 <img alt="CROSBY, TX - SEPTEMBER 04:  A refrigerant gas cylinder rests next to a truck in a ditch outside of the Arkema plant which received major damage from flooding caused by Hurricane and Tropical Storm Harvey on September 4, 2017 in Crosby, Texas. Today authorities lifted an evacuation order for a 1.5-mile perimeter around the facility which was put in place after the storm knocked out power, back-up generators and a nitrogen cooling system used to cool highly-volatile organic peroxides which the company warned would explode if they were not kept cool. Harvey, which made landfall north of Corpus Christi August 25, dumped nearly 50 inches of rain causing widespread flooding in Southeast Texas.

Trump was quick to sign a disaster proclamation for Texas on Friday night ahead of the storm hitting the coast, which he tweeted "unleashes the full force of government help!"</p><p>On Saturday morning, he tweeted that Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Brock Long is <a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/348083-trump-to-fema-chief-on-harvey-you-are-doing-a-great-job?rnd=1503747500">"doing a great job" </a>in his efforts to manage the hurricane impacts.</p><p>Harvey hit the Texas coast as a category 4 hurricane on Friday night. Overnight, the storm was downgraded to category 1, but remained a serious threat to southeast Texas. The full impact of the storm has not yet been tallied and catastrophic flood warnings were still in effect on Saturday.</p>]]><p></p></span><p></p>
