					<p>Hurricane Harvey, the first Category 4 hurricane to make landfall in the US since 2004, has turned into a tropical storm but has dropped absolutely unbelievable amounts of rain, creating havoc in Texas and shutting down passenger flights at several airports, including in Houston.</p>
<p>Meteorologists now expect over 50 inches of rain to drop in some areas, which would be an all-time record for the most rain from a tropical system.</p>
<p>In scenes reminiscent of Hurricane Katrina, Houston highways have turned into rivers, residents are being rescued from roofs and the <a href="https://twitter.com/AP/status/901823827721773057" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convention center has now been opened as a large-scale shelter</a>. The National Weather Service is still warning of a &#8220;flash flood emergency for life-threatening catastrophic flooding.&#8221;</p>

<p>In the devastation, <a href="http://www.fly.faa.gov/flyfaa/flyfaaindex.jsp?ARPT=IAH&amp;p=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">both of Houston&#8217;s major airports have closed</a> — along with <a href="http://www.fly.faa.gov/flyfaa/flyfaaindex.jsp?ARPT=IAH&amp;p=0">six others in the area</a>, including Corpus Christi (CRP). Houston&#8217;s George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) is closed to all flights except for military and relief flights. It&#8217;s not expected to re-open until Monday at noon. Houston&#8217;s other commercial airport, Hobby, is dealing with flooding on the runways, which has shuttered operations likely through Wednesday morning.</p>
<p>Understandably, <a href="https://flightaware.com/live/cancelled/today" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cancellations are piling up</a>. For Sunday alone, nearly 1,700 flights have been cancelled in the US — most from Hurricane Harvey. When you add in cancellations for the past few days and flights already cancelled for Monday and Tuesday, there have been over 4,000 cancellations due to the storm.</p>
<p>Long-haul flights that took off for IAH before the closure are now being diverted. A <a href="https://twitter.com/TheAviationBeat/status/901852446477225989" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KLM flight from Amsterdam (AMS) is diverting to Atlanta (ATL)</a>, Air New Zealand&#8217;s flight from Auckland (AKL) is <a href="https://flightaware.com/live/flight/ANZ28" target="_blank" rel="noopener">diverting to Los Angeles (LAX) instead</a> and <a href="https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAL160/history/20170827/0730Z/EDDM/KORD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United&#8217;s flight from Munich (MUC) is going to Chicago (ORD)</a>.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking to donate to relief efforts, American Airlines and United have set up donation campaigns allowing you to <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/2017/08/earn-miles-helping-harvey-recovery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">earn up to 10 miles per dollar donated</a>.</p>
