[0:57] Schaefer. And Bob is off tonight. The
[1:00] water is slowly flowing out of New
[1:02] Orleans, but there is still plenty left.
[1:04] The Army Corps of Engineers estimates
[1:06] that 60% of the city remains underwater.
[1:09] And that water is contaminated. It is
[1:11] disgusting. It is dangerous. Yet, some
[1:14] people insist on living in the middle of
[1:17] the germinfested stew. The police say
[1:19] that most who were willing to leave
[1:21] voluntarily have done so. For the rest,
[1:24] officers have orders to remove them, but
[1:26] they say they will do that with as
[1:28] little force as necessary.
[1:30] >> CBS News correspondent Byron Pittz is in
[1:32] New Orleans and begins our coverage
[1:34] tonight.
[1:36] >> The pumps are working, the water's
[1:38] receding as the levies are patched up.
