A woman being interviewed Tuesday by CNN's Rosa Flores about her experience during Hurricane Harvey criticized the reporter for talking to victims, the Independent Journal Review reported.

Danielle, who was already staged in front of the camera when Flores started the interview, with her two children at a shelter. Flores asked her how they were rescued and Danielle told them that after 36 hours of waiting some men picked them up.

"We had been there five days with no food, no lights and nobody came," said Danielle.

Flores then asked her how she took care of her kids when Danielle started visibly getting upset.

"Four feet of water to get them food on the first day," she began. "Yeah. That's a lot of s**t."

She continued: "But y'all sit here, trying to interview people during their worst times. Like, that's not the smartest thing to do. Like, people are really breaking down and y'all are sitting here with cameras and microphones trying to ask us what the f**k is wrong with us. And you really trying to understand with the microphone still in my face. When he's shivering cold, when my kid's wet, and you still putting the microphone in my face!"

Flores apologized several times and then sent the camera back to Jim Acosta in studio.

Harvey hit Texas over the weekend, bringing torrential rains, deadly flooding and catastrophic damage to some southeastern areas of the state.
