The tropical storm is expected to weaken and continue to the north.</p><p>The storm returned to land about 5 miles (8 kilometers) west of Cameron with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (72 kph).</p><p>Center meteorologist Dennis Feltgen said Tuesday that when Harvey came back to shore, &#8220;it&#8217;s the end of the beginning.&#8221;</p><p>Harvey is forecast to drop substantial amounts of rain on Louisiana before moving on to Arkansas, Tennessee and parts of Missouri, which could also see flooding.</p><p>Feltgen said there&#8217;s still a lot of residents in multiple states &#8220;who are going to feel the impacts of the storm.&#8221;</p><div class='code-block code-block-7' style='margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; clear: both;'><div style="margin-left:-38px;"></div></div><p>Harvey first made landfall Friday in Texas as a Category 4 hurricane.</p><p>___</p><p>2 a.m.</p><p>The National Weather Service has issued flash flood emergencies for parts of Southeast Texas, including Beaumont and Port Arthur.</p><p>KFDM-TV <a href="http://kfdm.com/news/local/port-arthur-in-crisis-mode">reports</a> the situation in Port Arthur is dire as homes were expected to fill with rising floodwaters and residents unsure of how to evacuate the city.</p><p>Jefferson County Sheriff Zena Stephens tells the station that county resources cannot get to Port Arthur because of the flooding and some residents have gone into survival mode.</p><p>Mayor Derrick Freeman said on his Facebook page that the &#8220;city is underwater right now but we are coming!&#8221; He also urged residents to get to higher ground, but avoid becoming trapped in attics.</p><p>Deputy Marcus McLellan says city&#8217;s 911 system has been inundated with calls, which are bouncing to other law enforcement agencies.

Police Chief Art Acevedo said violators would be searched and arrested.</p><p>Two additional shelters — the Toyota Center and NRG Park — opened to house displaced residents. Louisiana&#8217;s governor also offered to take in Harvey victims from Texas, and televangelist Joel Osteen opened his Houston megachurch, a 16,000-seat former arena, after critics blasted him on social media for not acting to help families displaced by the storm.</p><p>Harvey is expected to come inland Wednesday near the Texas-Louisiana border.</p></div><div class="Article__Footer"><div class="Article__FooterFlex"> <script type=x-placeholder data-widget=Plugs data-layout=standard data-postId=1079859></script> <div class="comments"> <script type=x-placeholder data-widget=CommentsButton data-mode=bottom></script> </div></div><div class="sharebar-footer"><div class="Sharebar --span-12"><div class="Sharebar__Link --facebook"> <a onclick="window.open('http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/harvey-hits-land-louisiana&amp;t=Hurricane Harvey Now A Tropical Storm, Hits Land Again In Louisiana', 'newwindow', 'width=530, height=450'); return false;"  target="blank"> <i class="fa fa-facebook-official" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span>share</span> </a></div><div class="Sharebar__Link --twitter"> <a onclick="window.open('https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?via=TPM&text=Hurricane Harvey Now A Tropical Storm, Hits Land Again In Louisiana&url=https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/harvey-hits-land-louisiana', 'newwindow', 'width=530, height=450'); return false;" target="blank"> <i class="fa fa-twitter" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span>tweet</span> </a></div><div class="Sharebar__Link --email"> <a onclick="window.open('mailto:?subject=Hurricane Harvey Now A Tropical Storm, Hits Land Again In Louisiana&amp;body=Check%20out%20this%20article%20on%20TPM:%20https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/harvey-hits-land-louisiana', 'newwindow', 'width=530, height=450'); return false;" target="blank"> <i class="fa fa-envelope-o" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span>email</span> </a></div><div class="--marker-bookmark-control"></div></div></div> <script type=x-placeholder data-widget="AdSlot" data-props="{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;article_flex&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[1,1],&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;article_flex&quot;,&quot;oop&quot;:false,&quot;targeting&quot;:[]}" ></script> <div class="Revcontent --span-12"><div class= "Feature__Revcontent --span-12"><div id="rcjsload_1a9f72"></div> <script type="text/javascript">(function() {
