        <strong>Hurricane Harvey made landfall on the Texas Gulf
      Coast August 25, with winds topping 130 mph.</strong>
      </p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <strong>By Thursday, August 31, it was making its way northeast
    across Louisiana as a tropical depression with winds up to 20
    mph.</strong>
    </li>
    <li>
      <strong>A rain gauge near Highlands, Texas, registered 51.88
    inches of rainfall, breaking the record for the continental
    US.</strong>
    </li>
    <li>
      <strong>At least 41 deaths have been reported, and officials
    expect the toll to rise. Over 30,000Â people have taken
    refuge in shelters as dangerous flooding slowly
    recedes.</strong>
    </li>
  </ul>
<p>
  The worst of Hurricane Harvey was over by Thursday, August 31,
  but recovery from the rain and flooding in Texas and Louisiana is
  expected toÂ take months.
</p>
  <p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/category/harvey-2017">Harvey</a>
  was downgraded to a tropical depression on Wednesday night, but
  many parts of Texas and western Louisiana were still underwater a
  week after the hurricaneÂ started. And the monster storm
  isÂ not done yet â it's expected to cause flash flooding
  through many parts of Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, and
  Arkansas through Saturday.
</p>
  <p>
  Harvey's death toll continues to rise as family members and
  authorities report more fatalities. Galveston County Emergency
  Management <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/903086742768672768">confirmed
  three more</a> deaths on Wednesday night, bringing the total to
  at least 41.
</p>
  <p>
  Some <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/afp-harvey-hits-louisiana-as-texas-rescuers-race-against-clock-2017-8">
  33,000</a> people in Texas have sought refuge in more than 230
  shelters, and <a href="https://twitter.com/FEMA_Brock/status/903293579115757568">325,000</a>
  have signed up for disaster assistance, officials said.
</p>
  <p>
  "This is a landmark event for Texas," Brock Long, the Federal
  Emergency Management Agency administrator, said Monday. "Texas
  has never seen an event like this."

  Record rainfall and catastrophic flooding
</h2>
  <p>
  Harvey arrived on the shores of Texas as a hurricane Friday
  night, packing sustained wind speeds as high as 130 mph. It made
  a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/ap-western-louisiana-in-crosshairs-as-harvey-moves-back-to-land-2017-8">
  second landfall</a> as a tropical storm on the Texas border near
  Cameron, Louisiana, around <a href="https://twitter.com/NWSShreveport/status/902826214070636544">4:30
  a.m. CDT</a> on Wednesday. As of Thursday evening, it was
  classified as a tropical depression with maximum winds of 20 mph.
</p>
  <p>
  On Tuesday, a rain gauge near Highlands, Texas registered
  <a href="http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/nfdscc1.html">51.88
  inches</a> of rainfall â breaking the record for most rainfall
  from a single storm in the entire continental US. Houston saw 44
  inches, plunging much of the city underwater.
</p>
  <p>
  The storm's devastation continues to create problems in Texas.
  Early Thursday morning, a chemical plant in Crosby â 25 miles
  northeast of Houston â <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/why-chemical-plant-exploded-harvey-other-plants-risk-flooding-2017-8">
  reported two explosions,</a> and residents within a 1.5-mile
  square radius evacuated.

  The "relentless, torrential" <a href="http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/nfdscc1.html">rain</a>
  has moved east, and forecasters expect it to fizzle out by
  Saturday.
</p>
  <p>
  The federal <a href="http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/tropical/tropical_advisories.php?storm=HARVEY">
  Weather Prediction Center said</a> Tennessee, Kentucky, the
  southeastern tip of Indiana, southern Ohio, and West Virginia
  could see 2 to 5 inches of rain from the storm. Totals in
  isolated areas from western Tennessee to central Kentucky could
  reach 6 to 8 inches.
</p>
  <p>
  At 4 p.m. CDT on Thursday, Harvey was moving northeast across
  Mississippi at 20 mph, leaving flooding and destruction in its
  wake. The <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/33%C2%B048'00.0%22N+90%C2%B030'00.0%22W/@33.2379549,-90.75203,8.43z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d33.8!4d-90.5">
  center</a> of the storm was sitting about 109 miles north of
  Jackson.
</p>
  <p>
  The <a href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at4+shtml/152545.shtml?inundation#contents">
  storm surge</a> â the quick rise in water caused by a hurricane's
  strong winds â crested several feet at the height of the storm on
  the Texas coast. By Thursday, all local storm surge warnings had
  ended.
</p>
  <p>
  The National Weather Service called the rainfall event "<a href="https://twitter.com/NWS/status/901832717070983169">unprecedented</a>",
  and while the <a href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT4+shtml/DDHHMM.shtml">
  National Hurricane Center's warnings</a> of "catastrophic and
  life-threatening flooding" have subsided, the floodwaters in
  southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana will take days, if not a
  week, to retreat.

  Harvey's devastating hurricane-force winds, storm surge on the
  Gulf Coast, and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hurricane-harvey-why-houston-flooded-2017-8">
  landmark flooding</a> inland combined to make it a catastrophic
  event for Texas.
</p>
  <p>
  Officials expect more <a href="http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Houston-Police-officer-drowns-in-Harvey-12145510.php?cmpid=twitter-desktop">
  deaths</a> to be confirmed as Texas and Louisiana dig out from
  the worst storm in over a decade. Houston police Chief Art
  Acevedo <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/harvey-houston-worries-bodies-find-death-toll-flood-damage-photos-2017-8">

  The <a href="http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Houston-Police-officer-drowns-in-Harvey-12145510.php?cmpid=twitter-desktop">

</p>
  <p>
  Long said on Wednesday that crews were still focusing on rescue
  and recovery and would have to wait until the storm passed to
  fully evaluate the damage. Flooding and debris on roadways
  wereÂ still keeping emergency crews from reaching some
  places.
</p>
  <p>
  On Thursday, Houston firefighters started going door-to-door in
  order to search for survivors and survey the destruction. The
  Texas Department of Public Safety <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/houston-firefighters-search-thousands-flooded-homes-survivors-hurricane-harvey-2017-8">
  reported</a> that at least 37,000 homes had sustained major

  <p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hurricane-harvey-destruction-flooding-photos-2017-8">

  <p><a href="http://www.southernclimate.org/pages/person/hal-needham">Hal
  Needham</a>, a hurricane scientist at Louisiana State University,
  wrote in <a href="http://wxshift.com/news/blog/tropical-depression-harvey-is-threatening-texas-with-major-flooding">
  a blog post on the weather site WXshift</a> that a storm's
  category doesn't fully convey how dangerous rainfall could be and
  how much damage it could cause.
</p>
  <p>
  "Hurricanes and tropical storms throw three hazards at us: wind,
  rainfall, and storm surge," he wrote. "Think of the impacts
  separately. Storms with weaker winds are more likely to stall and
  dump heavier rainfall. This shocks people, as it would seem
  intuitive that a Category 5 hurricane would tend to dump more
  rain than a Category 1 hurricane. But the opposite is true."
</p>
  <p>
  While strong winds can rip shingles off roofs and tear down power
  lines, flooding often causes more widespread, costlier damage â
  and can be more dangerous for humans. The <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hermine-tropical-storm-hurricane-categories-2016-9">
  scale used to distinguish a hurricane from a tropical storm</a>
  is based solely on maximum sustained wind, but Needham explained
  that "storms are too complex to define by one number."

  "We want to do it better than ever before. We want to be looked

  How Texas and Louisiana prepared
</h2>
  <p>
  Thousands of Texas residents, many in the towns of Port Aransas,
  Port O'Connor, and Corpus Christi, near where the hurricane first
  made landfall, evacuated before the storm. The Corpus Christi
  Regional Transportation Authority began busing evacuees to San
  Antonio on Thursday.
</p>
  <p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hurricane-evacuations-traffic-jam-drowning-deaths-2017-8">
  Houston didn't order evacuations before the storm hit</a>, and
  only issued orders in some areas of Harris County on Monday and
  Tuesday. <a href="https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/author/jeff.masters">Jeff
  Masters</a>, a meteorologist at The Weather Company who cofounded
  the weather-data website Weather Underground, recommended
  evacuating only if local emergency experts said to do so. Many of
