Christi, Texas, where he was meeting with officials, including Governor
Greg Abbott, Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, and several members of
the Texas congressional delegation. The rain brought in by Hurricane—now
Tropical Storm—Harvey, was still falling in Houston; as Trump spoke, the
level crept up toward fifty inches, and past the record for the
continental United States, set forty years ago; before nightfall, it
would pass fifty-one inches. The Washington <!-- /react-text --><em data-reactid="165"><!-- react-text: 166 -->Post<!-- /react-text --></em><!-- react-text: 167 --> quoted experts who

Mississippi.” Hundreds of thousands of people may lose their homes; only
about a fifth of the households in Houston have flood insurance. By
Tuesday evening, thirty per cent of Harris County was underwater. But
President Trump had a different metric in mind: “What a crowd, what a
turnout!” he said, standing on a truck outside the firehouse. Then
someone handed him a Texas state flag, and he waved it.<!-- /react-text --></p><p data-reactid="171"><!-- react-text: 172 -->The problem is not that President Trump does not realize that Harvey is

acknowledging that it wasn’t time for congratulations, but offered a
prediction that Houston would soon be better than ever: “We’ll
congratulate each other when it’s all finished.” Later in the day, at a
briefing at a control center in Austin, he said that his team’s
coördination had been “incredible—everybody’s talking about it,” then
offered this observation on the challenge that they faced: “Nobody has
ever seen this much water. . . . The water has never been seen like
this, to this, to the extent. And it’s, uh, maybe someday going to

by the time the plane landed.) The group did not go to Houston, citing
the logistical needs of the city. Trump might have had a better view of
the flood waters on television, but, Governor Abbott said, “We want him
to see and understand.”<!-- /react-text --></p><p data-reactid="192"><!-- react-text: 193 -->What will be harder is persuading not only Trump but the Republican
Party that Harvey has a reality that reaches beyond the borders of this
storm, and involves major policy issues. Both Senators Cruz and Cornyn
voted against a major emergency-relief bill allocating funds for
rebuilding and recovery after Superstorm Sandy. Cruz, in particular, has
misrepresented that bill’s contents and its purpose, saying that
two-thirds of the money in it wasn’t <!-- /react-text --><em data-reactid="194"><!-- react-text: 195 -->really<!-- /react-text --></em><!-- react-text: 196 --> related to Sandy but was,
rather, pork and other wasteful government spending. (Glenn Kessler, the
Washington <!-- /react-text --><em data-reactid="197"><!-- react-text: 198 -->Post’s<!-- /react-text --></em><!-- react-text: 199 --> fact checker, gave Cruz three Pinocchios for that.)
Cruz and others, including Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, also
complained that the bill wasn’t <!-- /react-text --><em data-reactid="200"><!-- react-text: 201 -->really<!-- /react-text --></em><!-- react-text: 202 --> for emergency spending because
it covered things like improving forecasts and repairing damaged
infrastructure in a way that protected it against the next storm. This
time, for the congressional Republicans, as much as for Trump, the
emergency can’t stop when the rain does.<!-- /react-text --></p><p data-reactid="203"><!-- react-text: 204 -->The federal government, as it exists beyond the White House, has been
busy in its response to the immediate disaster. It undoubtedly helps
that the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Brock
Long, worked on the response to Hurricane Katrina, and has had a sense
of how badly things can be mismanaged. (On Tuesday, the twelfth
anniversary of that storm, Harvey was turning toward the Louisiana coast
and New Orleans.) The local authorities have also been indefatigable,
though the decision that Houston’s mayor, Sylvester Turner (a Democrat),
made to discourage a mass evacuation of the city before the storm will
be debated, and criticized, for years. But part of the legacy of Katrina
was more regulations about, for example, building standards, which are
precisely the sort of rules that Trump has pledged to roll<!-- /react-text --><span data-page="page_final" data-reactid="205"></span><!-- react-text: 206 --> back; indeed,
he revoked some requirements related to flood controls on federal
projects just weeks ago. Ben Carson has also disparaged the role of
government in providing aid, and of his own department in housing those
in need. How will that ideological insistence on limited government
translate into practical help for Houston’s homeless and dispossessed?
The challenge that Harvey presents is not simply logistical; it is
political.<!-- /react-text --></p><p data-reactid="207"><!-- react-text: 208 -->It is also human, and the scenes of <!-- /react-text --><a href="http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/listening-to-houstons-desperate-cries-for-help-after-harvey" class="ArticleBody__link___1FS03" data-reactid="209"><!-- react-text: 210 -->neighbors and family members rescuing one another<!-- /react-text --></a><!-- react-text: 211 --> have been wrenching and riveting. CNN broadcast the
story of a seventeen-year-old boy who set out alone, in a kayak, to get
help for his wheelchair-bound mother. Private charities have done
extraordinary work. But this disaster requires more than they can
humanly give. If the tragedy of Harvey is not met properly and
consistently, on a national level and with an eye toward a long-term
commitment, it could mean the decline and fall of a great American city.
(The population of Houston’s metropolitan area is some six and a half
million, about ten times the population of New Orleans at the time of
Katrina.)<!-- /react-text --></p><p data-reactid="212"><!-- react-text: 213 -->And is there a chance that sitting in a control center in Austin is
going to persuade Trump that climate change is not a hoax perpetrated by
the Chinese? Or that it will make him rethink pulling the United States
out of the Paris agreement? Here the problem is not just Trump, or his
tweets, or his seriousness. The leaders of the Republican Party—along
with too many other Americans—continue to deny what has become obvious:
that, although it is hard to connect climate change to any one storm,
climate change has increased, and will continue to increase, the number
of extreme weather events. As the storm approached, Trump tweeted
repeatedly about what a surprise it was. The only logic by which the
devastation of Houston is a surprise is the logic of reality television,
with twists that come out of nowhere and serve no human purpose but to
move the plot along. Such twists are not meant to provide a basis for
changing behavior. As for whether they will change Donald Trump—we’re
still waiting.<!-- /react-text --></p></div></div></div></div><footer class="ArticleFooter__footer___3-wlJ" data-reactid="214"><!-- react-empty: 215 --><div class="ArticleContributors__bio___3XQjk"

delegation. The rain brought in by Hurricane—now\nTropical Storm—Harvey, was still falling in Houston; as Trump spoke, the\nlevel crept up toward fifty inches, and past the record for the\ncontinental United States, set forty years ago; before nightfall, it\nwould pass fifty-one inches.

By\nTuesday evening, thirty per cent of Harris County was underwater. But\nPresident Trump had a different metric in mind: “What a crowd, what a\nturnout!” he said, standing on a truck outside the firehouse. Then\nsomeone handed him a Texas state flag, and he waved it."],["p","The problem is not that President Trump does not realize that Harvey is\nhuge; a number of his tweets on the storm have contained the word “Wow,”\nand he called it “epic” and “historic,” adding that “Texas can handle\nanything!” But ",["a",{"href":"http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/treating-patients-at-houstons-largest-emergency-shelter-as-hurricane-harvey-rages"},"the enormity of the situation"]," does not seem to have\norganized his thoughts beyond declarations of how it will be matched by\nthe greatness of his Administration and its allies.

",["em",{"class":"small"},"GET OUT NOW"],"!!” Get out to\nwhere? What are the practical consequences of a breach? Trump didn’t\nsay.

The water has never been seen like\nthis, to this, to the extent. And it’s, uh, maybe someday going to\ndisappear. We keep waiting!” Trump had recognized the magnitude of the\nmoment, at least as a news story, even before Harvey made landfall; on\nMonday, when he was asked why he had chosen that time to announce his ",["a",{"href":"http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/why-trumps-arpaio-pardon-is-a-nationwide-call-to-political-arms"},"pardon of Joe Arpaio"],", the disgraced former sheriff of Maricopa County,\nArizona, Trump said, “Actually, in the middle of a hurricane, even\nthough it was a Friday evening, I assumed the ratings would be far\nhigher than they would be normally.”"],["p","Several Cabinet secretaries, including Ben Carson, the Secretary of\nHousing and Urban Development, joined Trump on the flight to Texas, as\ndid the First Lady. (The President wore a jacket built for rain; Melania\nTrump looked ready for a high-end safari. Many observers were puzzled by\nher choice of footwear—achingly high stilettos—but she had changed them\nby the time the plane landed.) The group did not go to Houston, citing\nthe logistical needs of the city. Trump might have had a better view of\nthe flood waters on television, but, Governor Abbott said, “We want him\nto see and understand.”"],["p","What will be harder is persuading not only Trump but the Republican\nParty that Harvey has a reality that reaches beyond the borders of this\nstorm, and involves major policy issues. Both Senators Cruz and Cornyn\nvoted against a major emergency-relief bill allocating funds for\nrebuilding and recovery after Superstorm Sandy. Cruz, in particular, has\nmisrepresented that bill’s contents and its purpose, saying that\ntwo-thirds of the money in it wasn’t ",["em","really"]," related to Sandy but was,\nrather, pork and other wasteful government spending. (Glenn Kessler, the\nWashington ",["em","Post’s"]," fact checker, gave Cruz three Pinocchios for that.)\nCruz and others, including Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, also\ncomplained that the bill wasn’t ",["em","really"]," for emergency spending because\nit covered things like improving forecasts and repairing damaged\ninfrastructure in a way that protected it against the next storm. This\ntime, for the congressional Republicans, as much as for Trump, the\nemergency can’t stop when the rain does."],["p","The federal government, as it exists beyond the White House, has been\nbusy in its response to the immediate disaster. It undoubtedly helps\nthat the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Brock\nLong, worked on the response to Hurricane Katrina, and has had a sense\nof how badly things can be mismanaged. (On Tuesday, the twelfth\nanniversary of that storm, Harvey was turning toward the Louisiana coast\nand New Orleans.) The local authorities have also been indefatigable,\nthough the decision that Houston’s mayor, Sylvester Turner (a Democrat),\nmade to discourage a mass evacuation of the city before the storm will\nbe debated, and criticized, for years. But part of the legacy of Katrina\nwas more regulations about, for example, building standards, which are\nprecisely the sort of rules that Trump has pledged to roll",["inline-embed",{"type":"analytics","meta":"%7B%22type%22%3A%22analytics%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22final%22%2C%22width%22%3A%22%22%2C%22height%22%3A%22%22%2C%22caption%22%3A%22%22%7D","ref":""}]," back; indeed,\nhe revoked some requirements related to flood controls on federal\nprojects just weeks ago.

CNN broadcast the\nstory of a seventeen-year-old boy who set out alone, in a kayak, to get\nhelp for his wheelchair-bound mother. Private charities have done\nextraordinary work. But this disaster requires more than they can\nhumanly give. If the tragedy of Harvey is not met properly and\nconsistently, on a national level and with an eye toward a long-term\ncommitment, it could mean the decline and fall of a great American city.\n(The population of Houston’s metropolitan area is some six and a half\nmillion, about ten times the population of New Orleans at the time of\nKatrina.)"],["p","And is there a chance that sitting in a control center in Austin is\ngoing to persuade Trump that climate change is not a hoax perpetrated by\nthe Chinese? Or that it will make him rethink pulling the United States\nout of the Paris agreement? Here the problem is not just Trump, or his\ntweets, or his seriousness. The leaders of the Republican Party—along\nwith too many other Americans—continue to deny what has become obvious:\nthat, although it is hard to connect climate change to any one storm,\nclimate change has increased, and will continue to increase, the number\nof extreme weather events. As the storm approached, Trump tweeted\nrepeatedly about what a surprise it was. The only logic by which the\ndevastation of Houston is a surprise is the logic of reality television,\nwith twists that come out of nowhere and serve no human purpose but to\nmove the plot along. Such twists are not meant to provide a basis for\nchanging behavior.
