<p>HOUSTON &#8212; A Houston police officer drowned in Hurricane Harvey floodwaters, according to <a href="http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Houston-Police-officer-drowns-in-Harvey-12145510.php">the Houston Chronicle.</a></p>
<p>The officer was driving to work on Sunday when he got trapped in flood waters near Interstate 45. The officer was unable to get out of his vehicle and drowned, according to the paper.</p>
<p>According to the paper, the officer&#8217;s name will be released after the family has been notified. Officials said he worked with the department for more than 30 years.</p>
<p>“He was trying different routes, and took a wrong turn,” an official told the paper.</p>
<p><strong>Harvey&#8217;s havoc continues</strong></p>
<p>Harvey&#8217;s havoc continued to pour down, three days after the storm rammed Texas as a Category 4 hurricane, unleashing a torrent of rain, turning streets into rivers, and leaving thousands of residents stranded in flooded homes.</p>
<p>Harvey, a tropical storm by Tuesday morning with its eye hovering over the Gulf of Mexico, could still dump up to 15 inches of rain on portions of southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana, including the saturated Houston area, where thousands have been rescued and many more people still wait for help.</p>
<p>Headed east, the storm was due to dump more heavy rain across both states, worsening the &#8220;catastrophic and life-threatening&#8221; flooding situation, before making landfall again Wednesday morning, near the Texas-Louisiana border, according to the CNN Weather Center.</p>
<p><strong>Louisiana braces for Harvey&#8217;s rain</strong></p>
<p>Four people have died as a result of the catastrophic storm, and thousands of Texans are believed to have sat in darkness overnight Monday amid rising floodwaters.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Coast Guard is continuing to receive upwards of 1,000 calls per hour,&#8221; US Coast Guard Lt. Mike Hart said on Monday. The Coast Guard rescued more than 3,000 people on Monday, he said.</p>
<p><strong>Keep track of Harvey</strong></p>
<p>People have turned to the walkie-talkie app Zello to report their dire circumstances. Among them were an elderly couple trapped on a roof and a family caught in the maelstrom with three children, including one in the throes of a seizure and another with autism.</p>
<p>Search-and-rescue efforts unfolded at an inundated overpass in northeast Houston as residents walked through murky floodwater amid the rain. Many tried to help each other, and some guided seniors through the submerged street.</p>
<p><strong>Stuck in the flood? Here&#8217;s what to do</strong></p>
<p>And the water won&#8217;t stop rising anytime soon. Swollen rivers in east Texas aren&#8217;t expected to crest until later this week, and federal officials are already predicting the deadly storm will drive 30,000 people into shelters and spur 450,000 people to seek some sort of disaster assistance.</p>
<p><strong>Latest developments</strong></p>
<p>&#8212; The president and first lady arrived in Corpus Christi, Texas, around 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday to view the damage after the hurricane.</p>
<p>&#8212; Houston police have rescued at least 3,400 people in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey &#8212; and that number is expected to rise, <a href="https://twitter.com/ArtAcevedo/status/902519720867442690" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Police Chief Art Acevedo</a> tweeted Tuesday morning.</p>
<p>&#8212; Houston&#8217;s George R. Brown Convention Center hosted 9,021 evacuees on Monday night, said Bob Mayer, Red Cross disaster program manager. Those who couldn&#8217;t get a cot were given pillows and blankets to sleep on the floor, Red Cross spokeswoman Betsy Robertson said. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said city officials were looking for more shelter space.</p>
<p>&#8212; Houston officials will not ask for immigration status or documentation from anyone at any shelter, according to tweets in English and Spanish from <a href="https://twitter.com/HoustonTX" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the city&#8217;s verified account</a>.</p>
<p>&#8212; Dallas is preparing to <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/29/us/dallas-harvey-mega-shelter/index.html">open a mega-shelter at its downtown convention center</a>. Authorities aim to open the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Tuesday morning.</p>
<p><strong>Entire Texas National Guard activated</strong></p>
<p>Thousands of calls for help have gone out across Houston.</p>
<p>State, local and military rescue units have plucked thousands of stranded residents from the water and deluged homes.</p>
<p>&#8220;None of us (is) going to give up,&#8221; Acevedo said.</p>
<p>The Pentagon is identifying resources, including trucks, aircraft and troops, that can be dispatched for hurricane relief if the request comes, defense officials said. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott activated the entire Texas National Guard, roughly 12,000 Guardsmen, he said Monday.</p>
<p>In Harris County, authorities asked stranded people to hang sheets or towels from their homes so rescuers could spot them more easily.</p>
<p>The scope of how many people are trapped in flooded homes remains unclear.</p>
<p>Rep. Al Green told CNN that he believes 10,000 people are still trapped in flooded homes in just one section of Houston he toured Monday. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said she believes the number of trapped residents across Houston could be &#8220;tens of thousands.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Volunteers come to help</strong></p>
<p>Citizens with boats were assisting authorities in search-and-rescue efforts.</p>
<p>FEMA Administrator Brock Long encouraged more citizens to volunteer, saying recovery efforts would require community involvement. The <a href="https://www.nvoad.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster </a>website can direct people to religious and nongovernmental agencies that are helping people in at least 30 counties, he said.</p>
<p>But as water levels have risen, so has the desperation.</p>
<p>People started to panic, rushing rescue boats and even shooting at them if they didn&#8217;t stop, one volunteer rescuer said.</p>
<p>Clyde Cain of the Cajun Navy, a Louisiana-based rescue force that gained fame during Hurricane Katrina, said in one instance, a boat broke down, and while the crew sought shelter in a delivery truck, people tried to steal the inoperable boat.</p>
<p><strong>Nursing home residents rescued</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re making it difficult for us to rescue them,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You have people rushing the boat. Everyone wants to get in at the same time. They&#8217;re panicking. Water is rising.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jim McIngvale, who owns furniture stores in Houston and Richmond, also pitched in. He opened his doors to evacuees Sunday and gave 600 people a place to sleep.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have tons of mattresses in our warehouse, and we can provide them with a blanket,&#8221; he told CNN. &#8220;We have a restaurant inside the stores, and we are feeding them for free.&#8221;</p>
