DIFFICULT TRAVEL THROUGH THE
MOUNTAINS, BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER.
I WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH MORE OF
IT AND THE FORECAST COMING UP.
>>> AND NOW, IF FAIR TAX, THERE
WAS A HOME PILED UP WITH TRASH,
AND THE BUREAU OF SANITATION
SAYS THEY HAVE REMOVED MORE THAN SEVEN TONS OF WEATHER.
>> KATHY, I SPOKE WITH ONE
SANITATION WORKER OVER A MESS
LIKE THIS.
THEY MADE PROGRESS IN THE
BACKYARD AND FRONT YARD. BUT WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT ELSE
WE FOUND.
>> Reporter: SUNDAY, THE CREWS
