            <p> Harvey made landfall near Corpus Christi late Friday night, then stalled, all the while dumping rain measured in feet. Now the storm is expected to dip back into the Gulf of Mexico, then hit Houston for a second time by Wednesday.</p><p>Today, Governor Greg Abbott activated all 12,000 members of the Texas National Guard for search-and-rescue missions.

            <p> We’re just west of downtown Houston and we’re really seeing what is being seen all over city.</p><p>Scenes like this are playing out everywhere. We drove a little bit around today. Everywhere we went, the streets just like this. And of the many, many amazing things is that all the people that are coming out and forming these impromptu rescue units, just as we have been standing here, just a moment ago, a family walked past with a young child, and the woman was very, very pregnant.</p><p>It’s just unbelievable.</p>

            <p> Chris, you get the sense that people are banding together and relying on each other as much they can, not necessarily waiting for the authorities to come rescue them. Is that what you’re seeing?</p>

            <p> We spent some time earlier this afternoon with a group of neighbors who had formed an impromptu rescue chain, where people were going into this apartment complex with boats, getting — encouraging people to leave their homes.</p><p>And once the people got out of their homes, they then went to the next node of this chain where the people were directing them to shelters or to hotels. And this was all organized on the scene in the moment.</p>

            <p> What does surprise me as I see this scene there with the driving rain and a lot of water behind you is there is still quite a bit of put activity. What is going on there right now? What are people doing?</p>

            <p> This scene is just like many of the other scenes throughout the city. People are coming up. We have seen number of people launch their boats. And they have been taking the boats down through the flooded waters.</p><p>That truck that just passed me is actually from the Ohio task force, so people are dispatching clearly from all over to go to different places. Just down the way, I’m not sure if you can actually see it here, but there’s an 18-wheeler that has been stuck in the water, and there’s a group of people walking toward it.</p><p>Also, people seem to be coming out from the right here as they’re basically making their way towards higher ground. And just beyond my view, there’s a higher spot where people who have walked out of the water are kind of walking up to what seems to be rides that have been arranged to pick them up.</p>
