CNBC - Houston crippled by catastrophic flood, mass evacuations ordered
CNBC reports: "The historic flooding that Tropical Storm Harvey unleashed on Houston
will likely worsen as federal engineers release water from overflowing
reservoirs to keep it from jumping dams and surging uncontrollably into
the homes they protect, officials said on Monday.
Some 30,000 residents of the nation's fourth-largest city were expected
to be left temporarily homeless by Harvey, which became the most
powerful hurricane to strike Texas in more than 50 years when it came
ashore on Friday near Corpus Christi, about 220 miles (354 km) south of
Houston. [...] Harvey was expected to remain over the state's Gulf Coast
for the next few days, dropping a year's worth of rain in about a week,
with threats of flooding extending into neighboring Louisiana."
Comment: Praying for Texas and I'd also like to share this link to a news report about how to donate to the relief effort if you are so moved.
