In the interview, Nelson said she went to Houston after Hurricane Katrina. Now, she's experiencing the hardship again, as she's stranded by Tropical Storm Harvey.
As she spoke, she gave the audience a firsthand look at just how severe the flooding is in her area, turning the camera around to reveal the flooding.
Nelson said she'd been reaching out to authorities for help, but despite her calls, she wasn't given any sense of when she'd receive help. She added that she'd been calling every number she's been given, called 911, and has been posting online trying to receive help.
"We don't know," she said. "And the water is moving fast, and it's coming up real, real fast."
During the interview, Nelson also gave the GMAanchors her location, and the anchors relayed the information to the Coast Guard in an effort to get help for Nelson and everyone else on the roof.
"Please help us, I'm scared," she said.
