That toll includes six people in Harris County, home to Houston; one person in Rockport, near where Harvey made landfall; and another person in La Marque, near Galveston.</p> <p>Authorities expect the toll to rise as rescue efforts continue and <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2017/08/28/rains-from-harvey-obliterate-records-flood-disaster-to-expand/?utm_term=.924b77fe9fad">more rain, rising rivers and surging floodwaters</a> pummel the Gulf Coast. Forecasters say up to 20 inches of additional rain could fall on parts of Texas and Louisiana by Thursday.</p> <p>About 2,000 people had been brought to safety with more still in need of help. Yet even with several deaths attributed to the storm, the full toll of Harvey’s destruction remained unclear in Houston and across Texas and Louisiana, with officials warning that the flooding would linger and saying more than 30,000 people would be forced from their homes.</p> <p>“We are not out of the woods yet,” Elaine Duke, the acting Homeland Security secretary, said during a Monday morning briefing in Washington. “Harvey is still a dangerous and historic storm.”</p> <p channel="wp.com" class="interstitial-link"> <i> [<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/08/28/water-is-swallowing-us-up-in-houston-desperate-flood-victims-turn-to-social-media-for-survival/?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_texans-vignettes-9pm:homepage/story&amp;utm_term=.1a82dd18ae71">‘Water is swallowing us up’: In Houston, desperate flood victims turn to social media for survival</a>] </i> </p> <p>The latest confirmed fatality Monday came at around noon in Porter, a town immediately north of Houston in Montgomery County. Police said a woman in her 60s was napping in her bedroom when a large oak tree landed on top of her mobile home. By the time rescue workers waded through the waist-deep water to rescue the woman, she was dead.</p> <p>“This is the most significant flooding that we’ve ever seen,” said Montgomery County Sheriff’s Captain Bryan Carlisle, who added that deputies had performed at least 60 rescue missions on Monday. “It’s helped that the rain has slowed down somewhat. We’re going to be dealing with flooding for the foreseeable future.”</p> <p>Fears also grew beyond Texas, where the floodwater pounding this city and others was measured in feet, not inches. President Trump on Monday declared “emergency conditions” in Louisiana, where forecasts have called for as much as two feet of rainfall in some areas.</p> <p>During a news conference Monday, Trump said he expects Congress to take “very rapid action” to help the storm-ravaged areas. Trump, who is visiting Texas on Tuesday, also told reporters he <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/08/28/trump-to-visit-south-texas-in-the-wake-of-hurricane-harvey/?utm_term=.b7b11ccdfffc">may return to Texas</a> on Saturday and, depending on the storm’s movements, could also visit Louisiana the same day.</p> <p>“I look very much forward to it,” Trump said of his planned Tuesday trip to Texas. “Things are being handled really well.

While Houston was spared Harvey’s initial onslaught, disaster suddenly beset the city, as severe storms Saturday evening gave way to flooding Sunday morning.</p> <p>Though officials asked residents not to travel during the storm, in some cases, people could not wait. Early Monday morning, a man came running into the lobby of the Marriott Courtyard hotel in Southwest Houston. He said he had a pregnant woman in his truck who was about to deliver.</p> <p>Crystal Manker, the hotel’s operations manager, was shocked enough that anyone made it to the hotel, which had been surrounded by deep, impassable floodwaters and abandoned, submerged cars since the night before. Nobody had gotten in or out for 24 hours. But hotel staff went with the man through the swamped parking lot, and finally into waist-deep water where his truck had stalled, with a pregnant woman and her husband inside.</p> <p>The man said he had seen the husband’s desperate call on Twitter that his wife was in labor and they couldn’t get out of their home. It was close by, so he and a friend drove through the deep water and picked them up. They started toward Texas Children’s Hospital, but as they got closer to the overflowed Brays Bayou, the water became too deep to pass.</p> <p>As their truck started stalling, saw the Courtyard, which is on the banks of the Bray, and ran inside to get help. Manker said she called 911, and got through after ten minutes. She told the operator the woman’s contractions were eight minutes apart, and the operator told her to call back when they got closer.</p> <p>At that point Manker said the baby seemed destined to be born in a hurricane-marooned Marriott, so she and her staff rolled a bed into a ground-floor meeting room. They hurried in with sheets, towels, water, pillows and scissors.</p> <p>Manker remembered that three nurses from Louisiana had been relocated to the hotel. She called them and they rushed down — even though none of them had ever delivered a baby.</p> <p>As the mother-to-be lay in the bed in the meeting room for more than an hour, Manker called 911 again and told the operator contractions were down to two minutes apart. The nurses were getting ready.</p> <p>Then a huge city dump truck appeared. Several men helped the woman into the truck, which then headed off into the 4-foot deep water, across the swamped bridge across the bayou and toward the hospital.</p> <p>Maker was still waiting for word Monday morning on how everything went. She was most amazed at the men who answered the Twitter call for help.</p> <p>“They had to be her angel,” she said.</p> <div class="inline-content inline-video"> <div class="posttv-video-embed powa" data-ad-bar="1" data-aspect-ratio="0.5625" data-blurb="1" data-live="0" data-object-id="59a3445be4b0e0e6b33b1546" data-org="wapo" data-playthrough="1" data-uuid="264f933a-8b75-11e7-9c53-6a169beb0953" data-youtube-id="UZPtwTHVrZM"> <script async="" src="https://www.washingtonpost.com/player/prod/PoWaLoaderWapo.js?_=20180208"></script> </div> <div class="inline-video-caption"> <span class="pb-caption">Employees of Houston's KHOU 11 News station had to evacuate their newsroom on Aug. 27 due to flooding as Harvey continued to pound Southeast Texas.
