WAS SWEPT DOWN RIVER LIKE A BATH. TOY. NOW IT'S WRAPPED AGAINST. THOSE TREES AND YOU CAN SEE IT'S. DRIZZLING RIGHT NOW. WE'VE BEEN. RECEIVING EMERGENCY ALERTS ON. OUR PHONES, AND AT THIS POINT, OFFICIALS ARE SAYING THAT ANY. AMOUNT OF RAINFALL IS. POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING. BECAUSE THE GROUND HERE IS SO. VERY SATURATED. >> WITH THAT DEVASTATION, JUST. UNIMAGINABLE. MATT GUTMAN, THANK. YOU. AND TONIGHT WE'RE ALSO. HEARING THOSE INCREDIBLE STORIES. OF SURVIVAL. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE. HAVE BEEN RESCUED SO FAR, SOME. DESPERATELY CLINGING TO TREES.

YOU WILL ALL BE WASHED AWAY. >> OFFICIALS CONTINUE TO SAY. THIS KIND OF CATASTROPHIC EVENT. IS SOMETHING NO ONE COULD HAVE. PREDICTED. >> THE MOMENT IN TIME WHEN THEY. KNEW THE MAGNITUDE OF THE WATER. IT'S A DIFFICULT DECISION. WHETHER OR NOT TO BEGIN. EVACUATING PEOPLE OR NOT, BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE A WARNING. TELLING EVERYBODY TO EVACUATE, YOU COULD ACTUALLY LEAD THEM TO. THEIR DEATH. >> IT IS RAINY NOW, ONCE AGAIN. IN THIS AREA, AND WEATHER. CONDITIONS CAN DETERMINE WHETHER.

OR NOT A PLANE, A HELICOPTER, CAN BE IN THE AIR SAFELY. BUT. REGARDLESS, THIS CREW THAT WE. WERE WITH TODAY, THEY ARE. COMMITTED TO THE MISSION OF. FINDING THOSE MISSING PEOPLE, NO. MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES. IT IS. A SENTIMENT THAT HAS BEEN SHARED. BY LOCAL AND STATE AUTHORITIES. DAYS, WEEKS OR EVEN LONGER WITH. >> YES, A MASSIVE OPERATION. MARIA. THANK YOU. LET'S GET.
