00:06account but he had to break the window and he got a cut and hit an artery so he
00:13didn't even notice he bled out rescuing his family so that is one of the many
00:18stories we've been hearing and as you can see she said people came and tried
00:22to clear this area as fast as they could because this is now one of the main
00:26points from where rescue people come they have found many bodies in this area so
00:31they are hoping that they can find people here so they can give the relatives some
00:37peace and the number of the people still missing is still more than a hundred in
00:42seventies so that means that there's a lot of work to do and she also points out
00:47that while the efforts on the river are important they're also residences people
00:52low-income retired people who have no ways of helping themselves that also need
01:00help so she's asking that if people want to come and volunteer they also try to
01:04focus on other families I want to turn now to the tragedy unfolding in Texas the
