RUSH EXCERPT:

JENKINS: ">> You see a situation where a lot of the wind damage and a lot of the quote, unquote hurricane damage. The cheesy the flooding in Houston Texas and that is where we find Chris Jenkins life. Good morning. Reporter, good morning, guys. Davis county flood control announces flood control is greatly exceeded the 500 year mark. It is indeed the catastrophic life-threatening flooding that they’re worried about. Look where we are. This is into downtown Houston. Taylor wrote in a 10 is not a river you are looking at. That is interstate 10 and that is three or more feet of water that it is submerged under. The situation here this morning is deteriorating. We were en route, guys, to what was a reported over social media mother and child in a dire situation, possibly a loss of life that other tragic loss of life we learned about that occurred overnight. A woman who braved the water in her car, got trapped, got out and drowned. We talked about it yesterday. As we were trying to work her way into town, we could not get their obviously shut down. I cannot overstate the plea from the emergency services here for people not to get out in today’s because emergency services are overwhelmed. We are hearing — in fact, on Twitter we were reading the Harris county sheriff’s Twitter tweeting help, help, help here this is a case for their pleading for for the sheriff to get there. A sheriff tweeting back from a sad situation. I cannot get them. We are hearing about the Houston police department and vehicles being stranded in this as well and it is just beginning. We are only in today’s two. We are hearing the airport also shut down, water flooding the runways. This situation right now has become the most dangerous since tropical storm Allison. We talked about that in 2001. 23 death and taxes come in 10 billion by the end of it and this is just getting underway. Clear creek has peaked 12 feet. That exceeds the benchmark for tropical storm Allison. Tropical storm Harvey is now the benchmark for the worst destruction in terms of flooding and is just getting started in the second day, guys"
