Are people still trapped in their attics?

The horrific thought I keep having is of the people who are still trapped inside their attics. We saw the footage today of the Coast Guardsman who was chopping through the roof of a house that was only a couple of feet above the water. There are no doubt more people hiding in their attics and with this latest bad news about the water rising more I'm afraid they will drown in their attics. I can't imagine a more horrific death.

According to the coverage I watched about two hours ago, yes.

They said on FOX that they will continue to work through the night but yes people are still trapped. Hopefully they can get these people out tommorow.
