[0:01] Updates of teens in crisis on the next
[0:03] Montel.
[0:07] The rush is on to get the last holdouts
[0:09] out of New Orleans and away from the
[0:11] bacteriainfested floodwaters as the
[0:14] first disease related deaths are
[0:16] reported in the hurricane zone. And the
[0:20] government warns the disaster will have
[0:22] a significant impact on the US economy
[0:25] and your heating bill. Good evening, I'm
[0:28] Bob Schaefer. John Roberts in New
[0:30] Orleans is again heading up our coverage
[0:33] of the devastation on the Gulf Coast.
[0:36] Tonight, police are going to every house
[0:38] here and telling people they have to
[0:40] leave. Evacuees are trying to adjust to
[0:43] a very different world, very far from
[0:45] home. And hurricane victims are finding
[0:48] new ways to reach out and find lost
[0:51] relatives.
[0:56] This is the CBS Evening News with Bob
[1:00] Schaefer.
[1:01] >> There are still about 10,000 people left
[1:04] in New Orleans. And Dr. Julie Gerbiting,
[1:06] the head of the National Centers for
[1:09] Disease Control, told them today they
[1:11] must get out. She spoke after the first
[1:14] government test confirmed that flood
[1:16] water bacteria from sewage are now 10
[1:20] times higher than acceptable safety
[1:22] levels. Four people in the disaster zone
[1:25] are now believed dead because of
[1:27] bacteria in the water. And the danger
[1:30] now is from E. coli germs, certain
[1:32] viruses, and chalera-like bacteria
[1:35] common in warm Gulf Coast waters. Again,
[1:38] tonight we have CBS News correspondents,
[1:41] producers, and photographers spread
[1:43] across the region and at evacuee centers
[1:46] across the country. We start in New
[1:48] Orleans with John Robbins. Huh.
[1:51] >> Good evening
