Harvey moved off the coast of Texas but offered NO respite for Houston as floodwaters continued to reach historic highs this morning and the storm threatened another landfall farther east, potentially imperiling Louisiana later in the week.
The storm has now surpassed 49 inches of rainfall in at least one location, making it the largest-ever tropical storm in the contiguous U.S., the National Weather Service said.
Incomprehensible!
Trump met with Texas Governor Greg Abbott and other officials at a firehouse in Corpus Christi, close to where Harvey first made landfall earlier today.
The death toll remains unclear.
The incessant rain in the Houston area did NOT let up throughout the night, adding to floodwaters that have inundated the area and dumping water into already strained reservoirs that officials said this morning would overflow for the first time ever.
Citizen participation in the rescue efforts is of the highest order! People of ALL colors working side by side.
