Through Sunday morning, Harvey continued to unleash record levels of rain on Houston, causing “catastrophic” flooding in the city and in surrounding Harris County. At least one storm-related death in Houston was reported on Sunday, after a woman was found dead by her water-deluged car.
Over 24 hours, the greater Houston and Galveston area received 24.1 inches of rain. The National Weather Service warned of “additional catastrophic, unprecedented and life threatening flooding” into the next week, and placed flash-flood emergencies for all of Southeast Texas.
As the much-anticipated storm pummeled the country’s fourth-largest city — overwhelming the 911 system and sending some residents, against the advice of officials, into their attics to flee floodwaters — many asked the question: Should Houston have been evacuated? If so, why wasn’t it?
At least one official thought it should have been.
I sometimes give Texas a hard time. which they mostly deserve.
But right now my heart goes out the folks dealing with this catastrophe.
Apparently Harvey has already dropped nine trillion tons of water.
I read that there may be four to five days more of this kind of rain, which means that the people of Houston, and the surrounding areas, may just be seeing the beginnings of the problems to come
Especially with this guy in charge.
Yep, he's on top of things.
You know if I were one of those kinds of people, you know which ones I mean, I might claim that this is evidence of God's wrath called down upon the people of Texas for trying to take away a woman's right to choose, or trying to suppress the vote, or anti-LGBTQ legislation, or sending Ted Cruz to the Senate, or because they keep threatening to secede, or any number of other offenses which might trouble an omnipotent being.
You know, if I were one of THOSE kind of people.
Which I'm not.

Though I have to say it is hard to imagine how things could get much worse.Astounding video shows numerous boats maneuvering around stranded vehicles on flooded street in Dickinson, Texas. https://t.co/JZvofyopoP http://pic.twitter.com/J5J2ZNxwiP— ABC News (@ABC) August 27, 2017
