Our greatest concern is how many flooded homes are there along the north shore.

The only good news that we have is that the weather has lightened up.

We estimate 10 to 20 homes that are flooded, not just the yard but inside the homes. We anticipate finding more flooded homes.

In my professional opinion, it is beyond the state's capability and we need help. Above all, there's been an impact on people and that impact is continuous.

It is our hope that maybe there's somebody down there that we can still find alive.

It is not over yet. It is a growing crisis. We need a break in weather, we are monitoring and we are responding.

We have got to look at that issue as citizens across the state.

In many respects, because of the advent new rains this week, we are still in the response mode.

The data we get from that and over the next few days will go toward justification for a presidential disaster declaration.
