 Hurricane Harvey is the worst rainfall disaster in US history
</span>
</span>
On Friday, August 25, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/category/hurricane-harvey">Hurricane Harvey</a> hit Corpus Christi, Texas, and then continued on to batter cities and towns along the Gulf of Mexico.</p><p>Since then, the tropical storm has killed at least 31 people, damaged or destroyed <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/port-arthur-texas-conditions-dire-residents-in-survival-mode/">approximately 20,000 homes</a>, and displaced tens of thousands. Winds have topped <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/tropical-storm-harvey-hurricane-updates-map-texas-where-landfall-damage-2017-8">130 mph</a> and downpours have reached <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2017/08/26/harveys-assault-on-texas-is-just-getting-started-disastrous-inland-flooding-expected/?utm_term=.b1f99002f8df">four inches per hour</a>. On August 30, a rain gauge near Cedar Bayou, Texas, measured 51.88 inches of rainfall, breaking the record for the continental United States set in 1978.</p><p>Some climatologists are <a href="https://spacecityweather.com/harvey-almost-certainly-the-biggest-us-flood-storm-of-all-time/">calling Harvey</a> the worst rainfall event in the country's history.</p><p>Business Insider produced an interactive map that shows where the storm struck hardest. Using <a href="http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/nfdscc1.html">data from the National Weather Service</a>, the figures below represent the total rainfall from August 24 at 8 p.m. CDT (when it started raining) to August 30 at 3 p.m. CDT.</p><p>Hover over a location, and it will show you the rainfall total. We will continue to update the map as more data becomes available.</p>

<p>"The 3-to-4 day rainfall totals of greater than 40 inches (possible 50 inches in locations surrounding Santa Fe and Dickinson) are simply mind-blowing that has lead to the largest flood in Houston-Galveston history," Houston's National Weather Service office <a href="https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=HGX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=0">wrote</a>.</p><p>A spokesperson from The National Weather Service in Washington, DC told Business Insider that the data was collected by automated gauges as well as <a href="https://www.weather.gov/lkn/volunteering.html">reports from volunteers.</a></p><p>During the first 72 hours of the storm, Harvey covered over a 20,000-square-mile area, <a href="https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/08/28/texas-state-climatologist-texas-just-broke-all-time-contiguous-u-s-rainfall-record/">according to</a> an analysis by Texas-based climatologist John Neilsen-Gammon.</p><p>On Wednesday morning, Harvey made <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/ap-western-louisiana-in-crosshairs-as-harvey-moves-back-to-land-2017-8">second landfall</a>near Cameron, Louisiana as a tropical storm with winds up to 40 mph. Forecasters expect an additional 3 to 6 inches of rain in eastern Texas, southwestern Louisiana, and parts of Kentucky, with some areas to get up to 10 inches.</p><p>Flood water has overwhelmed many areas in Houston, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hurricane-harvey-why-houston-flooded-2017-8">due partially to</a> the city's flat geography, outdated (and in some areas, blocked) drainage systems, and a recent construction boom that has eliminated <a href="http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Review-Developers-failing-to-follow-wetlands-6417918.php">over 38,000 acres of wetlands.</a></p><p>At least   <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 fled to more than 230 shelters, with <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/08/30/houston-shelters-including-sports-stadiums-mosques-swell-with-harvey-evacuees.html">11,000</a> people inside Houston's largest sports stadium.
