    <p>HOUSTON, TX — Hurricane Harvey took no mercy when he decided to crash the Texas coast this weekend. From Corpus Christi to San Antonio, Austin, Houston and all the way to the Louisiana state line, the damage has been nothing short of devastating.<br /></p> <p>While people look to recover their homes and lives from Rockport, Port Aransas, Victoria and Corpus Christi — where the strong Category 4 storm made landfall — folks in the Greater Houston area are dealing with the biggest flood in the city's history.</p> <p>Texas Governor Greg Abbott briefed the state on Sunday afternoon, and he said Houston and its surrounding cities and counties will receive <a href="https://patch.com/texas/houston/hurricane-harvey-5-die-floodwaters-while-hundreds-rescued-flood-areas" target="_blank">sustained rainfall</a> the next couple of days.</p> <p><em>(For more local news, click here to sign up for <a href="https://patch.com/texas/midtownhouston/subscribe">real-time news alerts </a>and newsletters from Midtown Houston Patch, and click here to find your <a href="https://patch.com/texas">local Texas Patch</a>.

The triangle engulfs Houston and San Antonio.</p> <p>Abbott gave a report of some resources that have been deployed. Here are some of those numbers and other numbers surrounding Harvey, which is now a tropical storm but still churning and burning along the Texas coast.</p> <p><strong>3,000</strong> — Amount of National Guard and State Guard members deployed in places between Victoria and Houston.</p> <p><strong>6 </strong>— Confirmed dead from the storm.</p> <p><strong>400</strong> — TxDOT members involved in recovery missions in Corpus Christi and Victoria areas, where they are removing debris and repairing signs.</p> <p><strong>316,000</strong> — Reported power outages in the state. That didn't include any updated power outages in the greater Houston area, but it's still a smaller number than yesterday's 338,000</p> <p><strong>250</strong> — Highway closures statewide (as of 2:45 p.m.)</p> <p><strong>100</strong> — Game Wardens working on water rescue missions.</p> <p><strong>60</strong> — Watercrafts used by Game Wardens.</p> <p><strong>400</strong> — Combined members of Texas Task Force 1 and Texas Task Force 2 in search and rescue missions between Victoria and Houston.</p> <p><strong>1,750</strong> — DPS troopers from all over the state working the aforementioned Triangle Region.</p> <p><strong>10</strong> — States that have sent resources (including helicopters). Abbott said Texas has received assistance from California, New York, Nebraska, Tennessee, Utah, Missouri, Ohio, Arizona, Louisiana and Florida. This doesn't include federal support, Abbott said.</p> <p><strong>2,000</strong> — Search and Rescue Missions in Houston as of noon Sunday</p> <p><strong>3,500</strong> — 911 calls in Houston for search and rescue by 10 a.m. Sunday</p> <p><strong>130,000</strong> — Amount of meals the Red Cross is providing each day.</p> <p><strong>60</strong> — Buses at Tully Stadium in the Houston ISD that are to take evacuees to shelters.</p> <p><strong>50</strong> — Final amount in inches of rain expected from Harvey by the time the storm leaves Texas.</p> <p><strong>500</strong> — Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said this is the 500-year storm, as it relates to the 500-year flood plain.</p> <p>"This is the biggest flood in the history of Texas," Patrick said. "It's a Texas-sized storm, but in recovery we'll have a Texas sized effort."<br /></p> <p>For anyone wanting to help or donate to the Red Cross, they can visit <a href="http://www.redcross.org/hp/harvey3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">redcross.org</a>, or they can call 1-800-red-cross.</p> <p>For anyone driving and wanting highway closure information, they can visit <a href="https://drivetexas.org/#/7/32.340/-99.500?future=false" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">drivetexas.org</a>.</p> <figure><img src="https://cdn.patchcdn.com/assets/emailer/spacer.gif" class="img-lazy" data-src="https://cdn20.patchcdn.com/users/22947177/20170827/044542/styles/raw/public/processed_images/1503866742-1503866742-5125.jpg" data-image="22947177-1503866743" alt="" title="" /><figcaption>photo via Texas Department of Transportation</figcaption></figure><p><br /></p> <p><em>Top image: Andrew White (L) helps a neighbor down a street after rescuing her from her home in his boat in the upscale River Oaks neighborhood after it was inundated with flooding from Hurricane Harvey on August 27, 2017 in Houston, Texas.
