id="vuukle-powerbar" class="vuukle-powerbar powerbarBoxDiv" style=" "></div><p><b>Hurricane Harvey brought biblical rain and flooding to southeastern Texas this past weekend, and it seems to be settling in for a while.</b></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">The catastrophic flooding is already the worst in the area’s recorded history, news outlets reported on Sunday. Much of the southeastern part of the state got more than 20 inches of rain over Saturday and Sunday, with some locations receiving more than 30 inches of water. </span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">The Houston/Galveston office of the </span><a
href="http://www.weather.gov/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank"><span
style="font-weight: 400;">National Weather Service</span></a><span
style="font-weight: 400;"> recorded rainfall of more than 24 inches in 24 hours, the office </span><a
href="https://twitter.com/NWSHouston/status/901782033197916161" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank"><span
style="font-weight: 400;">tweeted</span></a><span
style="font-weight: 400;"> early on Sunday morning.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">The city was expecting another 3 inches per hour overnight on Sunday evening. </span></p><div
class='code-block code-block-1' style='margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; clear: both;'><div
id="cedato_ad"></div></div><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">Several deaths were reported in the Houston area. In one case, a woman and child on Interstate 10 were presumed dead, but rescuers were unable to reach the location where they were stranded, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez </span><a
href="https://twitter.com/SheriffEd_HCSO/status/901711132917993478" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank"><span
style="font-weight: 400;">tweeted</span></a><span
style="font-weight: 400;">. The full number of fatalities was unlikely to be known for several days.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">More than 6.5 million people live in the region.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">The NWS is forecasting continued major flooding in the coming days, beyond the feet of water that submerged parts of Houston and the surrounding area on Sunday.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">Several local officials and the NWS were tweeting out advice to those trapped by floodwaters.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">“Have reports of people getting into attic to escape floodwater,” Chief Art Acevedo of the Houston Police Department </span><a
href="https://twitter.com/ArtAcevedo/status/901723767537324032" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank"><span
style="font-weight: 400;">tweeted</span></a><span
style="font-weight: 400;">. “Do not do so unless you have an ax or means to break through onto your roof.”</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">“Do not go into your attic. Rescuers from air can&#8217;t see you. Get to high ground, mark your roof,” the U.S. Coast Guard </span><a
href="https://twitter.com/USCGHeartland/status/901884015338287109" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank"><span
style="font-weight: 400;">tweeted</span></a><span
style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">They also asked people to stay off the road.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">“Never drive or walk into flood waters,” NWS </span><a
href="https://twitter.com/NWS/status/901971958379708416" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank"><span
style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span
style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">Anyone with water in their home or business should also turn off their electric and gas, Acevedo said.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">The rainfall has already broken records for the month of August, and although Hurricane Harvey was downgraded to a tropical storm on Sunday, it seemed likely to linger, dumping even more water. The flood threat had spread to southern Louisiana as of Sunday evening.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">The hurricane also spawned tornado warnings on Sunday evening for several areas around Houston.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">“This event is unprecedented and all impacts are unknown and beyond anything experienced. Follow orders from officials to ensure safety,” the NWS </span><a
href="https://twitter.com/NWS/status/901832717070983169" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank"><span
style="font-weight: 400;">tweeted</span></a><span
style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">The storm is likely to remain at tropical storm strength through Wednesday, the NWS said. Meteorologists at multiple forecasting websites were predicting rainfall through Friday.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">Not all of the news was bad. Gonzalez shared stories of rescues on his </span><a
href="https://twitter.com/sheriffed_hcso?lang=en" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank"><span
style="font-weight: 400;">Twitter account</span></a><span
style="font-weight: 400;">. Among those taken to safety were a Vietnam veteran with muscular dystrophy and his three cats, a pregnant woman who had gone into labor, and a man who’d been stranded in 8-foot water for several hours. </span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">When he put out a call for anyone with a boat who could help, several citizens reached out and offered their assistance.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">Houston police rescued more than 1,200 people, Acevedo said. The Coast Guard also reported hundreds of rescues.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">President Donald Trump was expected to visit Houston soon, possibly on Tuesday news outlets reported.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">“I will be going to Texas as soon as that trip can be made without causing disruption. The focus must be life and safety,” Trump said on his </span><a

style="font-weight: 400;">official Twitter account</span></a><span
style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p><h3>How to help</h3><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">Several organizations are collecting donations to help those displaced by Hurricane Harvey. </span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">Anyone with a boat in the Houston area may call 713-881-3100 to find out how they can volunteer or loan the boat for rescue operations. </span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">Those eligible to donate blood in the Houston area can donate at the </span><a
