1,000 people had to be rescued overnight while the storm dumped anywhere from 15 to 30 inches of rain across southeast Texas. The heavy rain, coupled with the overflowing of Houston's bayous, meant water levels in some areas could reach 50 inches, <a href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT4+shtml/271454.shtml" target="_blank">according to the National Weather Service</a>.</div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">Now the city is wrestling with a massive effort to find shelter for displaced residents, sending them to centralized locations around the city that Turner calls "lily pads."</div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">The volume of this weekend's Harvey rainfall was largely predicted. CNN meteorologists on Friday forecast more than 20 inches of rain, and the National Weather Service first put Houston under a Flash Flood Watch -- meaning flooding was a possibility and residents should be prepared -- on Thursday afternoon at 4:38 p.m. </div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">But instead of issuing widespread evacuation orders, local officials asked people to stay put. </div><div class="el__embedded el__embedded--standard"><div class="el__storyelement--standard el__article--embed"><div class="el__article--teaseimage"><a href="/2017/08/26/politics/trump-hurricane-tweets/index.html" ><img class="media__image media__image--responsive" alt="Trump wants to visit Texas &amp;#39;ASAP,&amp;#39; official says" data-src-mini="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825234211-trump-walks-to-marine-one-small-169.jpg" data-src-xsmall="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825234211-trump-walks-to-marine-one-medium-plus-169.jpg" data-src-small="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825234211-trump-walks-to-marine-one-large-169.jpg" data-src-medium="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825234211-trump-walks-to-marine-one-exlarge-169.jpg" data-src-large="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825234211-trump-walks-to-marine-one-super-169.jpg" data-src-full16x9="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825234211-trump-walks-to-marine-one-full-169.jpg" data-src-mini1x1="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825234211-trump-walks-to-marine-one-small-11.jpg"  data-demand-load="not-loaded" data-eq-pts="mini: 0,  xsmall: 221,  small: 308,  medium: 461,  large:  781" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhEAAJAJEAAAAAAP///////wAAACH5BAEAAAIALAAAAAAQAAkAAAIKlI+py+0Po5yUFQA7"><div class="img__preloader"></div><noscript><img alt="Trump wants to visit Texas &amp;#39;ASAP,&amp;#39; official says" class="media__image" src="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170825234211-trump-walks-to-marine-one-large-169.jpg"></noscript></a></div><div class="media__caption el__storyelement__title"><span class="el__storyelement__header"><a href="/2017/08/26/politics/trump-hurricane-tweets/index.html">Trump wants to visit Texas &#39;ASAP,&#39; official says</a></span></div></div></div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">"At this time I can reemphasize there will be no mass evacuations called," said Harris County Judge Edward Emmett, who is responsible for overseeing emergency operations, at a joint press conference with Turner on Friday.

Greg Abbott appearing to call for an evacuation at a Friday press conference.</div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">"If you wait until you realize how serious this condition is, you likely will find that it's too late for you to be able to evacuate," Abbott said. </div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">When presented with the governor's comments in a separate press conference, Emmett said, "The other thing he said was, 'Listen to your local officials.'" </div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">"Perhaps it was a bit of a mixed message, but he has assured me, that that is his message. Listen to the local officials." </div><div class="zn-body__paragraph">"If we wanted to call an evacuation, we wouldn't even know where to call it," Emmett said, "cause we don't know where the rain's going to fall and which watersheds are going to be affected.
