The hurricane followed Dean rescue flood in Oklahoma

Fredricka whitfield, CNN anchor: Fort, dangerous, Dean deadly. We have, since the hurricane tracked the weekend. Storms on the Caribbean islands, the island of Cyprus. We live with the last.
But first, the video amazing at the moment, a helicopter rescue heroic. This will take place in Oklahoma. A hello, that almost terribly wrong, it was terribly right front. We have a lot more time here in the extreme to the USA

Hello, I’m Fredricka Whitfield. A right an hour of transport in the NEWSROOM. But first a look at extreme weather events, the heart of our nation at this time. The remnants of Tropical Storm formally come central Oklahoma, which is dramatic rescue by helicopter and boat. Two people floating in water in the city of King Fisher, right, individually removed, but even saves.

(Begin video clip)

Mirror boy: Oh, no! That is exactly what I could not see.

(END video clip)

WHITFIELD: It was a place of rescue. The victim easy to lose the hand. They were able, for that person in the chopper, dried, then a country very similar scene takes place almost as an Instant Replay, with only the second victim. Both, we understand to be treated, are on the ground, and seem to be in order. But only a little shaken.

In the meantime, there were a lot of structural damage, and the power of wind and rain. A roof home care’s known, but fortunately no one was injured. In addition, there are power outages widespread. We receive more information on floods and saves KWTV Rosa Flores’s King Fisher.

Where is the priority for the moment, Rosa?

ROSA Flores, KWTV Reporter: Well, the focus is right behind me. And you can - if we pan around, they are debriefing, delivery of summons. We made a boat in the next, as we speak. We have seen several rescue the yacht this morning. People have saved their belongings in plastic bags, they had their handbags around their necks, trying to earn as much as you. But then, there are several agencies firefighters, state guards, who are trying to regroup and assess not only the damage, but try to save as many people as possible - Fredricka.

WHITFIELD: All right. And tell me a little more about the active search under way. You mentioned a couple, family members have tried to contact the couple. Where do the saviour? How can it know its first steps to be taken?

FLORES: Well, last I heard the salvation is not yet complete. I am not sure if they found the couple or not. But the last I heard, it was common practice and a family member was unable to establish contact with the couple. And yes, they were Rescue - she had rescue teams outside, looking for them.

Furthermore, they were in their homes, and it was an old couple.

WHITFIELD: OK. And once again, as many people have their own type of boats, et cetera, they want to help their neighbors, it can be both, which is the encouragement or discouragement perhaps even the city in case of ‘emergency teams?

FLORES: Well, crisis management tells me it is not - they are asking people not to water, remain on the dry soil, to ensure they are safe. There they actively research, because human beings always connect in homes. And they invite people, when they invited to help another, they are calling for them to remain on the dry soil and not in the water, because they do not know what is in the water.

Recently, we heard that it was an oil slick. And so, there’s oil in the field of water, wastewater treatment is also a problem. Today, we had a smell of natural gas and we know that local gas company has been dealing with this problem. And yes, these are only development, and urgently that we have tried to manage, against all these situations as they come.

WHITFIELD: And Rose, another major problem is, while water has affected some very common as well. We saw that in some saves air takes place before. What is high, that disability plans for the rescue?

FLORES: I’m sorry, could you repeat the question?

WHITFIELD: currents, which we see as a result of this flood, it is hampering the rescue efforts in some way?

FLORES: Yes, these flows are certainly - we have seen, and they are also - are also flows from the west, from a town called Watonga that we talked. And yet, these trends are a little difficult, because the water - it makes the water still rising, and it does - it creates a prejudice increasingly a concern, because it will return to homes and caused more damage .

WHITFIELD: Ye. Rose Flores, thank you very much also the KWTV. And thank you very much for the update.

Until then, a little earlier, I spoke with one of your colleagues, is a helicopter pilot and thanks to him, Mason Dunn (ph), we saw a number of actions rescue That it was held today, many of which were made right at Live - Television. Let us hear Mason Dunn’s thoughts before.

MASON Dunn, KWTV HELICOPTER PILOT: You do not very often, so I’m sure it was a learning experience for them. But you know, as soon as he received the lady, the first person to be rescued from the palette, where it could rely on the palette, then the nature and transport.

But, yes, you’re right, they - these two people were in a pick-up truck, you can barely see the end, you know, in the water. And the helicopter was flying above it and threw some life jackets and it was not long after the heavy weight has decreased, and these people were in the water in the current.
