In some sections of south and southwest Harris County, where Houston is located, more than 4 inches (10 centimeters) of rain had fallen in an hour.

Shaughnessy, a retired police officer, says she had her family run to their laundry room and wait out the tornado. Their house shook and framed pictures fell off the walls. It passed a few minutes later. Shaughnessy came outside to find small holes in her roof and wooden planks from her fence missing. Nearby, contractors tore the remains of a chimney off one home and sized up the broken windows of another.

Large branches of trees will snap and shallowly rooted trees may be toppled. Extensive damage to power lines and poles likely will result in power outages that could last a few to several days.

Get out now,” said Mr Rios. “Those that are going to stay, it’s unfortunate but they should make some type of preparations. Mark their arm with a Sharpie pen. Put their Social Security number on it and their name.” He added that rescue workers would not be able to come to their aid once the storm, the largest to hit the US since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, slammed into the Texas coast. “We’ve got first responders available, but once it gets bad, we are not going to put their lives in jeopardy. They will not get help we will not be dispatching folks that decided to stay,” said Mr Rios, who is also mayor pro tempore of the city.","video":{"@type":"VideoObject","thumbnail":"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/video_previews/j/0/j0ogpmyze6kg0mvytwoozxv5xafcmqu-small.jpg"}},{"@type":"BlogPosting","url":"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/26/hurricane-harvey-130mph-winds-surging-waters-bring-major-damage/#update-20170826-0823","headline":"Rockport school destroyed","datePublished":"2017-08-26T08:23:17.733+01:00","articleBody":"People have posted videos and pictures on social media showing extensive damage to buildings in Rockport, Texas.

Mayor James Yarbrough said during a news conference on Friday that Hurricane Harvey is expected to flood downtown streets. A storm surge of 2 feet to 4 feet of water is expected to inundate much of the city while up to 8 feet could cover other areas. Storm surge is an abnormal rise of water above the normal tide, generated by a storm. He says a leading concern is that high tide will occur on Saturday morning, shortly after Harvey makes landfall, and the water is not expected to recede for three or four days. Galveston was lashed by Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Yarbrough says a difference is that Ike passed through quickly while Harvey will linger and drop substantial rainfall. He says utility lines and other infrastructure have been upgraded since 2008 to withstand a Category 5 hurricane. Harvey is forecast to become a Category 3 by the time it makes landfall."}]}

<p>Officials are urging people to stay off of the roads. The National Weather Service has received multiple reports of water rescues in Harris County and nearby areas. The Harris County sheriff's office said on Twitter that it rescued one driver from 3 feet (0.91 meters) of rushing water.</p>

<p>The tornado wound through the Houston suburb of Cypress, damaging several homes and buildings but causing no apparent injuries.</p>
<p>Shaughnessy, a retired police officer, says she had her family run to their laundry room and wait out the tornado. Their house shook and framed pictures fell off the walls.</p>
<p>It passed a few minutes later. Shaughnessy came outside to find small holes in her roof and wooden planks from her fence missing. Nearby, contractors tore the remains of a chimney off one home and sized up the broken windows of another.</p>
<p>Shaughnessy says she plans to stay in her home through the next several days, when heavy rain and strong winds are in the forecast.</p>

Category 1 can still be dangerous, here's what the <a href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshws.php">National Hurricane Centre</a> says about them. </p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Very dangerous winds will produce some damage:</strong> Well-constructed frame homes could have damage to roof, shingles, vinyl siding and gutters. Large branches of trees will snap and shallowly rooted trees may be toppled. Extensive damage to power lines and poles likely will result in power outages that could last a few to several days.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The storm is moving across Texas at about 6mph, which is not that fast. But a slow moving storm can in some cases cause more damage than a fast moving one because it lingers over the area rather than sweeping in and sweeping out. </p>

<blockquote>
<p>President Donald J. Trump continues to closely monitor Hurricane Harvey and the preparedness and response efforts of State, local, and Federal officials.  Today, the President received a briefing from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Brock Long, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke, his Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Advisor Thomas P. Bossert, and his Chief of Staff John F. Kelly.  Yesterday, the President spoke with Governors Greg Abbott of Texas and John Bel Edwards of Louisiana and committed to providing assistance as appropriate. </p>
<p>This storm will likely be very destructive for several days.  The President encourages people in the path of this dangerous storm to heed the advice and orders of their local and State officials.  The President’s highest priority is the safety of the public and of first responders.  Those who ignore evacuation orders could be putting both themselves and first responders in danger.  We encourage all Americans in the affected areas to be prepared, including by visiting Ready.gov, which provides preparedness plans and important links to information. </p>

<div class="articleBodyText section">
<div class="article-body-text component  ">
<div class="component-content">
<p><span class="m_first-letter m_first-letter--flagged">T</span>he mayor of the popular Texas Gulf Coast city of Galveston says the city is expected to be inundated with water from Hurricane Harvey.</p>
<p>Mayor James Yarbrough said during a news conference on Friday that Hurricane Harvey is expected to flood downtown streets. A storm surge of 2 feet to 4 feet of water is expected to inundate much of the city while up to 8 feet could cover other areas. Storm surge is an abnormal rise of water above the normal tide, generated by a storm.</p>
<p>He says a leading concern is that high tide will occur on Saturday morning, shortly after Harvey makes landfall, and the water is not expected to recede for three or four days.</p>
<p>Galveston was lashed by Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Yarbrough says a difference is that Ike passed through quickly while Harvey will linger and drop substantial rainfall.</p>
<p>He says utility lines and other infrastructure have been upgraded since 2008 to withstand a Category 5 hurricane. Harvey is forecast to become a Category 3 by the time it makes landfall.</p>
