Per <a href="https://www.reuters.com/">Reuters</a>, Hurricane Harvey floodwaters had encroached on at least 30,000 properties in the two counties, with a total market value of $23.4 billion. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/">Reuters</a> also estimated 26% is land value; the rest is buildings and other improvements. In Harris County, where Reuters was able to determine the property’s use, about 18% of the affected property is residential. As of today there are more than 103,000 individuals and households had been approved for FEMA assistance worth more than $66.4 million but that is not all the victims and the count continues to grow. <span id="more-5268"></span></p>
