    <p>HOUSTON, TX — It's no secret that Hurricane Harvey downright messed with Texas when it made landfall last month. Harvey quickly developed from a tropical depression to a Category 2 storm, and within seven hours it strengthened from a Cat 2 to a Category 4 and slammed the Texas coast. Harvey moved east to batter Houston with more than 50 inches of rain and later pummeled the Golden Triangle. No part of the Texas coast went untouched.</p> <p>The numbers that have piled up — body count, rainfall, property destruction, donation dollars, etc. — like debris on a low-lying Meyerland street. Patch began compiling numbers during the storm and its immediate aftermath. On Friday the city of Houston launched a website that continues to track numbers from 911 and 311 calls, volunteers hours logged, amount of Red Cross shelters and total evacuees, metric yards of debris picked up and estimated structural damage.</p> <p>Earlier "by the numbers" segments published by Patch includes one on <a href="https://patch.com/texas/midtownhouston/hurricane-harvey-numbers-texas" target="_blank">Aug. 27 regarding</a> numbers of troops helping out and amount of power outages at the time, on Aug. 31 it was the amount of rainfall from Harvey and the fact it rained so much the National Weather Service had to <a href="https://patch.com/texas/midtownhouston/hurricane-harvey-numbers-texas" target="_blank">add two new colors</a> to track the event, and on Sept. 1 Patch chronicled the effects of Harvey by the numbers on <a href="https://patch.com/texas/midtownhouston/hurricane-harvey-numbers-texas" target="_blank">local schools and students</a>.</p> <p>Here's a look at a few numbers in the <a href="https://houstonrecovers.org/numbers/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">city's recent website</a> to track Harvey:</p> <p><strong>43,300 —</strong> Single-Family homes damaged</p> <p><strong>51.66 —</strong> Average rainfall from harvey, according to the National Weather Service</p> <p><strong>36 —</strong> Storm-related deaths in Harris County</p> <p><strong>256,845 —</strong> Volunteer hours logged</p> <p><strong>37,000 —</strong> Families sheltered in the more than 270 Red Cross locations</p> <p><strong>779,181 —</strong> Cubic yards of debris collected as of Friday</p> <p><strong>239 —</strong> Amount of Olympic-sized swimming pools the noted debris would fill</p> <p><strong>487 —</strong> Trucks delivering debris</p> <figure><a href="https://houstonrecovers.org/numbers/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://cdn.patchcdn.com/assets/emailer/spacer.gif" class="img-lazy" data-src="https://cdn20.patchcdn.com/users/22947177/20170929/072857/styles/raw/public/processed_images/1506727737-1506727737-6421.jpg" data-image="22947177-1506727738" alt="" title="" /></a><figcaption>Photo via City of Houston</figcaption></figure><p><em>(For more local news, click here to sign up for <a href="https://patch.com/texas/meyerland/subscribe">real-time news alerts </a>and newsletters from Meyerland Patch, and click here to find your <a href="https://patch.com/texas">local Texas Patch</a>.
