[0:28] 54321 and here we go.
[0:30] This is definitely a
[0:31] monster heading towards us.
[0:32] There will be intense winds
[0:34] all across this area.
[0:37] That's going to make landfall
[0:39] somewhere in this area.
[0:40] If you can leave me now,
[0:41] you are under a mandatory evacuation order.
[0:44] The traffic is 3 lanes deep,
[0:45] headed towards Baton Rouge.
[0:47] This is not a test. This is
[0:49] the real deal. And we're seeing gusts
[0:51] of about 100 miles an hour.
[0:53] It's just so massive.
[0:56] We are facing a storm that
[0:58] most of us have feared.
[1:00] We're in God's hands.
[1:05] And the news has
[1:06] gone from bad to worse.
[1:08] The water is going to continue to rise.
[1:10] A levee breach has occurred along
[1:12] the Industrial Canal.
[1:18] A lot of people inside of their attics,

[1:21] We're trying to get them out. Right now
[1:23] it looks like a war zone.
[1:24] I've never seen nothing like
[1:25] it in my lifetime. This

[1:28] People all over the levees,
[1:30] all over houses, and they're going
[1:32] to die unless we can get help.
[1:35] It's been a nightmare.
[1:36] Holy, holy hell.
[1:38] It's hard to believe that we're
[1:39] witnessing this kind of flooding.
[1:41] We just need help.
[1:44] This thing is telling our kids
[1:45] what it looks like.
[1:47] You gonna make you gonna be alright?
[1:49] We're going to be fine.
[1:51] We have our faith.
[1:52] Thank God for that.
[1:57] In 19 high tide.
[1:59] Awesome. Man, I can't.
[2:00] I can't tell the public enough.
[2:01] WWL was on the air 24/7 during
[2:04] the storm and immediately after
[2:06] Mike Halls and Dennis Walton.
[2:08] This stood with me. WWLTV
[2:11] stayed on this thing from the beginning.
[2:13] Let me tell you something, these
[2:15] guys are
