- 4 inches of rain an hour fell overnight; more than 2,500 rescues made already; another night of torrential rainfall predicted with an eventual total of as much as 50 inches.
I'm in houston texas. . Houstonians always do their best and go out of their way to help other people that's what I love about my home.. we take actions ourselves.. and put ourselves at risk to save others... stay strong houston we're going to get through this ✊✊❤❤
I heard two Houston policemen say they were not told about the possible flooding, and were not mobilized by their mayor! So they went out to help using their own boats.
Yet even here in Australia we all have known for days about the massive flooding coming to Houston!!
This is the start of it.
1000frolly thank you these man made bs storms or syorms charged up by man r insane. The sheep need to eake asap
Not true we in Houston knew for days that it was coming so maybe the cops you mention didnt watch the news
Not true at all, we live in Houston and we knew Harvey was coming 4 days prior. People just don’t prepare and wait last minute.
I am sure that the National Guard, firefighters, police officers, rescuers are doing an incredible hard work, but as I've seen on ABC, CNN, FOX, etc. They obviously need help from other states, Helping rescuers should come from all over the America! From every state!I am in Boston if they ask for volunteers for help, I will apply immediately!
No signs telling her to stop? How about the fact the lane barriers are completely submerged? Do you really need a printed sign to use basic observational logic?
A lot of people just wanted new cars and flooded the car or Mac truck. Their is no way most did not know
so glad to see AMERICANS from all races come to help these poor ppl.
Our prayers to all those in Houston, friends, family and even those we don't know. May God keep you safe.
And to all those people with rash comments, well God bless you too.

Houston we have a problem
Tevin Changoo *haha.*
Tom Hanks is such a great actor
Why in the world would she drive into all that water to begin with?? She shouldn't be driving if she doesn't understand that. She's very lucky that she is ok
Miss W because shes not native shes an out of towner
Love to all the humble samaritans!!!!
4ft of snow is a disaster 🤔can't imagine four ft of rain a junior swimming pool? Are gas stations compromised? Drinking water and sewage? God help these people please.
I evacuated from Rockport to just north of Houston and now everything's underwater
everybody in new orleans is like, see, told yall
Thankyou Cajun Navy
I remember these days well. Although Houston did not get a direct hit , we had loads of rain. 7 months later, we are still recovering.
No signs telling her not to drive into the water. How she got a CDL?!😂😂😂 How she survive this long?
Shes from California
Trump is going there tomorrow? Haven't these people suffered enough?
When this story originally aired, the reporter said 20 ft of rain, it's been heavily edited.
Take note Louisiana this is how you deal with a hurricane. We help each other not stand on a street corner yelling "help" at the government with our hands out.
3rdcoast Ambit I guess all the cops, firemen, and National Guard should abandon Houston since government is bad? I guess FEMA is of no use either.
Sad for the people. Now is we need to united ... Trump forget about wall .. now
Texas need money 💰 money Trump needs to awaked up
God bless to everyone in Texas from Canada
New Orleans Where Yall At???
khidma mass they came to help thanks cajun navy👍
our late dtr and i rode it out in westbury, near meyerland. our last cruise.
For the ones who are saying no one knew. That's a lie. I live in Houston and we were given over a weeks warning that it could be bad. I don't even like our liberal mayor. But he has done a great job and is still doing a great job. If someone says they didn't know them maybe they weren't listening.
"Unprecedented"? What 'bout Allison in 2001, Rita in 2005 and Ike in 2008?
those storms were nothing compared to harvey
This is only the beginning
Good thing the mayor of Houston told everyone to stay home. Good call!
Cal Crappie yes he did and it was the RIGHT call. Google Hurricane Rita and read up on that. Then you’ll know why the Mayor made that CORRECT call.
I’m here in Houston. We lost our home, my childhood home.. and so much more in Harvey.
It was a nightmare scenario like none I’ve ever seen. I’m 62 and have been here all of my life. We’re alive and hangin on all most a year later.
*She said she saw no signs tell her to stop. 🤣 The intense flooding is a big sign, enough. Good lord...* 🤦♂️
Never understood why the city allowed buildings in the flood plain. Yes, I grew up there. And we kept wondering why. End result, flooding, time and time again, this time is the worst.
Lord send help fast for all people praying for everyone!!!
I’m going to visit Houston later next month
So many rescues. Somebody should have warned them there was a hurricane coming and advised the to evacuate before it was too late.
They were warned. Mayor told everyone to stay in Houston.
Corpus was suppose to get the worst part not Houston. We were only suppose to get some rain, not 50 inches of rain
Great thing Obama did, went personally and hugged those in need, desperate, sad, worried. He showed a great, loving heart. Well done President Obama!
I am following this, and the rains continue to keep coming down in Houston and the surrounding areas.....like Katrina and New Orleans, now a second city Houston after Harvey! Another City Flooded!
Bob Dewey I can't believe ppl didn't take the warnings of 40 plus inches of rain and leave !!
Tammy, I agree....why didn't anyone heed the warning, I would've.
I'm glad I never moved to Texas.. I hope the rain stops soon.
Were glad too
I'm in Louisiana and we have places flooded. Rain is a bitch.
H Town city of oilers football
I can't decide if Tom llamas or Lester holt is a better reporter?
Lucas Devlin why do you say there both garbage anyway?
No wonder every one says everything is bigger is Texas
Sharing the information news
大変なことになってますね
Didn't Houston get flooded about three years ago or something!
First it was the tax day floods on 2016 and then the thousand year flood in 2017.
So who stayed in the hurricane,needs to get out of their house cause of the massive flooding.THey should have evacuated sooner....
There were no signs huh. How about the water covering the dam highway. An the fact she thought she could just drive through cause she drove a rig.
50 inches unfortunately this prediction was too low
WOW TO MUCH LIP.NEED MORE HELP
Now this will stop the phone scammers ha ha ha so funny
hey its small guy.
Katrina Part 2
Please tell the right authority to send boats and airplanes to get us out of Texas, Please, Please, Please!!!
Katrina all over again
Smh im not understanding why these people's didn't listen when the news told them about the storm
Pebbles King Amen !! People once again not taking personal responsibility for there lives and property !! Just really dumb is all many have to think !! I would not wait for a mayor to tell me to go !!
The Hurricane switched directions abruptly, sending it to Houston. At that point it was too late to order everyone in Houston to evacuate. Ordering a massive evacuation would severely clog the streets, interstates and highways with millions of cars, creating an enormous traffic jam which can still remain with no end even while the hurricane passes overhead. There was a past hurricane in America that took the lives of many stranded in traffic jams made up of people evacuating. This was why the mayor recommended that everyone remain at their homes.
Evacuating a small amount of people is one thing, but evacuating millions and millions of people out of the 4th largest city in America at such short notice is chaos.
We are Houston Strong BABY! Please stay away Trump!
I rode mah jet ski :)
Old news really?
My last name is Harvey
I hope Texas is sparred from the next storm that is forming in the Atlantic again..it might be larger than Harvey, but should hopefully go up the coast, rather than into the Gulf.
Trump opened a new coal mine - and now look!
Where is US army...
WHY DUDE INLOVE THEM CARS WHY DONT PEOPLE SAVE THEM THEY JUST LEAVE THEM THERE LIKE THEY ARE JUST TRASH MAN I JUST HATE THEM MAN I HATE THEM PEOPLE
They said evacuate... they didn't. Now we have to spend tons and tons of money on search and rescue.
nope, the mayor of Houston told everyone to STAY...
i live in Texas and i remember the mayor of Houston going on air, telling the residents to stay cause about 100 people died trying to leave the city before hurricane Rita hit in 2005.
when u have the 4th largest city in the US trying to vacate the city, all roads out will get clogged.
once you leave the city, 6 lane highways go to 2 lane highways to San antonio, austin and DFW...

no they didn't. We know the threat of flooding in Houston, and we wouldn't think twice if we're told to leave. They've maintained their position that we should stay put until things started to turn bad, and now with voluntary evacuation it's just not feasible as the roads out are inundated.
akui88 Why would ppl listen to a mayor lol how Damn dumb can human beings get. They told them 40 plus inches of rain was coming. So you grab a few bags on Saturday throw some clothes, medicine, pictures, and always have a plan some extra cash on hand tank full of gas and head inland a 100 miles and wait until it is time to head home . Always have flood insurance. This falls back to personal responsibility.
Talk about draining the swamp.
...no signs telling her to stop! Wasn't she looking where she was going??? Ok, blame someone else for your own mistakes. Put other people's lives in danger. No problem.
Jesus Christ is on His way back, these have been prophesied, repent and believe the gospel
Amen!
Stewmeat I read 7 Bible's and they all said the same thing. Praise Satan
Stewmeat
AMEN
Stewmeat Jesus been on his way back for hundreds of years. Whats new
ahhhh........nope. try again
Why don't you use your news helicopters to save people you guys have like 50
Climate change trump nah
The left think they can stop volcanoes. With the proper funding of course
Valerie Mc Phail WTF u talking about
Poverty proposed stair damage honest adequate correspondent morning space.
A true president should be there, right now, helping his people!
Lorena Arias he gotta be passing laws not helping in a disaster he can say his support but that's it Obama never did what u said trump should
I said a true president, I did not mention a specific one because they don't do such things, but I think they should.
Lorena Arias I agree 100% Anyone President of the United States should be there in person!
That would endanger the president and would invest to much power in a government power; States have to practice for this and work with government agencies, If the president comes in that means they will have to reschedule and change there platform to his own bidding.
It would be smarter to have him work with FEMA or keep a overseeing role of the situation from D.C and step in if it gets out of control.
Trump is heading to Texas on tuesday.
global warming *cough cough*
Wow, you are an idiot. The largest hurricane ever recorded was in 1900, almost 120 years ago. Global warming wasn't even a concept back then. This is normal.
polifatts MILLIONS just refuse to take personal responsibility for there lives and property !! 5 million ppl in one small area 40 inches of rain this is going to happen !! Like pouring billions of our tax dollars into some find would have saved this from happening !! Meanwhile China and India are not paying shit !!
The Total Eclipse that went straight thru the US caused this to happen I believe. Eclipse events have happened since as far back as ppl could write about it.
this is god's punishment for voting trump in
Trump doesn't care
Why would he care? Government agencies are already in existence for this (fema is one; the national guard steps in alot during this) not only that but governors, mayors, advisors all who are trained for this role are dealing with it.
Why does he need to care exactly when the solution is being solved?
Are you aware Houston is majority non-white and Democrat? Fucking moron.
randy martinez - A Taxi driver cared check out the "Harvey that hawk" story Taxi driver saved hawks life
nah, he's busy pissing on hi Russian hookers and trying to get into Ivanka's panties.
randy martinez Hillary is pissed that you are late getting her grass mowed. Hillary also said to make sure that you use the back door.
Trump, remember to take your umbrellaYou don't want to get your hair wet.'Cos you're not an intelligent fella" Its fake news " is all that we'll getYou don't believe that the sea's getting warmWe'll carry on burning more oilAnd the energy that went into this stormWell that just happens once in a while
With another Republican in the White House will the disaster remain "un-presidented" ?
This must be Fake News because Trump doesn't believe in climate change......wonder if this may change his empty head?
