Harvey had been downgraded to a tropical storm as of Saturday afternoon (Aug. 26), but the National Weather Service still warned of a \"serious flooding event unfolding\" inland over Texas, according to ABC, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is warning residents that there are more torrential rains to come, with flooding a major issue all over the regions that have been hit. Officials believe more casualties are likely as the storm continues to batter the Lone Star State in the coming days.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://tasteofcountry.com/tags/blake-shelton/\">Blake Shelton</a>, <a href=\"http://tasteofcountry.com/tags/chris-janson/\">Chris Janson</a>, and <a href=\"http://tasteofcountry.com/tags/lady-antebellum/\">Lady Antebellum</a> singer <a href=\"http://tasteofcountry.com/tags/charles-kelley/\">Charles Kelley</a> are among the other country singers who shared prayers and well wishes for the beleaguered residents of Texas. Lady A were among the acts who had to cancel shows due to Hurricane Harvey; the trio <a href=\"http://tasteofcountry.com/hurricane-harvey-lady-antebellum-houston-concert-canceled/\">canceled their gig</a> scheduled for the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Houston on Sunday (Aug. 27) due to safety concerns.\r\n\r\nGov. Abbott says despite the difficult circumstances, the evacuees he's met with are survivors, and he feels confident the state will bounce back.\r\n\r\n\"They are what I call typical Texans. They were resilient, they were strong, they were strong-spirited, they were happy,\" he told reporters at a press conference Saturday afternoon. \"They were just happy to be there and be alive.\"\r\n\r\nThe staff of Taste of Country sends our thoughts and prayers out to everyone in Texas during this difficult time.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Country Songs Inspired by
