADS OFF KIRBY ARE CLOSED, BUT COMING DOWN KIRBY HERE, THESE BACKYARDS HAVE VERY HIGH WATER, AND KIRBY IS CLOSED JUST A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN PAST MARTHA. WE HAVE SEEN FOLKS TRYING TO GO THROUGH THIS HIGH WATER. WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS A CAR STRANDED THERE. WE HAVE SEEN A COUPLE OF CARS, LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT SEE ONE -- NO, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY MIGHT HEED THE WARNINGS. A GENTLEMAN FROM DUKE ENERGY JUST SAID, WE DON’T KNOW WHAT IS IN THERE, IF IT’S A MANHOLE THAT HAS COME UP. AGAIN, TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWNED. NOT JUST A CATCHY PHRASE HERE. YOU DON’T KNOW HOW HIGH THE WATER IS, SO HERE ON THE NORTH SIDE, WE ARE SEEING FLASH FLOODING AND SOME ROADS CLOSED. USE CAUTION THIS MORNING. THEY HAVE CREWS OUT HERE, AND WE SAW A BUS OUT HERE, SO JUST BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THEY HAD TO RADIO AHEAD, AND THEIR ROUTES WERE CHANGED. IF YOU RELY ON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, BE AWARE IT MAY BE ALTERED THIS MORNING.
