(( Daybreak shed a new light on southside today, from the land and from the
air, the legacy of tropical storm Fran was widespread and costly.
In South Boston, waters that had receded overnight began to rise again as
the town braced for a second cresting of the Dan River.
Lowlying businesses remained partially submerged, entire roadways were
blocked...giving new meaning to the phrase "you can't get there from here".
((DAN SLEEPER: DEALING WITH PEOPLE CAN BE A MAJOR PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY WANT TO
DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, AND THEY'RE CAUSING PROBLEMS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WANT
TO DO SOMETHING LEGITIMATE.))
The need for federal assistance here is very legitimate.
Late this afternoon, Governor George Allen hooked up with Senators Chuck
Robb and John Warner and Congressman L.F. Payne at the Danville Regional
Airport.
All four had been touring the area by bus and through the skies.. seeing
with their own eyes the severity of the situation.
They assured residents that help was on the way.
((SENATOR JOHN WARNER: UNCLE SAM WILL MOVE VERY SWIFTLY TO HELP. THESE ARE TAX
DOLLARS THAT ARE COMING BACK TO THIS COMMUNITY FOR PEOPLE WHO SUFFERED
DEVASTATING LOSSES.))
Damage from Fran has kept FEMA secretary James Lee Witt busy the past few
days.
Witt says President Clinton has heard the area's cry for help.
((JAMES LEE WITT: HE JUST WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MONEY.. THAT'S BEEN
AFFECTED.))
Witt says that assistance will come in the form of grants and low- interest
loans for homeowners and businesses that have trouble coping with their sudden
losses.
For the town of South Boston, that price tag could top fourteen million
dollars.
