It's a tough trek for a lot of people.

We asked them to leave yesterday. I had some of the villages checked again today, because some people didn't want to leave their homes.

We'll resume first hour in the morning tomorrow [Saturday].

You don't see any houses any more. I saw only four rooftops that were covered by water; everything else was covered by mud.

I have a glimmer of hope, based on the rule of thumb: Within 24 hours, you can still find survivors. After that, you move on to the recovery phase.

The ground has really been soaked.
