Tonight more communities are under water. Here in Pine Bluff Arkansas, the river has crept up to rooftops and it's still not expected to crest for days. It's just, it's crazy. I mean you just can't really explain it. Today we toured Fort Smith on the western edge of the state where hundreds of homes were inundated. It's been huge and it's gonna continue to be huge, because you know once this water finally gets out of here, people are going to start trying to rebuild and clean up and so we're gonna be dealing with this probably all summer. Normally beyond these trees is the Arkansas river but now look at all this water, extending those homes all the way over there.
Tommy White has lived here for 25 years. How tough is it to look at this with so much water? That is heartbreaking. Oh my god, we didn't have time to get all of our furniture out. Everything still in there until we can get in. See what it's like. We have no idea what was destroyed. After weeks of severe weather swollen rivers are also forcing new evacuations in Missouri east of kansas city. For so many across the south and central plains. Tonight a sense of despair. Very helpless you know, you can't, we are at the mercy of the lord. When we can get back in there. And see what the damage is, what we lost. There is a road under all this but the water extends as far as the eye can see here in Pine Bluff and the threat is not over yet. This region is expected to get more rain this week.
